Configuration Guide - Reliability
Applicable Environment
To manually detect the connectivity between two devices, you can send test packets and wait
for a reply to test whether the destination device is reachable. There are the following scenarios
based on the type of the link to be tested:
l
l
l
Pre-configuration Tasks
Before implementing 802.1ag MAC ping,
No pre-configuration tasks are needed to implement Gmac ping and PBB-TE MAC ping.
Data Preparation
To detect the connectivity on the Ethernet, you need the following data.
No.

(Optional) Implementing 802.1ag MAC Ping
By performing the 802.1ag MAC ping, you can detect connectivity between MEPs or between
MEPs and MIPs within an MA.
Context
Similar to the ping operation, 802.1ag MAC ping checks whether the destination device is
reachable by sending test packets and receiving response packets. In addition, the ping operation
time can be calculated at the transmitting end for network performance analysis.
Procedure
Step 1 A device is usually configured with multiple MDs and MAs. To precisely detect the connectivity
of a link between two or more devices, perform either of the following operations on the
router with a MEP at one end of the link to be tested.
Issue 02 (2014-09-30)
For the network where the MD, MA, and MEP are configured, you can implement 802.1ag
MAC ping to test the connectivity between MEPs at the same maintenance level or between
MEPs and MIPs at the same maintenance level.
For the network where the MD, MA, and MEP are not configured, you can implement
Gmac ping to test the connectivity between two devices.
You can implement PBB-TE MAC ping to test the connectivity on the PBB-TE tunnel.
Data
(Optional) Bridge MAC address of the device on which the destination MEP resides
or ID of the destination MEP
(Optional) Bridge MAC address of the device on which the destination MIP resides
(Optional) Number, size, timeout period, and outbound interface of LBMs
(Optional) VLAN to which the destination node belongs
(Optional) Name of the PBB-TE tunnel
