Command Description
Maintenance
Domain > Configure CFM
Maintenance Domain
A maintenance domain is a management space for the purpose of
managing and administering a network. A single entity owns and
operates a domain and is defined by the set of ports internal to it and
at its boundary. Each maintenance domain can contain any number
of maintenance associations. Each maintenance association
identifies a service that can be uniquely identified within the
maintenance domain. The CFM protocol runs within a particular
maintenance association.
Using this command, assign a unique maintenance level to each
domain and a maintenance endpoint archived hold time. Maintenace
level defines the hierarchical relationship among domains and MEP
Archive Hold time acts as a demarcation point on an interface that
participates in CFM.
Global
Parameters > Configure CFM
Global Parameters
Enable CFM globally for a network element. Using this command
you can configure the device to transmit traceroute and loopba ck
messages with a hold-time value that indicates the validity of the
messages.

Continuity Check
Enable continuity check parameters on the specified domain,
service1, bridge group, and bridge domain names.
MIP > Configure CFM MIP The Configure CFM MIP command configures an operator-level
maintenance intermediate point (MIP) for the domain-level ID.
If the port on which a MIP is configured is blocked by
Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP), the MIP cannot receive CFM
messages or relay them toward the relay function side. The MIP can,
however, receive and respond to CFM messages from the wire.
A MIP has only one level associated with it, and the command-line
interface (CLI) does not allow you to configure a MIP for a domai n
that does not exist.
Note This command is not supported on the Cisco Carrier Packet
Transport (CPT) System.
Service ID > Configure CFM
Service ID Use the Configure CFM Service ID command to configure the CFM
service ID.
