Creating and Deleting a Maintenance Association
To create an Ethernet OAM Maintenance Association (MA), use the ethoam association command, by
entering ethoam association, followed by the MA name, the keyword format, the format of the associa-
tion name, the keyword domain, the domain name, the keyword level, the level of the association, the
keyword vlan, and the VLAN ID.
For example, to create the MA alcatel-sales in the esd.alcatel.com domain, you would enter:
-> ethoam association alcatel-sales format string domain esd.alcatel-lucent.com
vlan 10
To remove an MA, use the no form of this command. For example:
-> no ethoam association alcatel-sales domain esd.alcatel-lucent.com
Note that with this implementation of Ethernet OAM, it is only possible to delete an MA when there is no
Maintenance End Point or Intermediate Point associated with the MA.
Modifying a Maintenance Association
To modify the MHF value of an MA, use the ethoam association mhf command, as shown:
-> ethoam association alcatel-sales domain esd.alcatel-lucent.com level level-4
mhf default
To modify the Continuity Check Message (CCM) transmission interval of an Ethernet OAM Management
Association, use the ethoam association ccm-interval command, as shown:
-> ethoam association alcatel-sales domain esd.alcatel-lucent.com ccm-interval
interval10s
To modify the MEP list of an Ethernet OAM Maintenance Association, use the ethoam association
endpoint-list command, as shown:
-> ethoam association alcatel-sales domain esd.alcatel-lucent.com endpoint-list
100-200
To remove the MEP list from an Ethernet OAM Maintenance Association, enter:
-> no ethoam association alcatel-sales domain esd.alcatel-lucent.com endpoint-
list 100-200
Creating and Deleting a Maintenance End Point
To create an Ethernet OAM Maintenance End Point (MEP), use the ethoam endpoint command, by enter-
ing ethoam end-point, the MEP identifier, the keyword domain, the domain name, the keyword associa-
tion, the Maintenance Association name, the keyword direction, the keyword port, followed by the slot
number, a slash (/), and the port number.
For example, to create the MEP 100 in the alcatel-sales Maintenance Association, you would enter:
-> ethoam end-point 100 domain esd.alcatel-lucent.com association alcatel-sales
direction up
To remove an MEP, use the no form of this command. For example:
-> no end-point 100 domain esd.alcatel-lucent.com association alcatel-sales
