Configuration procedure 
To configure CC on a MEP: 
 
Ste
 Command
Remarks
1.  Enter system view. 
system-view  N/A 
2.  Configure the interval field 
value in the CCM messages 
sent by MEPs. 
cfd cc interval interval-value 
service-instance instance-id 
Optional. 
By default, the interval field value is 4. 
3.  Enter Layer 2 Ethernet interface 
view. 
interface interface-type 
interface-number 
N/A 
4.  Enable CCM sending on a 
MEP. 
cfd cc service-instance 
instance-id mep mep-id 
enable 
By default, CCM sending on a MEP is 
disabled. 
 
Configuring LB on MEPs 
The LB function can verify the link state between the local MEP and the remote MEP or MIP. 
To configure LB on a MEP: 
 
Task Command
Remarks 
Enable LB. 
cfd loopback service-instance 
instance-id mep mep-id 
{ target-mep target-mep-id | 
target-mac mac-address } [ number 
number ] 
By default, LB is disabled. 
Available in any view.  
 
Configuring LT on MEPs 
LT can trace the path between the source and target MEPs, and can also locate link faults by sending LT 
messages automatically. The two functions are implemented in the following way: 
•  To implement the first function, the source MEP first sends LTM messages to the target MEP. Based 
on the LTR messages in response to the LTM messages, the path between the two MEPs can be 
identified.  
•  In the latter case, after LT messages automatic sending is enabled, if the source MEP fails to receive 
the CCM frames from the target MEP within 3.5 times the transmission interval, the link between the 
two is considered faulty. LTM frames will be sent out with the target MEP as the destination and the
