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
