COMMAND USAGE
â—† CCMs are multicast periodically by a MEP in order to discover other
MEPs in the same MA, and to assure connectivity to all other MEPs/MIPs
in the MA.
â—† Each CCM received is checked to verify that the MEP identifier field sent
in the message does not match its own MEPID, which would indicate a
duplicate MEP or network loop. If these error types are not found, the
CCM is stored in the MEP’s local database until aged out.
â—† If a maintenance point fails to receive three consecutive CCMs from any
other MEP in the same MA, a connectivity failure is registered.
â—† If a maintenance point receives a CCM with an invalid MEPID or MA
level or an MA level lower than its own, a failure is registered which
indicates a configuration error or cross-connect error (i.e., overlapping
MAs).
