Cisco ASR 920 series Configuration Guide Ethernet Router

Both up MEP, down MEP and MIP are supported. If an up MEP is configured under an EFP within a bridge
domain, CFM messages would be routed into the bridge, and the rest members of the same bridge domain
would be able to receive messages from this MEP. If a down MEP is configured, the messages will not goes
into the bridge domain.
How to Set Up Ethernet CFM in a Service Provider Network
Designing CFM Domains
To have an operator, service provider, or customer domain is optional. A network may have a single
domain or multiple domains. The steps listed here show the sequence when all three types of domains
will be assigned.
Note
Before You Begin
•
Knowledge and understanding of the network topology.
•
Understanding of organizational entities involved in managing the network; for example, operators,
service providers, network operations centers (NOCs), and customer service centers.
•
Understanding of the type and scale of services to be offered.
•
Agreement by all organizational entities on the responsibilities, roles, and restrictions for each
organizational entity.
•
Determination of the number of maintenance domains in the network.
•
Determination of the nesting and disjoint maintenance domains.
•
Assignment of maintenance levels and names to domains based on agreement between the service
provider and operator or operators.
•
Determination of whether the domain should be inward or outward.
