Carrier Ethernet Commands
ais
To enable the Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) function for a specific maintenance association, use the ais command in Ethernet connectivity fault management (CFM) service configuration mode. To disable AIS configuration, use the no form of this command.
ais [expiry-threshold threshold | level level-id | period seconds | suppress-alarms]
no ais [expiry-threshold | level | period | suppress-alarms]
Syntax Description
Command Default
The AIS function is enabled on specific maintenance associations.
Command Modes
Ethernet CFM service configuration (config-ecfm-srv)
Command History
Usage Guidelines
Alarms are suppressed when a MEP goes into a RX AIS (receipt of an AIS frame) defect condition.
When you specify level with the ais command, you can transmit AIS messages to a higher maintenance association without configuring a maintenance intermediate point (MIP) for that maintenance association.
Output of the show running all command shows "ais expiry-threshold 3.5" when the default expiry threshold is configured, "ais period 60" when the default transmission period is configured, and "no ais suppress-alarms" when the default value for the suppress-alarms option is configured.
Examples
The following example shows how to enable the AIS function at level 5 with a transmission period of one second:
Router(config)# ethernet cfm domain operatorA level 5Router(config-ecfm)# service vlan-id 10 portRouter(config-ecfm-srv)# ais period 1Router(config-ecfm-srv)# ais level 5Router(config-ecfm-srv)#Related Commands
alarm
To configure an alarm when fault alarms are enabled, use the alarm command in Ethernet connectivity fault management (CFM) interface configuration mode. To remove the configuration, use the no form of this command.
alarm {delay mseconds | notification {all | error-xcon | mac-remote-error-xcon | none | remote-error-xcon | xcon} | reset mseconds}
no alarm {delay | notification {all | error-xcon | mac-remote-error-xcon | none | remote-error-xcon | xcon} | reset}
Syntax Description
Syntax Description
Command Default
Alarms are disabled.
Command Modes
Ethernet CFM interface configuration (config-if-ecfm-mep)
Command History
Usage Guidelines
This command overrides the global ethernet cfm alarm command.
If a higher priority defect occurs after a lower priority defect has triggered an alarm but before the alarm has reset, immediately issue another fault alarm for the higher priority defect.
Output of the show running all command displays "alarm delay 2500" when the default value for the delay option is configured, "alarm mac-remote-error-xcon" when the default value for the notification option is configured, and "alarm reset 10000" when the default value for the reset option is configured.
Examples
The following example shows how to set up notifications for all defects:

bridge-domain (global)
To configure components on a bridge domain and to enter bridge-domain configuration mode, use the bridge-domain command in global configuration mode. To remove the configured components from the bridge domain and to return the components to the bridge-domain default state, use the no form of this command.
bridge-domain bridge-id
no bridge-domain bridge-id
Syntax Description
bridge-id
Identifier for the bridge domain instance. Integer in the range 1 to Platform_Upper_Bound, where Platform_Upper_Bound is a platform-specific upper limit.
Command Default

Command Modes
Interface configuration (config-if)
Command History
Usage Guidelines
OSMs are not supported on Cisco 7600 series routers that are configured with a Supervisor Engine 32.
IP Address for the Physical Interface
You do not have to disable the IP address that is assigned to a physical interface that is part of a channel group, but Cisco highly recommends doing so.
Layer 2 and Layer 3 Port Channels
You can create both Layer 2 and Layer 3 port channels by entering the interface port-channel command or, when the channel-group gets its first physical interface assignment. The port channels are not created at run time, nor are they created dynamically.
You do not have to create a port-channel interface before assigning a physical interface to a channel group. A port-channel interface is automatically created when the channel group gets its first physical interface, if it is not already created.
Propagation of Configuration and Attribute Changes
Any configuration or attribute changes you make to the port-channel interface are propagated to all interfaces within the same channel group as the port channel. (for example, configuration changes are also propagated to the physical interfaces that are not part of the port-channel, but are part of the channel group.)
The on Keyword
When you use the on keyword, a usable EtherChannel exists only when a port group in on mode is connected to another port group in the on mode.
Cisco 2600 Series, Cisco 3600 Series, and Cisco 3700 Series Routers
You do not have to create a port-channel interface before assigning a physical interface to a channel group. A port-channel interface is created automatically when the channel group gets its first physical interface, if it is not already created.
Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers
The Cisco ASR 1000 series router has the following prerequisites and restriction:
•
•
•
Cisco Catalyst Switches
The number of valid values for number depends on the software release. For software releases prior to Cisco IOS Release 12.1(3a)E3, valid values are from 1 to 256; for Cisco IOS Release 12.1(3a)E3, 12.1(3a)E4, and 12.1(4)E1, valid values are from 1 to 64. Cisco IOS Release 12.1 E and later releases support a maximum of 64 values ranging from 1 to 256.
The channel-group number is global and is shared between all the channeling protocols. If a specific channel number is used for the PAgP-enabled interfaces of a channel group, that same channel number cannot be used for configuring a channel that has LACP-enabled interfaces or vice versa.
Entering the auto or desirable keyword enables PAgP on the specified interface; the command will be rejected if it is issued on an LACP-enabled interface.
The active and passive keywords are valid on PAgP-disabled interfaces only.
You can change the mode for an interface only if it is the only interface that is designated to the specified channel group.
The on keyword forces the bundling of the interface on the channel without any negotiation.
You can manually configure a switch with PAgP on one side and LACP on the other side in the on mode.
With the on mode, a usable EtherChannel exists only when a port group in on mode is connected to another port group in on mode.
If you enter the channel group command on an interface that is added to a channel with a different protocol than the protocol you are entering, the command is rejected.
If the interface belongs to a channel, the no form of this command is rejected.
All ports in the same channel group must use the same protocol; you cannot run two protocols on one channel group.
PAgP and LACP are not compatible; both ends of a channel must use the same protocol.
You can change the protocol at any time, but this change causes all existing EtherChannels to reset to the default channel mode for the new protocol.
Configure all ports in an EtherChannel to operate at the same speed and duplex mode (full duplex only for LACP mode).
All ports in a channel must be on the same DFC-equipped module. You cannot configure any of the ports to be on other modules.
On systems that are configured with nonfabric-enabled modules and fabric-enabled modules, you can bundle ports across all modules, but those bundles cannot include a DFC-equipped module port.
You do not have to create a port-channel interface before assigning a physical interface to a channel group. A port-channel interface is created automatically when the channel group gets its first physical interface, if it is not already created.
You do not have to disable the IP address that is assigned to a physical interface that is part of a channel group, but it is highly recommended.
You can create both Layer 2 and Layer 3 port channels by entering the interface port-channel command or when the channel group gets its first physical interface assignment. The port channels are not created at runtime or dynamically.
Any configuration or attribute changes that you make to the port-channel interface are propagated to all interfaces within the same channel group as the port channel (for example, configuration changes are also propagated to the physical interfaces that are not part of the port channel but are part of the channel group).
When configuring Layer 2 EtherChannels, you cannot put Layer 2 LAN ports into manually created port-channel logical interfaces.
Only the on mode is supported when using this command with GE-WAN ports on the OSM-2+4GE-WAN+ OSM to create QinQ link bundles for advanced QinQ translation. Also, you cannot use the channel-group command on GE-WAN interfaces if MPLS is configured. You must remove all IP, MPLS, and other Layer 3 configuration commands before using the channel-group command with GE-WAN interfaces.
Note
Caution
For a complete list of guidelines, see the "Configuring EtherChannel" section of the Cisco 7600 Series Router Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide.
Fast EtherChannel
Before you assign a Fast Ethernet interface to a Fast EtherChannel group, you must first create a port-channel interface. To create a port-channel interface, use the interface port-channel global configuration command.
If the Fast Ethernet interface has an IP address assigned, you must disable it before adding the Fast Ethernet interface to the Fast EtherChannel. To disable an existing IP address on the Fast Ethernet interface, use the no ip address command in interface configuration mode.
The Fast EtherChannel feature allows multiple Fast Ethernet point-to-point links to be bundled into one logical link to provide bidirectional bandwidth of up to 800 Mbps. Fast EtherChannel can be configured between Cisco 7500 series routers and Cisco 7000 series routers with the 7000 Series Route Switch Processor (RSP7000) and 7000 Series Chassis Interface (RSP7000CI) or between a Cisco 7500 series router or a Cisco 7000 series router with the RSP7000 and RSP700CI and a Cisco Catalyst 5000 switch.
A maximum of four Fast Ethernet interfaces can be added to a Fast EtherChannel group.
Caution
Fast Ethernet interfaces. Do not assign bridge groups on the physical Fast Ethernet interfaces
because it creates loops. Also, you must disable spanning tree.
To display information about the Fast EtherChannel, use the show interfaces port-channel EXEC command.
For more guidelines see the "Configuring EtherChannel" section of the Cisco 7600 Series Router Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide and the "Configuring EtherChannel" section of the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide.

To enable automatic recovery of a service instance after a MAC security violation, use the errdisable recovery cause mac-security command in service instance configuration mode. To disable the automatic recovery mechanism, use the no form of this command.
errdisable recovery cause mac-security interval
no errdisable recovery cause mac-security interval
Syntax Description
Command Default
Automatic recovery of a service instance is disabled.
Command Modes
Service instance configuration (config-if-srv)
Command History
Usage Guidelines
A cause is the reason why the error-disabled state occurred. When a cause is detected on a service instance, the service instance is placed in the error-disabled state (an operational state that is similar to the shutdown state). When you enable automatic error recovery, the service instance is brought out of the error-disabled state and allowed to retry the operation after all the causes have timed out. If you do not enable automatic error recovery, the service instance stays in the error-disabled state until the shutdown and no shutdown commands are issued.
Alternatively, you can use the clear ethernet service instance command to bring the service instance out of the error-disabled state.
Examples
The following example shows how to enable the automatic recovery of service instance 200 after a MAC security violation and to specify a recovery time of 30 seconds.

Syntax Description
Command Default
No maintenance domains are assigned to maintenance levels if this command is not issued.
Command Modes
Global configuration (config)
Command History
Usage Guidelines
When a router is in Ethernet CFM configuration mode, parameters specific to a maintenance domain can be set. Several domains, with different names, can be configured at the same maintenance level; however, a single domain cannot be associated with multiple levels.
In CFM IEEE, if a domain name has more than 43 characters, a warning message is displayed notifying that the maintenance domain ID (MDID) will be truncated to 43 characters in continuity check messages (CCMs) if "id <fmt> <MDID>" is not configured.
When this command places the CLI in Ethernet configuration mode, in CFM D1 the mode prompt is "config-ether-cfm" and in CFM IEEE the mode prompt is "config-ecfm."
Examples
The following example shows how to define an outward facing domain named domain1 at level 6 and that the CLI mode changes to Ethernet CFM configuration mode:
Router(config)# ethernet cfm domain domain1 level 6 direction outwardRouter(config-ether-cfm)#The following example shows how to define a domain named cust10 at level 5 and also shows the Ethernet CFM configuration mode prompt that is displayed in the CFM IEEE Standard implementation:

Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or keywords.
Command Default
Ethernet CFM is enabled.
Command Modes
Interface configuration (config-if)
Command History
Usage Guidelines
Ethernet CFM is enabled by default on an interface and must be disabled explicitly. When CFM is disabled on an interface, hardware resources (for example, port-ASIC match-registers) are released for that interface.
This command is mutually exclusive of maintenance intermediate point (MIP) and maintenance end point (MEP) configuration commands. The interface must be enabled before any MEPs or MIPs can be configured. Similarly, disabling a port that has MIPs or MEPs configured is not allowed. The user must first unconfigure the maintenance points.
When CFM processing is disabled on an interface, all CFM frames that arrive at that interface are forwarded as normal data traffic, and are not processed by the CPU.
Examples
The following example shows how to disable and then enable CFM processing on an interface:
Router(config-if)# no ethernet cfm enableRouter(config-if)# ethernet cfm enableethernet cfm global

Command History
Usage Guidelines
Before you issue this command, you must configure a static list of MEPs using the mep crosscheck mpid vlan command. To enable cross-checking after a device has booted up, you must issue the ethernet cfm mep crosscheck enable command.
A no form of this command does not exist. Cross-checking is disabled when you issue the command with the disable keyword.
In CFM IEEE, if a domain name has more than 43 characters, a warning message is displayed notifying that the maintenance domain ID (MDID) will be truncated to 43 characters in continuity check messages (CCMs) if "id <fmt> <MDID>" is not configured.
To view the results of a cross-check operation, use the show ethernet cfm maintenance-points remote crosscheck command. To view errors in the cross-check operation, use the show ethernet cfm errors command. Both commands are used in privileged EXEC mode.
Traps are generated after a cross-check operation is completed if cross-check traps are already enabled and, if as the result of the cross-check operation, a condition warrants a trap to be sent.
An EVC is an association of two or more user network interfaces (UNIs). EVCs are not supported in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SXI2.

ethernet cfm mep domain mpid
To set a port as internal to a maintenance domain and define it as a maintenance endpoint (MEP), use the ethernet cfm mep domain mpid command in interface configuration mode. Also, use this command to place the command-line interface (CLI) in Ethernet connectivity fault management (CFM) MEP configuration mode (config-if-ecfm-mep). To restore the default configuration of the port, use the no form of this command.
ethernet cfm mep domain domain-name mpid mpid {port | vlan vlan-id}
no ethernet cfm mep domain domain-name mpid mpid {port | vlan vlan-id}
Syntax Description
Command Default
This command is disabled.
Command Modes
Interface configuration (config-if)
Command History
Usage Guidelines
A single interface may belong to multiple domains, meaning that you can issue multiple instances of the ethernet cfm mep domain mpid command for different domains.
If a specified domain has not been configured, an error message is displayed and the command is rejected.
If an interface is manually provisioned to have a maintenance intermediate point (MIP) at a certain maintenance level and you attempt to configure it as a MEP for a VLAN on the same or a higher level, an error message is displayed and the command is rejected.
If the VLAN for which a MEP is configured is removed from an interface, the MEP configuration is also removed; the VLAN and the definition of the MEP are interrelated.
If a domain name has more than 43 characters, a warning message is displayed notifying that the maintenance domain ID (MDID) will be truncated to 43 characters in continuity check messages (CCMs) if "id <fmt> <MDID>" is not configured.
Examples
The following example shows how to set a port as internal to a maintenance domain, define it as a maintenance endpoint (MEP), and configure VLAN 17:
Router(config)# interface ethernet 0/1Router(config-if)# ethernet cfm mep domain CustomerB mpid 5 vlan 17Router(config-if)#ethernet cfm mep level mpid vlan
To set an interface as a domain boundary (edge), define it as a maintenance endpoint (MEP), and set direction for the MEP, use the ethernet cfm mep level mpid vlan command in interface configuration mode. To restore the default configuration of the interface, use the no form of this command.

Command Modes

Command History
Usage Guidelines
Following is the order in which you must configure Ethernet connectivity fault management (CFM) elements:
1.
2.
3.
4.
If you do not configure elements in this sequence, the ethernet cfm mep level mpid vlan command will fail. An exception is at maintenance level 7, where configuring a MIP on the interface before you configure a MEP is not required. Configuring a MIP on an interface also is not required when you are configuring an outward facing MEP.
A single interface may belong to multiple domains, which means you can issue multiple instances of the ethernet cfm mep level mpid vlan command for different domains and for different VLANs.
More than one domain can be configured at a single level. The level plus VLAN indicates the domain to which the MEP belongs.
You can configure a single MEP, a list of MEPs, or a range of MEPs so that there is one MEP per VLAN and all MEPs share the same level, direction, and maintenance endpoint ID (MPID).
If the direction of the MEP is not stated, the default is inward facing (toward the Bridge). When you specify an outward MEP, you must provide a domain name. If the specified domain has not been configured or if the specified domain has not been tagged as outward, an error message will display and the command will be rejected.
All MEPs and MIPs must be removed from an interface before MEPs at level 7 can be configured. Also, when you remove MEP configurations at Level 7, you should first remove all lower level MEPs. If you try to configure a MEP on an interface with a level higher than the MIP level, the command will be rejected and an error message will be displayed.
If an interface is provisioned to be a MIP for a certain maintenance level and you try to configure the interface as an inward MEP for a VLAN at the same level, the command will be rejected and an error message will display. If a VLAN for which a MEP is configured is removed from an interface, the MEP configuration remains, but the MEP is inactive and does not transmit or receive messages because the definition of the MEP is associated with the VLAN.
Examples
The following example shows how to set interface Ethernet 0/1 as a domain boundary and define it as a MEP at level 5, with a MPID of 5 on VLAN 101, and then issue the show ethernet cfm maintenance-points local command to display the list of configured MEPs in the device:

ethernet cfm mip
To globally provision maintenance intermediate points (MIPs) at a specified maintenance level for VLAN IDs that are not associated with specific maintenance associations (MAs) and to enable level filtering, use the ethernet cfm mip command in global configuration mode. To remove a MIP, use the no form of this command.
ethernet cfm mip {auto-create level level-id vlan {vlan-id | vlan-id-vlan-id | ,vlan-id-vlan-id} [lower-mep-only] [sender-id chassis] | filter}
no ethernet cfm mip {auto-create level level-id vlan {vlan-id | vlan-id-vlan-id | ,vlan-id-vlan-id} [lower-mep-only] [sender-id chassis] | filter}
Syntax Description
Command Default
MIPs are not provisioned.
Command Modes
Global configuration (config)
Command History
Usage Guidelines
MIPs will be provisioned only if all the policies have been met.
This command has lower precedence than the manual MIP ethernet cfm mip level (interface configuration mode) configuration command. For example, if you manually configure a MIP for a particular MA, that configuration overrides the MIP created by the global ethernet cfm mip command for that MA.
Examples
The following example shows how to dynamically create a MIP at maintenance level 6 and configure VLAN 500 if a MEP is configured at the next lower active maintenance domain level for the VLAN ID on the port:
Router(config)# ethernet cfm mip auto-create level 6 vlan 500 lower-mep-onlyRelated Commands
ethernet cfm mip level
To provision a maintenance intermediate point (MIP) at a specified maintenance level on an interface, use the ethernet cfm mip level command in interface configuration mode. To restore the default configuration of the interface, use the no form of this command.

Syntax Description
Syntax Description
Command Default
No MIPs are configured.
Command Modes
Interface configuration (config-if)
Command History
Usage Guidelines
If you do not configure a VLAN, this command creates MIPs for all VLANs on an interface.
In the CFM D1 implementation, you must first configure a domain using the ethernet cfm domain command at the level you want to configure the MIP; otherwise, the ethernet cfm mip level command is rejected. In the CFM IEEE implementation, preconfiguring a domain is not required.
You cannot configure a MIP at a level lower than the level of already configured maintenance endpoints (MEPs) on an interface.
Configuring a MIP using this command is known as a manual MIP and has precedence over the mip auto-create command.
Examples
The following example shows how to provision a MIP at maintenance level 5 and then issue the show ethernet cfm maintenance-points local command to display the list of configured MIPs in the device:
Router(config-if)# ethernet cfm mip level 5Router(config-if)# Ctrl-ZRouter# show ethernet cfm maintenance-points localRelated Commands
ethernet cfm traceroute cache
To enable caching of Ethernet connectivity fault management (CFM) data learned through traceroute messages, use the ethernet cfm traceroute cache command in global configuration mode. To disable caching, use the no form of this command.
ethernet cfm traceroute cache
no ethernet cfm traceroute cache
Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or keywords.
Command Default
Caching is disabled.
Command Modes
Global configuration (config)
Command History
Usage Guidelines
Setting a traceroute cache allows you to store the results of traceroute operations initiated on the device.
Examples
The following example shows how to enable Ethernet CFM traceroute cache:
Router(config)# ethernet cfm traceroute cacheRelated Commands
ethernet cfm traceroute cache hold-time
To set the time that Ethernet connectivity fault management (CFM) traceroute cache entries are retained, use the ethernet cfm traceroute cache hold-time command in global configuration mode. To remove the configured time, use the no form of this command.
ethernet cfm traceroute cache hold-time minutes
no ethernet cfm traceroute cache hold-time
Syntax Description
Syntax DescriptionCommand Syntax]
minutes
Integer in the range of 1 to 65535 that specifies the number of minutes that cache entries will be retained. The default is 100.
Command Default
Entries are retained for 100 minutes.
Command Modes
Global configuration (config)
Command History
Usage Guidelines
Before you can issue this command, you must have enabled traceroute caching using the ethernet cfm traceroute cache command.
If traceroute cache is enabled and not empty and you change the hold time to less than the currently configured time, the change is rejected. You are prompted to clean up the table before the new hold time can be accepted. For example:
Router(config)# ethernet cfm traceroute cache hold-time 5Please clean up the cache before setting smaller hold-timecurrent hold time = 100 Command Aborted.Router(config)#Output of the show running all command displays "ethernet cfm traceroute cache hold-time 100" when traceroute cache is enabled and the default value of 100 is configured.
Examples
The following example shows how to set the retention time for entries in an Ethernet CFM traceroute cache table to 5 minutes:
Router(config)# ethernet cfm traceroute cache hold-time 5Related Commands
ethernet cfm traceroute cache size
To set a maximum size for the Ethernet connectivity fault management (CFM) traceroute cache table, use the ethernet cfm traceroute cache size command in global configuration mode. To remove the configured size, use the no form of this command.
ethernet cfm traceroute cache size entries
no ethernet cfm traceroute cache size
Syntax Description
entries
Number of entries in the traceroute cache table, expressed as an integer in the range of 1 to 4095. The default is 100.
Command Default
If traceroute cache is enabled, traceroute replies are cached up to a maximum of 100 entries.
If traceroute cache is disabled, traceroute replies are not cached; the default size is 0.
Command Modes
Global configuration (config)
Command History
Usage Guidelines
Before you can issue this command, you must have enabled traceroute caching using the ethernet cfm traceroute cache command.
Entries in the traceroute cache table are single replies from remote devices—not the number of operations on the device. In Cisco pre-Standard CFM Draft 1 when the maximum cache size is reached, new replies cannot be added until you clear the cache or increase its size. In CFM IEEE 802.1ag Standard when the maximum cache size is reached, the oldest traceroute operation is removed to make room for a new traceroute operation.
Output of the show running all command displays "ethernet cfm traceroute cache size 100" when traceroute cache is enabled and the default value of 100 is configured.
Setting the number of entries lower than the number of entries currently cached causes this command to be rejected, and you are prompted to clear the traceroute cache.
Examples
The following example shows how to set the maximum number of entries in an Ethernet CFM traceroute cache table to 2500:
Router(config)# ethernet cfm traceroute cache size 2500Related Commands

ethernet lmi
To set Ethernet local management interface (LMI) parameters for a user-network interface (UNI), use the ethernet lmi command in interface configuration mode. To remove Ethernet LMI parameters on a UNI, use the no form of this command.
ethernet lmi {n391 | n393 | t391 | t392} value
no ethernet lmi {n391 | n393 | t391 | t392}
Syntax Description
Command Default
Ethernet LMI parameters are not set on any UNIs.
Command Modes

Command History
12.4(9)T
This command was introduced.
12.2(33)SRB
Support for this command on the Cisco 7600 router was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRB.
Usage Guidelines
The value for the polling verification timer (t392) should be greater than the value for the polling timer (t391).
The polling verification timer (t392) can be disabled.
A very high value for the polling timer (t391) means more time spent detecting Ethernet LMI link-down errors.
Examples
The following example shows how to set a polling counter for 30 seconds on interface Ethernet 1/0:
Router# configure terminalRouter(config)# interface ethernet 1/0Router(config-if)# ethernet lmi t391 30ethernet lmi ce-vlan map
To configure Ethernet Local Management Interface (LMI) parameters, use the ethernet lmi ce-vlan map command in Ethernet service configuration mode. To remove the configuration, use the no form of this command.
ethernet lmi ce-vlan map {vlan-id [untagged] | any | default | untagged}
no ethernet lmi ce-vlan map {vlan-id | any | default | untagged}
Syntax Description
Command Default
No Ethernet LMI mapping parameters are defined.
Command Modes

Command History
12.2(25)SEG
This command was introduced.
12.2(33)SRB
This command was implemented on the Cisco 7600 series routers.
Usage Guidelines
If you intend to use the ethernet lmi ce-vlan map any command, you must first configure all-to-one bundling on the interface.
Use this command to configure an Ethernet LMI customer VLAN-to-EVC map for a particular user-network interface (UNI).
Ethernet LMI mapping parameters are related to the bundling characteristics set by entering the ethernet uni command in interface configuration mode.

ethernet lmi global
To enable Ethernet local management interface (LMI) functionality globally on a device, use the ethernet lmi global command in global configuration mode. To disable Ethernet LMI globally on a device, use the no form of this command.
ethernet lmi global
no ethernet lmi global
Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or keywords.
Command Default
Ethernet LMI is disabled.
Command Modes
Global configuration (config)
Command History
12.4(9)T
This command was introduced.
12.2(33)SRB
Support for this command on the Cisco 7600 router was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRB.
Usage Guidelines
Ethernet LMI is disabled by default on an interface and must be explicitly enabled. The ethernet lmi global command enables Ethernet LMI on all interfaces for an entire device. The benefit of this command is that you can enable Ethernet LMI on all interfaces with one command compared to enabling Ethernet LMI separately on each interface.
To disable Ethernet LMI on a specific interface after the ethernet lmi global command has been issued, the no ethernet lmi interface command must be issued on that interface.
The sequence in which the ethernet lmi interface and ethernet lmi global commands are issued is significant. The latest command issued overrides the prior command issued.
Examples
The following example shows how to enable Ethernet LMI globally on a device:
Router(config)# ethernet lmi globalRelated Commands

12.2(33)SRB
Support for this command on the Cisco 7600 router was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRB.
Usage Guidelines
This command enables Ethernet LMI processing on an interface if the ethernet lmi global command has not been issued. When the ethernet lmi global command has been issued, Ethernet LMI is enabled on all interfaces. In this case, the no ethernet lmi interface command overrides the ethernet lmi global command and disables Ethernet LMI processing on the interface.
The sequence in which the commands are issued is significant. The latest command issued overrides the prior command issued.
Examples
The following example shows how to enable Ethernet LMI on interface Ethernet 1/0:
Router# configure terminalRouter(config)# interface ethernet 1/0Router(config-if)# ethernet lmi interfaceRelated Commands
