Ethernet CFM over VPLS

In this example, both the customer and service provider are running Ethernet CFM over a VPLS and a multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) network. The network is shown in Figure 10. The customer has configured Ethernet CFM on MX-series routers L2-CE1 and L2-CE2. The service provider has configured Ethernet CFM on MX-series routers PE1, P, and PE2.

The service provider is using CFM level 5 and the customer is using CFM level 7. The boundaries are marked with “up mep” and “down mep” CFM terminology in the figure.

The following are the configurations of the VPLS and CFM on the service provider routers.
