Configuring IP SLAs Metro-Ethernet 3.0 (ITU-T Y.1731) Operations

This module describes how to configure an IP SLAs Metro-Ethernet 3.0 (ITU-T Y.1731) operation to gather the following performance measurements for Ethernet service:

  • Ethernet Delay

  • Ethernet Delay Variation

  • Ethernet Frame Loss Ratio

Prerequisites for ITU-T Y.1731 Operations

IEEE-compliant Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) must be configured and enabled for Y.1731 performance monitoring to function.

Note

Y1731 is supported on Port Channel interfaces.

Restrictions for IP SLAs Metro-Ethernet 3.0 (ITU-T Y.1731)

  • SNMP is not supported for reporting threshold events or collecting performance statistics for IP SLAs Metro-Ethernet 3.0 (ITU-T Y.1731) operations.

    SNMP is partially supported; the results for DM/LM can be polled for some attributes. However MIB support for all parameters is not supported.

  • Continuity Check Message (CCM)-based dual-ended Ethernet frame loss operations are not supported.

  • In a single-ended Ethernet operation, performance measurement statistics can be retrieved only at the device on which the sender Ethernet Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) Maintenance End Point (MEP) is configured.

  • To avoid losing the CoS value configured on the frames, do not configure rewrite on the EFPs throughout the Layer2 circuit. The CoS value is preserved, if the Y.1731 frames are marked with specific CoS value.

  • CFM over cross-connect on the routers works only if the control-word is configured. To start DM timestamping, switch ON the control-word if the remote end is not switched ON.

  • To avoid errors in RX and TX timestamping, ensure to have Y1731 sender as PTP master, and the Y1731 responder as PTP slave.

  • Reconfigure IP SLA Y1731 while doing online insertion removal (OIR) of IM or router reload because local MEP is deleted during the course.

  • A delay may be observed after issuing the ip sla schedule command after a reload of the router is performed, to populate with the Y.1731 PM measurements.

  • The dot1q tag contains class of service (CoS) bits, which are used by IPSLA Y.1731 PM session to test delay or loss of packets with a specific CoS. This CoS cannot be a non-zero value when using EPM over untagged EFPs.

How to Configure IP SLAs Metro-Ethernet 3.0 (ITU-T Y.1731) Operations

Configuring a Dual-Ended Ethernet Delay or Delay Variation Operation

Perform the tasks for configuring a dual-ended operation in the order presented.


Note

To remove the MEP configurations in an already-configured dual-ended operation, always remove the MEPs in the reverse order in which they were configured. That is, remove the scheduler first, then the threshold monitoring configuration, and then the sender MEP configuration on the source device before removing the scheduler, proactive threshold monitoring, and receiver MEP configuration on the destination device.

Configuring a Receiver MEP on the Destination Device

Before you begin

Time synchronization is required between the source and destination devices in order to provide accurate one-way delay (latency) or delay-variation measurements. Configure either Precision Time Protocol (PTP) or Network Time Protocol (NTP) on both the source and destination devices.
