This chapter includes Pseudowire (PW) Status configuration examples. This feature specifies a mechanism to signal Pseudowire (PW) status messages using a PW associated channel (ACh), which is suitable for static PWs where no PW dynamic control plane exits. You can also use this feature when a Terminating Provider Edge (T-PE) needs to send a PW status message directly to a far-end T-PE. This feature allows PW Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) message mapping and PW redundancy to operate on a static PW.

This configuration section includes information on the configuration of PW status for statically configured end-to-end MPLS PWs and MPLS-TP PWs.
