CFMD System Log Messages

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.

CFMD_CCM_DEFECT_CROSS_CONNECT

System Log Message

CFM defect: error-message

Description

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.

Type

Event: This message reports an event, not an error

Severity

error

Cause

The configuration is invalid.

Action

Check whether the configured MD name, format, and level, or the MA name or format, is different from the remote endpoint.

CFMD_CCM_DEFECT_ERROR

System Log Message

CFM defect: error-message

Description

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.

Type

Event: This message reports an event, not an error

Severity

error

Cause

The configuration is invalid.

Action

Verify that the configured continuity-check transmission interval does not differ from the remote endpoint, and that the configured MEP ID is valid.

CFMD_CCM_DEFECT_MAC_STATUS

System Log Message

CFM defect: error-message

Description

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.

Type

Event: This message reports an event, not an error

Severity

error

CFMD_CCM_DEFECT_NONE

System Log Message

CFM defect: error-message

Description

No defect was detected.

Type

Event: This message reports an event, not an error

Severity

error

CFMD_CCM_DEFECT_RDI

System Log Message

CFM defect: error-message

Description

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.

Type

Event: This message reports an event, not an error

Severity

error

CFMD_CCM_DEFECT_RMEP

System Log Message

CFM defect: error-message

Description

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.

Type

Event: This message reports an event, not an error

Severity

error

CFMD_CCM_DEFECT_UNKNOWN

System Log Message

CFM defect: error-message

Description

An unknown defect was detected.

Type

Event: This message reports an event, not an error

Severity

error
