Configuring Fault Alarms
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure Ethernet CFM fault alarms. Note
that you can configure fault alarms in either global configuration mode or Ethernet CFM interface MEP
mode. In case of conflict, the interface MEP mode configuration takes precedence.
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
ethernet cfm alarm notification {all | error-xcon |
mac-remote-error-xcon | none | remote-error-xcon
| xcon}
Step 3
ethernet cfm alarm delay value
Step 4
ethernet cfm alarm reset value
Step 5
ethernet cfm logging alarm ieee
Step 6
interface interface-id
Step 7
ethernet cfm mep domain domain-name mpid
identifier vlan vlan-id
OL-23400-01
Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Globally enable Ethernet CFM fault alarm notification for
the specified defects:
all—report all defects.
•
•
error-xcon—Report only error and connection
defects.
mac-remote-error-xcon—Report only MAC-address,
•
remote, error, and connection defects.
none—Report no defects.
•
remote-error-xcon—Report only remote, error, and
•
connection defects.
•
xcon—Report only connection defects.
(Optional) Set a delay period before a CFM fault alarm is
sent. The range is 2500 to 10000 milliseconds (ms). The
default is 2500 ms.
(Optional) Specify the time period before the CFM fault
alarm is reset. The range is 2500 to 10000 milliseconds
(ms). The default is 10000 ms.
Configure the switch to generate system logging messages
for the alarms.
(Optional) Specify an interface to configure, and enter
interface configuration mode.
Configure maintenance end points for the domain, and
enter ethernet cfm interface mep mode.
domain domain-name—Specify the name of the
•
created domain.
mpid identifier—Enter a maintenance end point
•
identifier. The identifier must be unique for each
VLAN. The range is 1 to 4094.
•
vlan vlan-id—Enter the service provider VLAN ID or
IDs as a VLAN-ID (1 to 4094), a range of VLAN-IDs
separated by a hyphen, or a series of VLAN IDs
separated by comma.
