CFM Overview
Family of protocols that provides capabilities to detect, verify, isolate and report end-to-end ethernet connectivity faults Employs regular Ethernet frames that travel in-band with the customer traffic
Devices that cannot interpret CFM Messages forward them as normal data frames

CFM Overview (Cont.)

Key CFM mechanisms include:
Nested Maintenance Domains (MDs) that break up the responsibilities for network administration of a given end-to-end service Maintenance Associations (MAs) that monitor service instances under a given MD Maintenance Points (MPs) that generate and respond to CFM PDUs Protocols (Continuity Check, Loopback and Linktrace) used for Fault Management activities

CFM Concepts
Maintenance Domain (MD)
CE CE
Operator A Service Provider Customer
Operator B
Defined by Operational/Contractual Boundaries

e.g. Customer/Service Provider/Operator
MD may nest and touch, but never intersect Up to eight levels of nesting: MD Level (0..7)
The higher the level, the broader its reach
19
CFM Concepts
Maintenance Association (MA)
Monitors connectivity of a particular service instance in a given MD (e.g. one service traversing four MDs = four MAs) Defined by a set of Maintenance End Points (MEP) at the edge of a domain Identified by MAID == Short MA Name + MD Name

31
CFM Protocols
Putting Everything Together 1. Run Connectivity Check to proactively detect a soft or hard failure 2. Upon a failure detection, use Loopback to verify it 3. Upon verification, run Traceroute to isolate it; multiple segment LPs can also be used to isolate the fault 4. If the isolated fault points to a virtual circuit, then the OAM tools for that technology can be used to further fault isolatione.g., for MPLS PW, VCCV and MPLS ping can be used

Operator A Edge Bridge Operator B Edge Router ATM Switch ATM Switch
Strict OAM layering should be honored: messages should not cross layers
Customer Bridge
BRKOPT-2114 14366_04_2008_c1
OAM Messages should not leak outside domain boundaries within a layer Interworking may be inter-layer and intra-layer Event Translation

In-Band Performance Management Tool for Ethernet
Use native Ethernet frames IP not required
Built over CFM

Use Ethernet CFM frames to collect statistics Probes performed in context of a VLAN and a CFM Maintenance Domain CFM MEPs define probe endpoints
Automatic Discovery of Probe Endpoints

Rely on CFM Continuity Check Database (CCDB) to automatically discover Probe Endpoints EVC and Maintenance Domain based Support static probes and exclusions
