Default Ethernet CFM Configuration

CFM is globally disabled.

CFM is enabled on all interfaces when CFM is globally enabled.

A port can be configured as a flow point (MIP/MEP), a transparent port, or disabled (CFM disabled). By default, ports are transparent ports until configured as MEP, MIP, or disabled.

There are no MEPs or MIPs configured.

When configuring a MEP, if you do not configure direction, the default is up (inward facing).

For Multi-UNI CFM MEPs (with up direction), port-based model for MAC address assignment is used instead of bridge brain model.

Ethernet CFM Configuration Restrictions and Guidelines

You cannot configure CFM on VLAN interfaces.

CFM is configurable only under EVC and physical or port channel interfaces.

CFM is supported on ports running MSTP.

You must configure a port MEP at a lower level than any service (VLAN) MEPs on an interface.

Configuring the CFM Domain

Complete the following steps to configure the Ethernet CFM domain, configure a service to connect the domain to a VLAN, or configure a port to act as a MEP. You can also enter the optional commands to configure other parameters, such as continuity checks.

Note You do not need to enter the ethernet cfm ieee global configuration command to configure the CFM version as IEEE 802.1ag; the CFM version is always 802.1ag and the command is automatically generated when you enable CFM.
