Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) over EVC BD

Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) over EVC BD
IEEE CFM is an end-to-end per-service Ethernet-layer Operations, Administration, and Maintenance
(OAM) protocol. CFM includes proactive connectivity monitoring, fault verification, and fault isolation
for large Ethernet metropolitan-area networks (MANs) and WANs.
CFM over EVC BD (Up mep) and CFM over EVC BD (Down mep) features are supported on CFM over
EVC BD.
CFM over Xconnect (Up mep) and CFM over Xconnect (Down mep) features are not supported on CFM
over EVC BD.
The benefits of Ethernet CFM are:

•
This feature is supported only if you have purchased the appxk9 licensing package. CFM over EVC BD
Note
is available only on the Cisco 890 series ISR and ISRG2 platforms. For more information about
managing software activation licenses on the Cisco ISR and Cisco ISR G2 platforms, see

Competitive advantage for service providers
A specific domain must be configured. If it is not, an error message is displayed.
Multiple domains (different domain names) having the same maintenance level can be configured.
However, associating a single domain name with multiple maintenance levels is not permitted.
