Example: Configuring One-Way Ethernet Frame Delay Measurements with Single-Tagged Interfaces
This example uses two MX Series routers: MX-1 and MX-2. The configuration creates a CFM down MEP session on a VLAN-tagged logical interface connecting the two (ge-5/2/9 on Router MX-1 and ge-0/2/5 on Router MX-2).

Configuration on Router MX-1:
Configuration on Router MX-2:
From Router MX-2, start a one-way delay measurement to Router MX-1.

This is because one-way delay measurement requires the timing for the two systems to be synchronized at a very granular level and MX Series routers do not support this granular synchronization. However, two-way delay measurement does not require synchronized timing, making two-way delay measurements more accurate. |
