CFM
Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) is defined by IEEE 802.1ag, which is a standard for detecting, isolating and
reporting connectivity faults in a network. CFM is an end-to-end per-service-instance Ethernet layer operation,
administration, and management (OAM) function. CFM functions include path discovery, fault detection, fault
verification and isolation, and fault notification as defined by 802.1ag.
Ethernet CFM frames have a special Ether Type (0x8902). All CFM messages are confined to a maintenance
domain per VLAN basis. There are different message types which are identified by unique Opcode of the CFM
frame payload.
CFM message types that are supported include; Continuity Check Message (CCM), Loopback Message and
Response (LBM, LBR) and Linktrace Message and Response (LTM and LTR).
