CFM Configuration over EFP Interface with Cross Connect Feature

Ethernet Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) is an end-to-end per-service-instance Ethernet layer OAM protocol that includes proactive connectivity monitoring, fault verification, and fault isolation. Currently, Ethernet CFM supports Up facing and Down facing Maintenance Endpoints (MEPs).

For information on Ethernet Connectivity Fault Management, see http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_2sr/12_2sra/feature/guide/srethcfm.html.

The CFM over EFP Interface with xconnect feature allows you to:

  • Forward continuity check messages (CCM) towards the core over cross connect pseudowires.

  • Receive CFM messages from the core.

  • Forward CFM messages to the access side (after Continuity Check Database [CCDB] based on maintenance point [MP] filtering rules).

Restrictions for CFM Configuration over EFP Interface with Cross Connect Feature

RSP2 Module

  • Configuration of CCM sampling rate for the offloaded sessions using offload sampling command is not supported.

  • Parsing multiple organizational-specific Type Length Value (TLV) is not supported.

  • Priority-tagged encapsulation type is not supported.

  • Error-objects are seen on active and standby RSP after reboot when CFM is globally disabled and MIP filter is enabled.

  • CFM Traceroute with (forwarding database) FDB only option is not supported on Up MEP.

  • CFM CC/Ping/Traceroute for Down MEP, CFM Ping/Traceroute for Up MEP use the bypass EAID, so these packets cannot be mirrored in the egress direction. Only Up MEP CFM CC can be mirrored.

  • CFM Traceroute to expired RMEPs are flooded only to port where it was last learned. CFM Traceroute for new RMEPs are not initiated on their own. However ping to both expired and new RMEPs are flooded to all EFPs in the BD.

RSP3 Module

  • L2VPN VC statistics are not supported on the RSP3 module.

Example:

Router(config-if)# service instance 1 Ethernet

Configure an EFP (service instance) and enter service instance configuration) mode.

  • The number is the EFP identifier, an integer from 1 to 4000.

  • (Optional) ethernet name is the name of a previously configured EVC. You do not need to use an EVC name in a service instance.

Step 8

Example:

Router(config-if-srv)# xconnect 10.0.3.201 123 pw-class vlan-xconnect

Example:


Router(config-if-srv)# encapsulation dot1q 20 second-dot1q 30

Configures the encapsulation. Defines the matching criteria that maps the ingress dot1q, QinQ, or untagged frames on an interface for the appropriate service instance.

Step 6

rewrite ingress tag {push {dot1q vlan-id | dot1q vlan-id second-dot1q vlan-id | dot1ad vlan-id dot1q vlan-id} | pop {1 | 2} | translate {1-to-1 {dot1q vlan-id | dot1ad vlan-id}| 2-to-1 dot1q vlan-id | dot1ad vlan-id}| 1-to-2 {dot1q vlan-id second-dot1q vlan-id | dot1ad vlan-id dot1q vlan-id} | 2-to-2 {dot1q vlan-id second-dot1q vlan-id | dot1ad vlan-id dot1q vlan-id}}[symmetric]

Example:


Router(config-if-srv)# rewrite ingress tag pop 2 symmetric

Specifies the tag manipulation that is to be performed on the frame ingress to the service instance.
Step 7

xconnect peer-ip-address vc-id {encapsulation {l2tpv3 [manual] | mpls [ manual]} | pw-class pw-class-name }[pw-class pw-class-name] [sequencing {transmit | receive | both}]

Example:


Router(config)# xconnect 1.1.1.1 100 pw-class vlan-xconnect

Binds an attachment circuit to a pseudowire, and configures an Any Transport over MPLS (AToM) static pseudowire.
Step 8

cfm mep domain domain-name [up|down] mpid mpid-value [cos cos-value]

Example:


Router# cfm mep up mpid 100 domain Core

Configures a maintenance endpoint (MEP) for a domain.

Example for Configuring CFM over EFP Interface with xconnect—Port Channel-Based xconnect Tunnel 


PE3(config)# ethernet cfm domain L2 level 2
PE3(config-ecfm)# service s256 evc 256 direction down
PE3(config-ecfm-srv)# continuity-check
PE3(config-ecfm-srv)# end
PE3#
PE3(config)# int port-20
PE3(config-if)# no ip address
PE3(config-if)# service instance 256 ethernet 256
PE3(config-if-srv)# encapsulation dot1q 256
PE3(config-if-srv)# xconnect 1.1.1.1 1 encapsulation mpls
PE3(cfg-if-ether-vc-xconn)# cfm mep domain L6 mpid 256
PE3(config-if-srv-ecfm-mep)# end

Troubleshooting CFM Features

Provides troubleshooting solutions for the CFM features.

Table 1. Troubleshooting Scenarios for CFM Features

Problem

Solution

When you configure CFM, the message “Match registers are not available” is displayed.

Use the show platform mrm info command on the SP console to verify the match registers. Based on the derived output, perform these tasks:

  1. Check if the line card supports the CFM feature.

  2. Enable CFM across the system to allow co-existence with other protocols.

  3. Ensure that no CFM traffic is present in any supervisor or ports.

  4. Configure STP mode to Multiple Spanning Tree (MST) and re-enable CFM or disable CFM completely.

For more information on match registers, see Ethernet Connectivity Fault Management at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_2sr/12_2sra/feature/guide/srethcfm.html.

CFM uses two match registers to identify the control packet type and each VLAN spanning tree also uses a match register to identify its control packet type. For both protocols to work on the same system, each line card should support three match registers, and at least one supporting only a 44 bit MAC match.

CFM configuration errors

CFM configuration error occurs when when a MEP receives a continuity check with an overlapping MPID. To verify the source of the error, use the command show ethernet cfm errors configuration or show ethernet cfm errors .

CFM ping and traceroute result is "not found"

Complete these steps:

  1. Use show run | i ethernet cfm to view all CFM global configurations.

  2. Use show ethernet cfm statistics to view local MEPs and their CCM statistics

  3. Use show ethernet cfm peer meps command to View CFM CCM received from Peer MEPs.

  4. Use trace ethernet cfm command to start a CFM trace.

CFM connectivity is down and issues at the maintenance domain levels

Use the ping ethernet {mac-address | mpid id | multicast} domain domain-name { vlan vlan-id | port | evc evc-name} or the traceroute ethernet {mac-address | mpid id } domain domain-name { vlan vlan-id | port | evc evc-name} commands to verify ethernet CFM connectivity. Share the output with TAC for further investigation.

Note 

CFM multicast ping with packet size greater than 1460 is not supported.

Loop trap error

Use the show ethernet cfm error command to check for Loop Trap errors as shown here: 


CE(config-if)#do sh ethernet cfm err
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Level Vlan MPID Remote MAC     Reason               Service ID
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5     711  550  1001.1001.1001 Loop Trap Error      OUT
PE#sh ethernet cfm err
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Level Vlan MPID Remote MAC     Reason               Service ID
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5     711  550  1001.1001.1001 Loop Trap Error      OUT

Module has insufficient match registers

Complete these steps:

  1. Verify and confirm if a unsupported line card is inserted into the router.

  2. If yes, perform an OIR of the unsupported line card.

CFM is deactivated

Complete these steps:

  1. Check if all the line cards have free match reagisters.

  2. Check if CFM is activated on supervisor cards. CFM is not supported on supervisor cards that has two match registers. In this scenario, CFM is automatically disabled on the SUP ports and enabled on the remaining line cards.

ethernet cfm logging

In a scale scenario, you configure either the console logging rate-limiting using logging rate-limit or using logging buffered instead of using logging console . The suggested rate-limit is around 30 messages per second.
