Ethernet CFM Configurations
This chapter contains examples of Ethernet Operations and Management (OAM) configurations using the Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) protocol.
Connectivity Fault Management detects, verifies, isolates and notifies connectivity failures on a Virtual Bridged LAN (B- VLAN) based on the protocol standard specified in IEEE 802.1ag 2007. It provides discovery and verification of paths through 802.1 bridges and LANs and is part of the Operation, Administration and Management (OAM) module. CFM is transparent to customer data being transported by a network and is capable of providing maximum fault management.
