4.4.4 Using Spoke SDP Control Words
When control word is enabled, the Admin Control Word is set to Preferred. It is 
necessary that both sides of the VLL have control word enabled or disabled for the 
pipe to be up.
The control word state will be set to True or False depending on what is configured 
on both sides of the VLL, either enabled (True) or disabled (False). When both sides 
are enabled (True) then the state is True. If one side is enabled (True) but the other 
side is disabled (False), then the state is False. 
Note that VCCV ping is a multi-segment pseudowire. For a single-hop pseudowire, 
only the peer VCCV CC bit of the control word is advertised when the control word is 
enabled on the pseudowire. VCCV ping on multi-segment pseudowires require that 
the control word be enabled in all segments of the VLL.
If the control word is not enabled on spoke SDP it will not be signaled peer VCCV CC 
bits to the far end, consequently VCCV ping cannot be successfully initiated on that 
specific spoke SDP. 
The following displays a spoke SDP control word configuration example:
*A:ALA-Dut-B>configure>service>epipe# info
----------------------------------------------
description "Default epipe description for service id 2100"
sap lt:1/1/1:4 create
description "Default sap description for service id 2100"
exit
spoke-sdp 1:2001 create
control-word
exit
no shutdown
----------------------------------------------
*A:ALA-Dut-B>configure>service>epipe#
To disable the control word on spoke-sdp 1:2001, use the no control-word 
command.
*A:ALA-Dut-B>configure>service>epipe# info
----------------------------------------------
description "Default epipe description for service id 2100"
sap lt:1/1/1:4create
