Benefits of ITU-T Y.1731 Performance Monitoring
Combined with IEEE-compliant connectivity fault management (CFM), Y.1731 performance monitoring
provides a comprehensive fault management and performance monitoring solution for service providers. This
comprehensive solution in turn lessens service providers’ operating expenses, improves their service-level
agreements (SLAs), and simplifies their operations.
How to Configure ITU-T Y.1731 Performance Monitoring in a
Service Provider Network
Configuring Performance Monitoring Parameters
The following new commands were introduced that can be used to configure and display performance
monitoring parameters: debug ethernet cfm pm, monitor loss counters, and show ethernet cfm pm.
For more information about CFM and Y.1731 performance monitoring commands, see the Cisco IOS Carrier
Ethernet Command Reference. For more information about debug commands, see the Cisco IOS Debug
Command Reference.
