Basic Configuration Tasks - 3Com S7906E Configuration Manual

Basic Configuration Tasks

Basic configuration tasks include:
Configuring Service Instance
Configuring MEP
Configuring MIP Generation Rules
Based on the network design, you should configure MEPs or the rules for generating MIPs on each
device. However, before doing this you must first configure the service instance.
Configuring Service Instance
A service instance is indicated by an integer to represent an MA in an MD. The MD and MA define the
level and VLAN attribute of the messages handled by the MPs in a service instance.
Follow these steps to configure a service instance:
To do...
Enter system view
Enable CFD
Configure the CFD protocol
version
Create an MD
Create an MA
Create a service instance
These configuration tasks are the foundation for other CFD configuration tasks.
The last three steps in the table above must be performed strictly in order.
The CFD protocol version used on different devices in an MD must be consistent; otherwise, the
devices cannot exchange CFD protocol packets.
Use the command...
system-view
cfd enable
cfd version { draft5 |
standard }
cfd md md-name level
level-value
cfd ma ma-name md md-name
vlan vlan-id
cfd service-instance
instance-id md md-name ma
