Configuring CFM
Note You might be prompted to enter your device access credentials while executing a command. Once you
have entered them, these credentials will be used for every subsequent execution of a command in the
same GUI client session. If you want to change the credentials, click Edit Credentials. The Edit
Credentials button will not be available for SNMP commands or if the command is scheduled for a later
time.
Command Description
Maintenance
Domain > Configure CFM
Maintenance Domain
A maintenance domain is a management space for the purpose of
managing and administering a network. A single entity owns and
operates a domain and is defined by the set of ports internal to it and
at its boundary. Each maintenance domain can contain any number
of maintenance associations. Each maintenance association
identifies a service that can be uniquely identified within the
maintenance domain. The CFM protocol runs within a particular
maintenance association.
Using this command, assign a unique maintenance level to each
domain and a maintenance endpoint archived hold time. Maintenace
level defines the hierarchical relationship among domains and MEP
Archive Hold time acts as a demarcation point on an interface that
participates in CFM.
Global
Parameters > Configure CFM
Global Parameters
Enable CFM globally for a network element. Using this command
you can configure the device to transmit traceroute and loopback
messages with a hold-time value that indicates the validity of the
messages.

MIP > Configure CFM MIP The Configure CFM MIP command configures an operator-level
maintenance intermediate point (MIP) for the domain-level ID.
If the port on which a MIP is configured is blocked by
Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP), the MIP cannot receive CFM
messages or relay them toward the relay function side. The MIP can,
however, receive and respond to CFM messages from the wire.
A MIP has only one level associated with it, and the command-line
interface (CLI) does not allow you to configure a MIP for a domain
that does not exist.
Note This command is not supported on the Cisco Carrier Packet
Transport (CPT) System.
