Configuring a Maintenance End Point
To configure the administrative state of a MEP, use the ethoam endpoint admin-state command, as
shown:
-> ethoam end-point 100 domain esd.alcatel-lucent.com association alcatel-sales
admin-state enable
To configure the MEP to generate Continuity Check Messages, use the ethoam endpoint ccm command,
as shown:
-> ethoam end-point 100 domain esd.alcatel-lucent.com association alcatel-sales
ccm enable
To configure the priority values for Continuity Check Messages and Linktrace Messages transmitted by a
MEP, use the ethoam endpoint priority command, as shown:
-> ethoam end-point 100 domain esd.alcatel-lucent.com association alcatel-sales
priority 6
To configure the lowest priority fault alarm for the lowest priority defect for a MEP, use the ethoam
endpoint lowest-priority-defect command, as shown:
-> ethoam end-point 100 domain esd.alcatel-lucent.com association alcatel-sales
lowest-priority-defect all-defect
Configuring Loopback
To initiate transmitting Loopback messages (LBMs) and obtaining Loopback replies (LBRs), use the
ethoam loopback command by entering ethoam loopback, the MAC address, the keyword end-point,
the MEP identifier, the keyword domain, the domain name, the keyword association, the Maintenance
Association name, the keyword number, the number of messages, the keyword priority, the priority
value, the keyword drop-eligible, and the drop enable bit value. For example:
-> ethoam loopback 10:aa:ac:12:12:ad end-point 4 domain esd.alcatel-lucent.com
association alcatel-sales number 10 priority 4 drop-eligible true
Configuring Linktrace
To initiate transmitting Linktrace messages (LTMs), use the ethoam linktrace command by entering
ethoam linktrace, the MAC address, the keyword end-point, the MEP identifier, the keyword domain,
the domain name, the keyword association, the Maintenance Association name, the keyword flag,
followed by hwonly, the keyword hop-count, and the number of hops. For example:
-> ethoam linktrace 10:aa:ac:12:12:ad end-point 4 domain esd.alcatel-lucent.com
association alcatel_sales flag hwonly hop-count 32
