Configuring CFM
CFM provides capabilities for detecting, verifying, and isolating connectivity failures in networks with
bridges operated by multiple independent organizations, each with restricted management access to each
other's equipment.
The CFM commands can be launched from the inventory by right-clicking a CFM node and selecting
Commands. Unless otherwise noted, all of the following commands are launched by right-clicking the
device and choosing Commands > Configure > Cisco. You can navigate from the MEP logical
inventory to the interface or port channel on which the MEP is configured.
To run the these commands, the software on the network element must support the technology. Before
executing any commands, you can preview them and view the results. If desired, you can also schedule
the commands. For details on the software versions Prime Network supports for the listed supported
network elements, see Cisco Prime Network 4.0 Supported Cisco VNEs.
Additional commands may be available for your devices. New commands are often provided in Prime
Network Device Packages, which can be downloaded from the Prime Network software download site.
For more information on how to download and install DPs and enable new commands, see the
information on “Adding Additional Device (VNE) support” in the Cisco Prime Network 4.0
Administrator Guide.
