domain md-index

no domain md-index

Context

config>eth-cfm

Description

This command configures CFM domain parameters.

The dns, mac, and string keywords apply to dot1ag. The none keyword applies to Y.1731. If the none keyword is used, the association command must use the icc-based or string format. A MEP associated with domain formatnone and association formaticc-basedis a Y.1731 MEP. A MEP associated with domain format none and association format string is a Y.1731 MEP that can interoperate with a dot1ag MEP. All other configurations are associated with dot1ag MEPs.

The no form of the command removes the MD index parameters from the configuration.

Parameters

md-index

specifies the maintenance domain (MD) index value

Values

1 to 4294967295

format {dns | mac | none | string}

specifies a value that represents the type (format) of the md-name

Values

dns:           specifies the DNS name format

mac:           X:X:X:X:X:X-u

                   X: [0 to FF] hex

                   u: [0 to 65535] decimal

none:         no name specified (the domain represents a Y.1731 MEG, not a dot1ag domain)

string:      specifies an ASCII string

Default

string

md-name

specifies a generic maintenance domain (MD) name

Values

1 to 43 characters

level

specifies the integer identifying the maintenance domain level (MD level). Higher numbers correspond to higher-level maintenance domains (those with the greatest physical reach) with the highest values for customers’ CFM packets. Lower numbers correspond to lower-level maintenance domains (those with more limited physical reach) with the lowest values for single bridges or physical links.

Values

0 to 7

association

Syntax

association ma-index[format {icc-based | integer | string | vid | vpn-id}] name ma-name

association ma-index

no association ma-index

Context

config>eth-cfm>domain

Description

This command configures the maintenance association (MA) for the domain.

The integer, string, vid, and vpn-id keywords apply to dot1ag MAs. The icc-based keyword applies to Y.1731 MEGs, and is only available when the domain format is none. A MEP associated with domain format none and association format icc-based is a Y.1731 MEP. A MEP associated with domain format none and association format string is a Y.1731 MEP that can interoperate with a dot1ag MEP. All other configurations are associated with dot1ag MEPs.

Parameters

ma-index

specifies the MA index value

Values

1 to 4294967295

format {icc-based | integer | string | vid | vpn-id}

specifies a value that represents the type (format) of the ma-name

Values

icc-based:      raw ASCII, exactly 13 characters (the association is a Y.1731 MEG, not a dot1ag MA)

integer:          0 to 65535 (integer value 0 means the MA is not attached to a VID)

string:            raw ASCII

vid:                  0 to 4094

vpn-id:            RFC 2685, Virtual Private Networks Identifier

                       xxx:xxxx      where x is a value between 00 and FF (for example 00164D:AABBCCDD)

specifies the part of the maintenance association identifier that is unique within the maintenance domain name

Values

1 to 45 characters

bridge-identifier

Syntax

[no] bridge-identifier bridge-id

Context

config>eth-cfm>domain>association

Description

This command configures the service ID for the domain association. The bridge-id should be configured to match the service-id of the service where MEPs for this association will be created. For example, for Epipe service-id 2, set the bridge-id to 2. There is no verification that the service with a matching service-id exists.

This command does not apply to facility MEPs on network interfaces, as these MEPs are not bound to a service.

Parameters

bridge-id

inactivity-timer

Syntax

inactivity-timer timeout

no inactivity-timer

Context

config>eth-cfm>slm

Description

This command configures the time that the responder keeps a test active. If the time between packets exceeds this value within a test, the responder marks the previous test as complete. It treats any new packets from a peer with the same test-id, source MAC address, and MEP-ID as a new test, and indicates this by responding with the sequence number 1.

Default

100 s

Parameters

timeout

specifies the inactivity timeout value, in seconds

Values

10 to 100

Default

100

cfm-loopback

Syntax

cfm-loopback priority {low | high | dot1p}[match-vlan {vlan-range| none}]

no cfm-loopback

Context

config>port>ethernet

Description

This command enables the port to respond to Loopback Messages (LBMs) and sets the queuing and scheduling conditions for handling CFM LBM frames. The user selects the required QoS treatment by enabling the CFM loopback and including the high or low priority with the high or low keyword. The queue parameters and scheduler mappings associated with the high and low keywords are preconfigured and cannot be altered by the user.

The priority dot1p and match-vlan keywords apply only to physical ring ports on the 2-port 10GigE (Ethernet) Adapter card/module.

The parameters and mappings have the following settings:

  • for network egress, where profiled scheduling is the choice of scheduling:

    • high-priority: either cir = port_speed, which applies to all frames that are scheduled via an in-profile scheduler, or round-robin (RR) for all other (network egress queue) frames that are in-profile

    • low-priority: either cir = 0, pir = port_speed, which applies to all frames that are scheduled as out-of-profile, or RR for all other frames that are out-of-profile

  • for network egress or access egress, where 4-priority scheduling is enabled:

    • high-priority: either cir = port_speed, which applies to all frames that are scheduled via an expedited in-profile scheduler, or RR for all other (network egress queue) frames that reside in expedited queues and are in an in-profile state

    • low-priority: either cir = 0, pir = port_speed, which applies to all frames that are scheduled via a best effort out-of-profile scheduler, or RR for all other frames that reside in best-effort queues and are in an out-of-profile state

  • for the 6-port Ethernet 10Gbps Adapter card, the 8-port Gigabit Ethernet Adapter card, the 10-port 1GigE/1-port 10GigE X-Adapter card, and the v-port on the 2-port 10GigE (Ethernet) Adapter card/module, for network egress, where 16-priority scheduling is enabled:

    • high-priority: has higher priority than any user frames

    • low-priority: has lower priority than any user frames

  • for the physical ring ports on the 2-port 10GigE (Ethernet) Adapter card/module, which can only operate as network egress, the priority of the LBR frame is derived from the dot1p setting of the received LBM frame. Based on the assigned ring-type network queue policy, dot1p-to-queue mapping is handled using the same mapping rule that applies to all other user frames.

CFM loopback support on a physical ring port on the 2-port 10GigE (Ethernet) Adapter card/module differs from other Ethernet ports. For these ports, cfm-loopback is configured using dot1p and an optional list of up to 16 VLANs. The null VLAN is always applied. The CFM LBM will be processed if it does not contain a VLAN header, or if it contains a VLAN header with a VLAN ID that matches one in the configured match-vlan list.

The no form of the command disables the handling of CFM loopback frames.

Default

no cfm-loopback

Parameters

low

sets the queue parameters and scheduler mappings, as described above

high

sets the queue parameters and scheduler mappings, as described above

dot1p

sets the queue parameters and scheduler mappings on a physical ring port, as described above

match-vlan

sets the matching VLAN IDs that will allow a CFM loopback on a physical ring port when priority is set to dot1p, as described above

Values

vlan-range: 1 to 4094 (for example, 1-10,33,2123)

none: only untagged CFM LBMs are accepted

Default

none

dual-ended-loss-test-enable

Syntax

[no] dual-ended-loss-test-enable

Context

config>router>if>eth-cfm>mep

config>service>epipe>sap>eth-cfm>mep

Description

This command enables dual-ended loss measurement testing on a MEP. When enabled, the test runs in the background.

CCM must be enabled before the dual-ended loss measurement test can be enabled.

The dual-ended loss measurement test is not supported for VPLS SAPs.

The dual-ended and single-ended loss measurement tests are mutually exclusive tests. When the dual-ended loss measurement test is enabled, the single-ended test is not available.

The no form of the command disables the dual-ended loss measurement test.

This command applies only to Y.1731 MEPs.

Default

enabled

alarm-clear-threshold

Syntax

alarm-clear-threshold percentage

[no] alarm-clear-threshold

Context

config>router>if>eth-cfm>mep>dual-ended-loss-test-enable

config>service>epipe>sap>eth-cfm>mep>dual-ended-loss-test-enable

Description

This command configures a clearing alarm threshold for frame loss measurement, where percentage is defined as (the total number of Tx frames) divided by (the total number of frames dropped) expressed as a percentage.

If a dual-ended-loss alarm is outstanding and the alarm-clear-threshold is configured to a non-zero value, the dual-ended-loss clear alarm will not be raised until the dual-ended-loss ratio drops below the alarm-clear-threshold. If the alarm-clear-threshold is configured to 0, the dual-ended-loss clear alarm is raised immediately when the dual-ended-loss ratio drops below the alarm threshold.

This functionality prevents too many alarms from being generated if the loss ratio is toggling above and below the alarm threshold.

The alarm-clear-threshold cannot be greater than the alarm-threshold.

Setting the percentage to 0 means that no alarm-clear-threshold is configured; clear alarm traps will continue to be sent when the loss ratio is no longer above the alarm threshold. This is equivalent to using the no form of the command.

Parameters

percentage

0.00 to 100.00, adjustable in 0.01% increments

Default

0.00

alarm-threshold

Syntax

alarm-threshold percentage

no alarm-threshold

Context

config>router>if>eth-cfm>mep>dual-ended-loss-test-enable

Description

This command specifies the alarm threshold ratio for frame loss measurement, where percentage is defined as (the total number of Tx frames) divided by (the total number of frames dropped) expressed as a percentage. When the alarm threshold is reached, an alarm is raised.

The no form of the command removes the priority value from the configuration. Setting the percentage to 0.00 is equivalent to using the no form of the command.

Parameters

percentage

0.00 to 100.00, adjustable in 0.01% increments

Default

0.25

Description

This command enables an Ethernet (signal) test (ETH-Test) on a MEP. When enabled, the test runs in the background. This command applies to Y.1731 MEPs only.

For this test, operators must configure ETH-Test parameters on both sender and receiver nodes. The ETH-Test can then be run using the following OAM command:

oam eth-cfm eth-test mac-address mep mep-id domain md-index association ma-index [priority priority] [data-length data-length]

A check is done on the provisioning and the test commands to ensure that the MEP is a Y.1731 MEP. If the MEP is not a Y.1731 MEP, the operation fails and an error message in the CLI and SNMP will indicate the problem. A Y.1731 MEP has domain format none and association format icc-based or string (the string keyword enables the Y.1731 MEP to interoperate with a dot1ag MEP).

The no form of the command disables the ETH-Test on a MEP.

Default

enabled

config>service>vpls>sap>eth-cfm>mep>eth-test-enable

Description

This command configures a threshold for raising SNMP traps for one-way CFM tests.

For bit-error-threshold tests, test results are available only at the destination node. In order for the network management system to collect the results, SNMP traps need to be raised. This threshold is used to control when to raise a trap. When the number of bit errors reaches the threshold, an SNMP trap is raised.

Configuring a threshold value of 0 will cause the node to raise an SNMP trap for every one-way test it receives.

Parameters

bit-errors

the bit-error threshold

Values

0 to 11840

Default

1

test-pattern

Syntax

[no] test-pattern {all-zeros | all-ones}[crc-enable]

Context

Description

This command configures the test pattern for ETH-Test frames.

The no form of the command removes the values from the configuration.

Parameters

all-zeros | all-ones

specifies to use all zeros or all ones in the test pattern

Default

all-zeros

crc-enable

specifies to generate a CRC checksum

Description

This command specifies the lowest priority defect that is allowed to generate a fault alarm.

Default

remErrXcon

Parameters

allDef

DefRDICCM, DefMACstatus, DefRemoteCCM, DefErrorCCM, and DefXconCCM

macRemErrXcon

DefMACstatus, DefRemoteCCM, DefErrorCCM, and DefXconCCM

remErrXcon

only DefRemoteCCM, DefErrorCCM, and DefXconCCM

errXcon

only DefErrorCCM and DefXconCCM

xcon

only DefXconCCM

noXcon

no defects DefXcon or lower are to be reported

mac-address

Syntax

mac-address mac-address

no mac-address

Context

config>service>vpls>sap>eth-cfm>mep

Description

This command specifies the MAC address of the MEP. The command applies to VPLS SAPs only.

The no form of the command resets the MAC address to the MAC address of the port.

Default

n/a

Parameters

mac-address

MAC address of the MEP

Values

xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx or xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx, where xx is a hexadecimal number

one-way-delay-threshold

Syntax

one-way-delay-threshold seconds

Context

config>router>if>eth-cfm>mep

config>service>epipe>sap>eth-cfm>mep

config>service>vpls>sap>eth-cfm>mep

Description

This command configures a threshold for raising SNMP traps for one-way CFM tests.

For one-way-delay-threshold tests, test results are available only at the destination node. In order for the network management system to collect the results, SNMP traps need to be raised. This threshold is used to control when to raise a trap. When the delay time reaches the threshold, an SNMP trap is raised.

Configuring a threshold value of 0 will cause the node to raise an SNMP trap for every one-way test it receives.

Parameters

seconds

the delay time threshold value

Values

0 to 600

Default

3
