Ethernet LFM for CCC

In this example, LFM is configured between two PEs (PE1 and PE2) connected using CCC. With LFM in place, a link fault will be detected immediately, instead of depending on routing protocols to find the fault on end-to-end CCC connection. This also helps in detecting the exact failed link instead of only finding that the end-to-end CCC connectivity has failed. Also, because LFM runs at the link-layer level, it does not need a IP address to operate and so can be used where bidirectional fault detection (BFD) cannot. The links running LFM are shown in Figure 14.

PE1 Router

Configure LFM on the PE1 router with CCC:

[edit]
interfaces ge-1/1/0 {
encapsulation ethernet-ccc;
unit 0;
}
protocols {
oam {
ethernet {
link-fault-management {
interface ge-1/1/0 {
pdu-interval 1000;
pdu-threshold 5;
}
}
}
}
}

PE2 Router

Configure LFM on the PE2 router with CCC:

[edit]
interfaces ge-1/0/0 {
encapsulation ethernet-ccc;
unit 0;
}
protocols {
oam {
ethernet {
link-fault-management {
interface ge-1/0/0 {
pdu-interval 1000;
pdu-threshold 5;
}
}
}
}
}
