create cfm md
Purpose
Used to create a maintenance domain for CFM.
Syntax
create cfm md <string 22> level <int 0-7>
Description
Use this command to create a CFM maintenance domain and set the level for that domain.
Parameters
md <string 22> - The new CFM maintenance domain name, each domain should have a unique
name.
level <int 0-7> - The level of the CFM domain. Level 7 is the highest level and 0 is the lowest.
Restrictions
Only Administrator-level users can issue this command.
Example usage:
To create a maintenance domain called “op_domain” and assign a maintenance domain level of “2”:
DES-3200-28F:4# create cfm md op_domain level 2
Command: create cfm md op_domain level 2
Success.
DES-3200-28F:4#
config cfm md
Purpose
Used to configure the parameters of a previously created CFM maintenance domain.
Syntax
config cfm md <string 22> { mip [ none | auto | explicit ] | sender_id [ none | chassis | manage |
chassis_manage ] } (1)
Description
Use this command for the creation of maintenance intermediate points (MIP) on the Maintenance
Association (MA) of the specified Maintenance Domain (MD). This is useful to trace the link, MIP
by MIP. It also allows the user to perform a loopback from a CFM maintenance endpoint (MEP) to
an MIP.
Parameters
md <string 22> - The name of the previously created maintenance domain (MD).
mip - This will create a maintenance intermediate points (MIP).
none - No MIP is created. This is the default value.
auto – MIPs on the MA of the specified MD can be created on any port in the MD, if the port is not
configured with an MEP of the MD being configured.
For an intermediate switch with the same Maintenance Administration (MA) configuration of the
specific Maintenance Domain (MD), the setting can be automatic for convenient use compared
with the following "explicit" setting.
explicit - MIPs can only be created on a port which has an existing lower level MEP configured on
it AND that port is not configured with an MEP of this MD.
sender_id - This is the control transmission of the sender identifier (ID) Type Length Value (TLV).
none - No sender ID TLV is transmitted. This is the default value.
chassis - Transmit the sender ID TLV with the chassis ID information.
manage - Transmit the sender ID TLV with the managed address information.
chassis_manage - Transmit sender ID TLV with chassis ID information and manage address
information.
Restrictions
Only Administrator-level users can issue this command.
Example usage
To configure the maintenance domain called “op_domain” and specify the explicit option for creating MIPs:
