Configuring Y.1731
Configuring Y.1731
Note Y.1731 is enabled by default.
These sections are included:
• Y.1731 Configuration Guidelines, page 76-4
• Configuring AIS Parameters, page 76-4
• Clearing MEP from the AIS Defect Condition, page 76-5
• Clearing SMEP from the AIS Defect Condition, page 76-5
Y.1731 Configuration Guidelines
Configuration guidelines and restrictions for Y.1731 include the following:
• Because of STP’s restoration capability, do not expect ETH-AIS to be applied in the STP
environments.
• AIS is enabled by default on a CFM maintenance domain. The following section illustrates the
commands you can use to disable AIS on a maintenance domain. Likewise, RDI is a flag bit in the
CC message. Provided CC transmission is enabled, the present RDI flag of the CC message is set to
true or false.
