1.Introduction
Aricent ECFM (Ethernet Connectivity Fault Management) specifies the protocol entities within the
architecture of Virtual Bridged LAN (Local Area Network) that provides the capabilities for detecting,
verifying and isolating connectivity failures in the Virtual Bridged LAN through CC (Continuity Check), LB
(LoopBack) and LT (LinkTrace) protocols for providing complete 802.1ag functionality. Performance
monitoring is done using LM (Loss Measurement), DM (Delay Measurement) functions and TH
(Throughput Measurement).
1.1 Purpose and Scope
This document describes the CLI (Command Line Interface) and SNMP (Simple Network Management
Protocol) configurations of Aricent ECFM to detect, isolate and verify the faults in connectivity in the
ECFM managed links. It also describes the configurations related to Y.1731 related configurations. The
reader is expected to have a basic knowledge of the protocol as a pre-requisite.

2.Product Description
This chapter describes Aricent ECFM and provides an overview of its salient features, such as, MD
(Maintenance Domain), MA (Maintenance Association), Maintenance Point and CFM (Connectivity Fault
Management) messages.
2.1 Ethernet CFM
Aricent ECFM provides capabilities useful for detecting, verifying, isolating connectivity failures and
performance monitoring in Virtual Bridged LANs. The fault detection, isolation and verification are done
through CC, LB and LT protocols. Performance monitoring is done using LM and DM functions. These
capabilities can be used in networks operated by multiple independent organizations, each with restricted
access to each other’s equipment.
In general, the network administrator is informed about the failure in the connection, based on the
reception of CCMs (Continuity Check Messages). The administrator can then initiate LB or LT accordingly
to determine and isolate the fault condition.
Aricent ECFM also provides performance monitoring functions for measurement of various performance
parameters in Ethernet point-to-point connections. It also supports measurement of frame loss ratio,
frame delay and frame delay variation performance parameters.
The CFM information is conveyed in protocol frames called CFM PDUs (CFM Protocol Data Units). The
CFM PDUs contain the appropriate control and status information used to detect, verify, and isolate
faults. It also contains information for path discovery in CFM-enabled links. The CFM PDUs are
processed, forwarded or discarded by the entities configured in the Bridge port, based on the MD
(Maintenance Domain) level to which that entity belongs.
• Defines Maintenance Domains, Maintenance Associations, their constituent Maintenance Points, and
the managed objects required to create and administer them.
• Describes the protocols and procedures used by Maintenance Points to detect and diagnose
connectivity faults within a maintenance domain.

ECFM
CFM Functions are categorized as follows:

• Fault Detection
• Fault Verification
• Fault Isolation
• Fault Notification
• Performance Management
Fault Detection uses Continuity Check Protocol to detect both connectivity failure and unintended
connectivity between service instances. Each MEP (Maintenance End Point) periodically transmits a
multicast CCM announcing the identity of the MEP and its MA and tracks the CCM reception from other
MEP’s.
Fault Verification is an administrative actions, typically performed after fault detection. It uses Loop Back
Protocol to perform Fault Verification. An MEP is ordered to transmit unicast LBM message to MEP in an
MA, and the receiving MEP replies (if Target MAC (Media Access Control) Address matches) sends a
LBR (Loop Back Reply) message.
Fault Isolation is also an administrative action that uses Link Trace Protocol to isolate the fault location, in
which an MEP is ordered to transmit multicast LTM (Link Trace Message) in an MA. All the receiving
entities, of the same MA, replies to it with unicast LTR (Link Trace Reply) message and failure in
expected LTR reception from an ECFM entity, finally isolates the fault location.
Fault Notification is achieved by AISs (Alarm Indication Signals), which notify and suppress alarms on
fault events, allowing the relevant operators to take appropriate actions.
Performance management is achieved through Frame Loss measurement and Frame Delay
measurement.
2.2 Maintenance Domain
A Maintenance Domain is the network or the part of the network for which faults in connectivity are
managed. A domain is owned and operated by a single entity and defined by a set of ports internal to it
and at its boundary.
Figure 2-1 Maintenance Domain in ECFM
CHAPTER 2: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
A Maintenance Domain is fully connected internally, that is, an MEP associated with an MD has
connectivity to every other MEP in the MD, in the absence of faults. The purpose of CFM is to monitor
and diagnose the ability of a maintenance domain to meet its operators’ intentions for connectivity.
Each Maintenance Domain is assigned a unique Maintenance Domain Name and Domain Level to
facilitate the easy identification of administrative responsibility for the Maintenance Domain.
Domains must not intersect, because intersecting indicates the management by more than one entity,
which is not allowed.
2.3 Maintenance Association / Service Instance
Administrator while configuring Maintenance Domains defines certain DSAPs (Domain Service Access
Point) to be directly accessed by the customer. Configuring Maintenance End Point on the defined
DSAPs with the same MAID and MD Level, established to verify the integrity of a single service instance
is one Maintenance Association (MA).
Figure 2-2 Maintenance Association
Figure 2-2 displays one Maintenance Association at the Customer MD Level. Two MEPs are defined on
bridge 1 and 6. The two MEPs together comprise one Maintenance Association.
MA is identified by a Short MA name that is unique in a maintenance domain. A MA is associated with
more than one VLAN (Virtual LAN), but different MAs cannot share one VLAN in a single Maintenance
Domain (MD).
For Example:
Figure 2-3 Example Maintenance Association

ECFM
Figure 2-3 illustrates a service instance from the customer C1 point of view. The customer has four items
of customer equipment attached to the four DSAPs 1-4, by which the operator connects the four DSAPs
to create the service instance that are invisible to the customer.
2.4 Maintenance Point
A maintenance point is a demarcation point on an interface (port) that participates in CFM within a
maintenance domain. Maintenance points on device ports act as filters that confine CFM frames within
the bounds of a domain by dropping frames that do not belong to the correct level. Maintenance Point is
either MEP or MHF.
A MEP or MHF, each have two principal SAPs, an Active SAP, through which the CFM Protocol Data
Units (PDUs) are exchanged and a Passive SAP, through which the unprocessed data frames and CFM
PDUs are passed.
A Maintenance Point is UP, if Active SAP is below Passive SAP or DOWN, if Active SAP is above
Passive SAP.
Figure 2-4 Maintenance Point in ECFM
A MEP is created on the Bridge Port and is associated with exactly one MA. A MEP is identified by its
MEPID (Range 1 - 8191) that is unique in an MA. It inherits the MD Level from the Maintenance Domain
and the Primary VID from the Maintenance Association.
2.5 MEP Functions
MEP is capable of initiating and terminating OAM frames for fault management and performance
monitoring.
The following are the MEP functions:
• Periodically transmits multicast or unicast CCMs.
• Transmits LBM, LTM, TST, DMM, LMM, AIS and LCK PDUs and responds to the LBMs with LBRs,
LTMs with LTRs, DMMs with DMRs, and LMMs with LMRs.
• Validates the received PDU.
• Discards the CFM PDUs that are at lower MD level than MEP.
2.6 MHF (MIP Half Function) Functions
• Validates the received PDUs.

• Validates the received CCM PDUs, and builds the MIP CCM Database.
• Responds to LBM PDUs with LBR PDUs.
• Responds to LTM PDUs by forwarding them and responding with LTR PDUs.
2.7 CFM Features
2.7.1 Fault Management
Fault Management is capability to pro-actively monitor the network for faults and notify the administrator
so that timely action can be taken to ensure availability of the network. Fault management includes fault
detection, fault verification, fault isolation, fault notification and fault recovery.
2.7.1.1 Continuity Check Protocol
Aricent ECFM uses the CC protocol to detect both connectivity failures and unintended connectivity
between service instances. Each MEP can periodically transmit a multicast CCM announcing the identity
of the MEP and its ME (Maintenance Entity), and track the CCMs received from the other MEPs. All
connectivity faults indicate either misdirected CCMs or the differences between the CCMs received and
the configured expectations of MEP. The state of the tracked CCMs is available to the operator for
examination. Following are the various error conditions that can be tracked through CCMs:
1. Loss of Continuity
2. Mismerge condition
3. Unexpected MEP
4. Unexpected MEG Level
5. Unexpected Period
6. Locally Detected Link Failure
7. Internal Hardware Failure
8. Internal Software Failure
2.7.1.2 LoopBack Protocol
Aricent ECFM uses the LB Protocol to support the fault verification functionality. Fault verification is an
administrative action typically performed after fault detection. Operator initiates the unicast LBM
(LoopBack Message) transmission from a specific MEP to an MEP/MIP or multicast LBM transmission to
an ME. On reception of LBM, the MP (MEP/MIP) validates the received LBM and generates the unicast
LBR (Loopback Reply), and transmits it to the originating MEP. The MEP records the information received
in the LBR for examination by the operator.
Unicast LBM can be used for the following applications:
1. To verify bi-directional connectivity of an MEP with an MIP or a peer MEP.

ECFM
2. To perform a bi-directional in-service or out-of-service diagnostics test between a pair of peer MEPs.
This includes verifying bandwidth throughput, detecting bit errors, and so on.
Multicast LBM can be used for the following application:
1. To verify bi-directional connectivity of an MEP with its entire ME.
2.7.1.3 LinkTrace Protocol
Aricent ECFM uses the LT Protocol to determine the Adjacent Relation Retrieval or for Fault Localization.
Operator initiates the multicast LTM (Link Trace Message) transmission from a specific MEP to an MEP.
On reception of LTM, the MP (MEP/MIP) generates the unicast LTR (Link Trace Reply), which is
transmitted back to the originating MEP. The LTM is also forwarded to the next MP. The originating MEP
accumulates the responses for examination by the operator.
2.7.1.4 Alarm Indication Signal
Aricent ECFM uses the AIS (Alarm Indication Signal) to suppress alarms at client-layer MEP(s), following
the detection of a fault/Locked condition/AIS condition at the server-layer MEP. Operator can enable or
disable the AIS functionality for an MEP, If AIS is enabled and a fault/Locked Condition/AIS Condition is
detected at an MEP, AIS frames will be transmitted to the client-layer MEPs in the direction opposite to
the peer MEP. On reception of the AIS frame, the client-layer MEP suppresses its fault alarms.
AIS frame can be multicast or unicast.
2.7.1.5 Locked Signal (LCK)
Aricent ECFM uses the LCK (Locked Signal) to communicate to its higher-level MEP(s) that the operator
had deliberately interrupted the data-traffic (Higher layer OAM PDUs and Data-frames), to perform some
Out-Of-Service operations. Operator can enable or disable the Out-Of-Service condition on MEP. When
enabled, LCK frames are transmitted to the client-layer MEP in the direction opposite to the peer MEP.
On reception of LCK frames, the client-layer MEP suppresses its fault alarms, which may have been
triggered by the administrative locking of data-traffic at lower-level MEP.
LCK frame can be multicast or unicast.
2.7.1.6 Test Signal (TST)
Aricent ECFM uses the TST (Test Signal) to perform one-way In-Service or Out-Of-Service diagnostics
tests or for verifying bandwidth throughput. Once the Test-Signal operation is initiated, TST frames are
transmitted to the peer MEP. On reception of TST frames, the MEP checks the TST frames for bit errors
and updates the relevant counters to be examined by the operator.
TST frame can be multicast or unicast.
2.7.1.7 Maintenance Communication Channel (MCC)
Aricent ECFM uses the MCC (Maintenance Communication Channel) to support remote management
between a pair of MEPs. On initiation, MCC frames are sent to the peer MEP. The received information in
MCC frame is provided to the registered application.
2.7.1.8 Experimental OAM (EXP)
Aricent ECFM uses the EXP (Experimental OAM) to support Experimental OAM functionalities within an
administrative domain. On initiation, EXP frame is sent to the peer MEP, which in turn can respond with
an EXR (Experimental OAM Reply) frame. The received information in EXP or EXR frame is provided to
the registered application.
2.7.1.9 Vendor Specific OAM (VSP)
Aricent ECFM uses the VSP (Vendor Specific OAM) to support proprietary vendor specific functionalities
within an administrative domain. On initiation, VSP frame is sent to the peer MEP, which in turn can
respond with a VSR (Vendor Specific OAM Reply) frame. The received information in VSP or VSR frame
is provided to the registered application.
2.7.2 Performance Monitoring
Performance monitoring is necessary to detect potential faults and to pro-actively notify an operator or
peer network nodes. Such notification can further be used for protecting traffic and ensuring service
availability and service level agreements. Frame Loss Measurement, Frame Delay Measurement and
Throughput Measurement together constitute performance monitoring
2.7.2.1 Frame Loss Measurement
Aricent ECFM uses the frame loss measurement function to get the value of Frame Loss Ratio; it is
expressed as the percentage of the number of service frames lost divided by the total number of service
frames transmitted.
Frame Loss Ratio = (Number of service frames lost)/ (Total number of service frames transmitted)
Service frames include data-frames and higher layer OAM PDUs.
Loss Measurement is performed by sending frames with ETH-LM information to the peer MEP and by
receiving frames with ETH-LM information from the peer MEP.
Frame Loss Measurement can be performed in following two ways:
• Dual-Ended ETH-LM, using CCM frame with ETH-LM information.
• Single-Ended ETH-LM, using LMM (Loss Measurement Message) and LMR (Loss Measurement
Reply) frame.

ECFM
2.7.2.2 Frame Delay Measurement
Aricent ECFM uses the frame delay measurement function to get the Frame Delay Value; it is expressed
as the time elapsed since the start of transmission of first bit of the frame by the source until the reception
of the last bit by the destination.
These Measurements are performed by sending periodic frames with ETH-DM information to the peer
MEP and by receiving frames with ETH-DM information from the peer MEP.
Frame Delay Measurement can be performed in following ways:
• One-Way DM, using 1DM frame.
• Two-Way DM, using DMM (Delay Measurement Message) and DMR (Delay Measurement Reply)
frame.
2.7.2.3 Frame Delay Variation Measurement
Aricent ECFM uses the frame delay variation measurement function to get IPDV (Inter-Packet Delay
Variation) and PDV (Packet Delay Variation) values. These Measurements are determined by analyzing
the Frame Delay values taken from Frame Delay Rolling Buffer.
2.7.2.4 Through Measurement
Aricent ECFM uses the throughput measurement function to get throughput value in units of bps (bits per
second); it is expressed as the maximum rate in bps at which none of the offered frames are dropped by
the device.
These measurements are performed by sending periodic ETH-LB or ETH-TST bursts to the peer MEP
and receiving ETH-LB and ETH-TST frames from the peer MEP.
Throughput Measurement can be performed in the following ways.
• One-Way TH, using ETH-TST.
• Two-Way TH, using ETH-LB.

3.3.4.1.1 Explicit MIP Creation
Explicit MIP can be configured in two ways:

• MIP associated with an MA
• MIP associated with Default Domain

ECFM
MIP associated with an MA

Pre-requisites:
1. MA must be configured at same MD level and VLAN at which MIP is to be configured.
2. At least a single Up direction MEP must be configured and associated with MA. Refer IEEE Standard
P802.1ag/D8 Section 22.2.3 (k).

iss(config-ether-ecfm)# service name CustAssoc1 vlan 101 mip-creation-criteria defer
4. Entert the interface configuration mode and configure an MIP at specified maintenance level and
VLAN on an interface.
iss(config)# interface gigabitethernet 0/2
iss(config-if)#ethernet cfm mip level 7 vlan 101
MIP associated with Default Domain
Pre-requisites:
1. No MA must be configured at same MD level and VLAN along with an Up direction MEP.
2. Entry in the Default MD table should be present for the same MD level and VLAN or Default MD
default level should be configured. Refer IEEE Standard P802.1ag/D8 Section 12.14.3.1.3 (b).
3. MIP creation criteria parameter should be configured for Default Domain. Refer IEEE Standard
P802.1ag/D8 Section 22.2.3 (m).
Configuration steps:
• Set the parameters such as MD level and MIP creation criteria required for MIP creation for a VLAN
iss(config)# ethernet cfm default-domain vlan 101 level 7 mip-creation-criteria default

iss(config-if)#ethernet cfm mip level 7 vlan 101 active

3.3.4.1.2 Implicit MIP Creation
Implicit MIP can be configured when:

• The bridge is initialized.
• MEP is created or deleted on VLAN x on a bridge port.
• A change occurs in the default MD managed object.
• A change occurs in MA associated with VLAN(s).
Managed objects that affect the MIP creation are MA, Default MD, Default Default MD and MEP.
Table 3-2: Port and VLAN Eligibility Criteria

Condition Eligible Port(s) and VLAN(s)
Port - Ports that are not a part of port channel.
VLAN(s) - VLAN(s) which are created in the system and are associated

MIP creation evaluation process
At a particular port, single MIP can be configured for a VLAN at the highest MD level only.

ECFM
For a particular port p and VLAN x (refer the Table 3-2), MIP creation is evaluated as follows:
1. Determine eligible MD levels for VLAN x based on:
• The MD level of each of the MA that includes VLAN x.
• The Default MD level corresponding to VLAN x.
2. Determine, from the eligible MD levels, a lowest MD level d which satisfies the following condition:
• There is no MP configured on the bridge port p and VLAN x at MD level d or MD level greater than
d.
3. Check the MIP creation criteria (refer Table 3-1) to determine whether an MIP is to be created or not.
MIP creation criteria is taken from:

• MA, if there exists an MA that includes VLAN x and has at least one Up MEP configured on some

iss#
The above mentioned steps are only for initiating the loopback message. User may
not get the same output. To get the same output, target entity also needs to be
configured.
• For sending Loopback messages to a MEP destination using MEPID.

Example: ping ethernet mpid 101 level 7 vlan 101 count 3
• Mac Address of the MEP with specified target “mpid” must be learned prior to the execution
of the command.
• For a VLAN-UnAware MEP, vlan keyword must not be provided with the command.
• In ECFM, “count”, if not provided, number of loopback messages to send is considered as
one.
• In case Y.1731 is enabled,
1. “count” and “deadline” keyword, if not provided, assumes infinite number of
loopback messages to send.
2. If user does not provide target MPID and MAC Address, it will be treated as multicast
loopback messages.
3. MEP at specified level and VLAN must be enabled for a loopback transaction. The
loopback (ping) capability can be enabled using either set params capability enable
ping (runs in ECFM MEP configuration mode) or ethernet cfm mep-capability enable
level vlan ping (runs in Global Configuration mode)command.
Example:
iss(config-ether-mep)# set params capability enable ping
iss(config)# ethernet cfm mep-capability enable level 7 vlan 101 ping

Figure 5-1: Configuration of ECFM on Customer Bridges

MAC Address of ports on the bridges are of form 00:0m:02:03:04:0n, where m is bridge number and n is
the port number for that bridge in this sample topology.
Figure 5-1 depicts that Maintenance Points (MIP, MEP) are configured on various bridges at same MD
Level and VLAN MEPs are configured on CUST1 and CUST3 and an MIP is configured on CUST2.
Connectivity is checked between CUST1 CUST2, and CUST3 through Continuity Check Protocol. A Link
failure is intentionally incorporated at P2 of CUST3. Loopback and Linktrace protocols are then used for
isolation and verification of the same. Frame Delay and Frame Loss protocols are used for performance
monitoring.

MAC Address of ports on the bridges are of form 00:0m:02:03:04:0n, where m is bridge number and n is
Figure 5-2 depicts a topology for a Provider bridged network consists of two customer bridges (Switch1,
Switch5), two provider edge bridges (Switch2, Switch6), and four provider core bridges (Switch3, Switch4,
Switch7, Switch8). Maintenance Points (MEP/MIP) are configured at same MD Level and VLAN shown by
the a color code, at same type of the bridges. For an example blue color represents MEPs are configured
at Level 7 and VLAN 2 at customer bridges (Switch1 and Switch5).
Connectivity is checked between all the bridges (Switch1 to Switch 8) through Continuity Check Protocol.
A Link failure is intentionally incorporated at P2 of Switch 5. Loopback and Linktrace protocols are then
used for verification and isolation respectively.AIS and LCK are used for fault suppression.
Connectivity at customer bridges is provided through two Provided Edge bridges and four Provider Core
bridges. Service is provided to Customer through the Provider Network and to Provider Network through
the Provider Core Network. Service is provided through configuration of CFM entities at respective MD
Level on customer and provider bridges.

Figure 5-3: Configuration of ECFM on Provider Backbone bridges

MAC address of ports on the bridges are of form 00:0m:02:03:04:0n, where m is bridge number and n is

Figure 5-3 depicts a topology for a provider backbone bridged network that consists of two customer
bridges (Switch1, Switch6), two I-component bridges (Switch2, Switch5), and two B-component bridges
(Switch3, Switch4). Switches 1 to 6 refer to six virtual contexts of the switch. Maintenance points
(MEP/MIP) are configured at same MD Level, and VLANs are shown by the color code. Port P1, P17, P26
and P42 are configured as PNP (Provider Network Port). P10 and P33 are configured as CNP (Customer
Network Port). P9 is configured as PIP (Provider Instance Port). P18 is configured as CBP (Customer
Bridge Port). In addition, there is an internal LAN between Switch4 and Switch5.
Connectivity is checked between all the bridges (Switch1 to Switch6) through continuity check protocol. A
link failure is intentionally incorporated at P9 of Switch2. Due to this link failure, errors will be detected at
Switch1 and Switch6.

• User can stop the frame delay measurement by either:

• configuring the count or deadline parameter while initiating the delay measurement.
OR
• using the ethernet cfm frame delay stop type level service-instance command.
5.4.14.1.2 SNMP Configurations
• Send the One-way frame delay message to an MEP [Index: ContextID = 2, MD-Index = 1, MA-Index =
1, MEP-ID = 1].
% snmp0 set {{fsMIY1731MepTransmitDmType.2.1.1.1 oneWay}}
• Send the Two-way frame delay message to an MEP [Index: ContextID = 2, MD-Index = 1, MA-Index =
1, MEP-ID = 1].

• Configuring the number of messages or deadline parameter while initiating the delay
measurement. [Index: ContextID = 2, MD-Index = 1, MA-Index = 1, MEP-Index = 1]

OR
• Configuring the transmit status as stop [Index: ContextID = 2, MD-Index = 1, MA-Index = 1,
MEP-Index = 1].
% snmp0 set {{fsMIY1731MepTransmitDmStatus.2.1.1.1 stop}}
5.4.14.2 Configuring Frame Loss Measurement
This section describes the steps to configure and enable the transmission and reception of frame loss
PDU by an MEP.
Frame loss can be measured using either one of the following methods:
1. Dual-ended using CCM messages
2. Single-ended using LMM/LMR messages

ECFM
• Single-ended frame loss

• Send the message to an MEP using destination MPID.
iss# ethernet cfm frame loss start level 6 service-instance 300 mpid 4 switch Switch2
• User can stop the frame loss measurement by either
• configuring the count or deadline parameter while initiating the loss measurement,
OR
• using the ethernet cfm frame loss stop level vlan command.
• Dual-ended frame loss

• Configure the CC unicast MAC address. This is the MAC address of the remote MEP with which the
frame loss is to be measured.
iss(config-ether-mep)# set ccm- mac unicast 00:02:02:03:04:03
iss(config-switch)# ethernet cfm cc level 6 service-instance 300 role performance-monitoring
iss(config)# end
• Stop dual-ended frame loss measurement either by

• Disabling CC transmission
iss(config-switch)# no ethernet cfm cc enable level 6 service-instance 300
iss(config)# end
OR
• Changing the CC role to role other than performance monitoring
iss(config-switch)# ethernet cfm cc level 6 service-instance 300 role fault-management
iss(config)# end

• Single-ended frame loss

• Send the message to an MEP using destination MAC address [Index: ContextID = 2, MD-Index = 1,
MA-Index = 1, MEP-ID = 1].
• Stop the frame loss measurement [Index: ContextID = 2, MD-Index = 1, MA-Index = 1, MEP-ID = 1]
% snmp0 set {{fsMIY1731MepTransmitLmmStatus.2.1.1.1 stop}}
• Send the message to measure frame loss by setting the role as performance-monitoring [Index:
% snmp0 set {{fsMIY1731MeCcmApplication.2.1.1 ccPerformanceMonitoring}}
• Stop dual-ended frame loss measurement by setting role other than performance-monitoring [Index:
% snmp0 set {{fsMIY1731MeCcmApplication.2.1.1 ccFaultManagement}}

This section describes the steps to configure and enable the throughput measurement at an MEP.
Throughput can be measured using one of the following methods:
1. One-way Throughput Measurement
2. Two-way Throughput Measurement
• Start the one-way throughput measurement at an MEP using destination MPID.

iss# ethernet cfm throughput type one-way mpid 4 level 6 service-instance 300 switch Switch2
--- 4 one-way throughput statistics ---
final throughput 1197599 bps / 1.197599 mbps, packet size 1496 bytes

ECFM
• Start the two-way throughput measurement at an MEP using destination MPID.

iss# ethernet cfm throughput type two-way mpid 4 level 6 service-instance 300 switch Switch2
--- 4 two-way throughput statistics ---
final throughput 1197599 bps / 1.197599 mbps, packet size 1496 bytes
The above mentioned steps are only for initiating the throughput transaction. The
user may not get the same output. To get the same output, target entity also needs to
be configured.
• Start the one-way throughput measurement at an MEP using destination MAC address. [Index:
ContextID = 2, MD-Index = 1, MA-Index = 1, MEP-ID = 1].
% snmp0 set {{fsMIY1731MepTransmitThDestMacAddress.2.1.1.1 00:01:02:03:04:24}}
% snmp0 set {{fsMIY1731MepTransmitThPps.2.1.1.1 100}}
