Modifying a Maintenance Domain
To modify the MHF value of an MD, use the ethoam domain mhf command, as shown:
-> ethoam domain esd.ale.com mhf explicit
To modify the default Ethernet OAM Maintenance Domain, use the ethoam default-domain level
command, as shown:
-> ethoam default-domain vlan 100 level 4 mhf none
Configuring a Maintenance Association
To create an Ethernet OAM Maintenance Association (MA), use the ethoam association command. For
example, to create the MA ale-sales in the esd.ale.com domain, enter:
-> ethoam association ale-sales format string domain esd.ale.com primary-vlan 10
To remove an MA, use the no form of this command. For example:
-> no ethoam association ale-sales domain esd.ale.com
Note that with this implementation of Ethernet OAM, it is only possible to delete an MA when there is no
Maintenance End Point (MEP) or Maintenance Intermediate Point (MIP) associated with the MA.
Configuring Maintenance Association Attributes
The MIP Half Function (MHF), Continuity Check Message (CCM) interval, and MEP list are configurable
attributes of a Maintenance Association.
By default, the MHF value is set to defer. To modify this value for an MA, use the ethoam association
mhf command. For example:
-> ethoam association ale-sales domain esd.ale.com mhf default
By default, the CCM interval is set to 10 seconds. To modify this value for an MA, use the ethoam
association ccm-interval command:
-> ethoam association ale-sales domain esd.ale.com ccm-interval interval1m
To modify the MEP list of an MA, use the ethoam association endpoint-list command, as shown:
-> ethoam association ale-sales domain esd.ale.com endpoint-list 100-200
To remove the MEP list from an Ethernet OAM Maintenance Association, enter:
-> no ethoam association ale-sales domain esd.ale.com endpoint-list 100-200
Note. The no form of this command restores the default Ethernet OAM Maintenance Domain value.
