This chapter describes messages with the CFMD prefix. They are generated by the connectivity-fault management (CFM) process (cfmd), which supports Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) functions that are defined in the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.1ag standard for Ethernet interfaces.
CFM defect: error-message
A connectivity-fault management (CFM) maintenance endpoint (MEP) received a continuity check message (CCM) that had an incorrect maintenance association (MA) ID or a maintenance domain (MD) level lower than that of the MEP, each of which indicates a cross-connect error.
Event: This message reports an event, not an error
error
The configuration is invalid.
Check whether the configured MD name, format, and level, or the MA name or format, is different from the remote endpoint.
CFM defect: error-message
A connectivity-fault management (CFM) maintenance endpoint (MEP) received a continuity check message (CCM) with an incorrect transmission interval or MEP ID, which indicates a configuration error.
Event: This message reports an event, not an error
error
The configuration is invalid.
Verify that the configured continuity-check transmission interval does not differ from the remote endpoint, and that the configured MEP ID is valid.
CFM defect: error-message
A connectivity-fault management (CFM) maintenance endpoint (MEP) received a continuity check message (CCM) that contained a 'Port Status' or 'Interface Status' type, length, value (TLV), which indicate a failed bridge port or aggregated port.
Event: This message reports an event, not an error
error
CFM defect: error-message
No defect was detected.
Event: This message reports an event, not an error
error
CFM defect: error-message
A connectivity-fault management (CFM) maintenance endpoint (MEP) received a continuity check message (CCM) that had the 'Remote Defect Indication' (RDI) bit set, which indicates that not all configured MEPs are returning CCMs to the transmitting MEP.
Event: This message reports an event, not an error
error
CFM defect: error-message
A connectivity-fault management (CFM) maintenance endpoint (MEP) did not receive three consecutive continuity check message (CCM)s from one of the other MEPs in its maintenance association (MA), which indicates a MEP failure or network failure.
Event: This message reports an event, not an error
error
CFM defect: error-message
An unknown defect was detected.
Event: This message reports an event, not an error
error
