3.10.1 Configuring ETH-CFM with CLI
This section provides information to configure global ETH-CFM parameters using the 
Command Line Interface (CLI).
Topics in this section include:
• Create a Maintenance Domain
• Create a Maintenance Association
3.10.1.1 Create a Maintenance Domain
The first step in enabling CFM is to create the MD. Each MD created in the system 
has an index, a name, and an MD level. When defining an MD in a system, the level 
of the MD must be specified. One MD can contain one or more Maintenance 
Associations (MAs). All MAs that belong to the same MD have the same MD level.
Use the following CLI syntax to create a Maintenance Domain.
configure>eth-cfm# info
----------------------------------------------
domain 10 format none level 0
exit
3.10.1.2 Create a Maintenance Association
After the MD has been created, the MA can be created under the MD. Three items 
must be explicitly configured in the MA definition:
• MA Name:
The MAID is formed by the MA name and the MD level.
• Bridge Identification:
The identification of the service in which the MA is deployed
• Remote MEP ID:
The list of IDs for all remote MEPs that belong to this MA.
Use the following CLI Syntax to create a Maintenance Association
config>eth-cfm# info
----------------------------------------------
domain 10 format none level 0
association 1 format string name "vpls5"
bridge-identifier 10
remote-mepid 1
exit
exit
