CHAPTER 9
CFM Configuration over EFP Interface with Cross
Connect Feature
Ethernet Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) is an end-to-end per-service-instance Ethernet layer OAM
protocol that includes proactive connectivity monitoring, fault verification, and fault isolation. Currently,
Ethernet CFM supports Up facing and Down facing Maintenance Endpoints (MEPs). For information on
Ethernet Connectivity Fault Management, see http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_2sr/12_2sra/feature/
guide/srethcfm.html
The CFM over EFP Interface with xconnect feature allows you to:
•
Forward continuity check messages (CCM) towards the core over cross connect pseudowires.
•
Receive CFM messages from the core.
•
Forward CFM messages to the access side (after Continuity Check Database [CCDB] based on
maintenance point [MP] filtering rules).
