Configuring Ethernet CFM, E-LMI and OAM

Ethernet Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) is a protocol for installing, monitoring, and troubleshooting Ethernet networks. Metro Ethernet service providers in particular require certain management capability within the context of the overall Ethernet infrastructure. In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(25)SEG, support was added for IEEE 802.1ag Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) and Ethernet Local Management Interface (E-LMI). Ethernet OAM manager controls the interworking between CFM and E-LMI. Beginning with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(35)SE, the Catalyst 3750 Metro switch also supports IEEE 802.3ah Ethernet OAM discovery, link monitoring, remote fault detection, and remote loopback. This chapter provides general information about configuring CFM, E-LMI, and the Ethernet OAM protocol.

Understanding Ethernet CFM

Ethernet CFM is an end-to-end per-service-instance (per VLAN) Ethernet layer OAM protocol that includes proactive connectivity monitoring, fault verification, and fault isolation. End-to-end can be provider-edge-to provider-edge (PE-to-PE) device or customer-edge-to-customer-edge (CE-to-CE) device. Ethernet CFM, as specified by IEEE 802.1ag, is the standard for Layer 2 ping, Layer 2 traceroute, and end-to-end connectivity check of the Ethernet network.

Note You configure E-LMI between the user provider-edge (UPE) and the CE device, and it relies on CFM for reporting status of the metro Ethernet network to the customer-edge device.

These sections contain this conceptual information about Ethernet CFM:

•CFM Domain

•Maintenance Points

•CFM Messages

•Crosscheck Function

•SNMP Traps

CFM Domain

A CFM maintenance domain is a management space on a network that is owned and operated by a single entity and defined by a set of ports internal to it, but at its boundary. The network administrator assigns a unique maintenance level (from 0 to 7) to define the hierarchical relationship between domains. The larger the domain, the higher the level. For example, as shown in Figure 37-1, a service-provider domain would be larger than an operator domain and might have a maintenance level of 6, while the operator domain maintenance level is 3 or 4.

Figure 37-1 CFM Maintenance Domains

As shown in Figure 37-2, domains cannot intersect or overlap because that would require management by more than one entity, which is not allowed. Domains can touch or nest (if the outer domain has a higher maintenance level than the nested domain). Nesting domains is useful when a service provider contract with one or more operators to provide Ethernet service. Each operator has its own maintenance domain and the service provider domain is a superset of the operator domains. Maintenance levels of nesting domains should be communicated among the administrating organizations. CFM exchanges messages and performs operations on a per-domain basis.

Figure 37-2 Allowed Domain Relationships

Maintenance Points

A maintenance point is a demarcation point on an interface that participates in CFM within a maintenance domain. Maintenance points drop all lower-level frames and forward all higher-level frames. There are two types of maintenance points:

•Maintenance end points (MEPs) are inward-facing points at the edge of the domain that define the boundary and confine CFM messages within these boundaries. Inward facing means that they communicate through the relay function side, not the wire side (connected to the port). A MEP sends and receives CFM frames through the relay function. It drops all CFM frames of its level or lower that come from the wire side. For CFM frames from the relay side, it processes the frames at its level and drops frames at a lower level. The MEP transparently forwards all CFM frames at a higher level, regardless of whether they are received from the relay or wire side. CFM runs at the provider maintenance level (UPE-to-UPE), specifically with inward-facing MEPs at the user network interface (UNI).

•Maintenance intermediate points (MIPs) are internal to a domain, not at the boundary, and respond to CFM only when triggered by traceroute and loopback messages. They forward CFM frames received from MEPs and other MIPs, drop all CFM frames at a lower level, and forward all CFM frames at a higher level, regardless of whether they are received from the relay or wire side.

If port on which the MEP is configured is blocked by Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP), the port cannot receive or transmit CFM messages. If a port on which a MIP is configured is blocked by STP, the port cannot receive or respond to messages from the relay function side, but can receive and respond to CFM messages from the wire side.

CFM Messages

CFM uses standard Ethernet frames distinguished by EtherType or (for multicast messages) by MAC address. All CFM messages are confined to a maintenance domain and to a service-provider VLAN (S-VLAN). These CFM messages are supported:

•Continuity Check (CC) messages—multicast heartbeat messages exchanged periodically between MEPs that allow MEPs to discover other MEPs within a domain and allow MIPs to discover MEPs. CC messages are configured to a domain or VLAN.

•Loopback messages—unicast frames transmitted by a MEP at administrator request to verify connectivity to a particular maintenance point, indicating if a destination is reachable. A loopback message is similar to an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) ping message.

•Traceroute messages—multicast frames transmitted by a MEP at administrator request to track the path (hop-by-hop) to a destination MEP. Traceroute messages are similar in concept to UDP traceroute messages.

Crosscheck Function

The crosscheck function is a timer-driven post-provisioning service verification between dynamically configured MEPs (using crosscheck messages) and expected MEPs (by configuration) for a service. It verifies that all endpoints of a multipoint service are operational. The crosscheck function is performed only one time and is initiated from the command-line interface (CLI).

SNMP Traps

The MEPs generate two types of SMNP traps: CC traps and crosscheck traps. Supported CC traps are MEP up, MEP down, cross-connect (a service ID does not match the VLAN), loop, and configuration error. The crosscheck traps are service up, MEP missing (an expected MEP is down), and unknown MEP.

Understanding E-LMI and Interactions with CFM

Ethernet Local Management Interface (E-LMI) is a protocol between the customer-edge (CE) device and the provider-edge (PE) device. It runs only on the PE-to-CE UNI link and notifies the CE device of connectivity status and configuration parameters of Ethernet services available on the CE port. E-LMI interoperates with an OAM protocol, such as CFM, that runs within the provider network to collect OAM status. CFM runs at the provider maintenance level (UPE to UPE with inward-facing MEPs at the UNI). E-LMI relies on the OAM Ethernet Infrastructure to interwork with CFM for end-to-end status of Ethernet virtual connections (EVCs) across CFM domains.

OAM manager streamlines interaction between OAM protocols, and handles the interaction between CFM and E-LMI. E-LMI interaction with OAM manager is unidirectional, running only from OAM manager to E-LMI on the UPE side of the switch. Information is exchanged either as a result of a request from E-LMI or triggered by OAM when it received notification of a change from the OAM protocol. This type of information is relayed:

•EVC name and availability status

•Remote UNI name and status

•Remote UNI counts

You can configure Ethernet virtual connections (EVCs), service VLANs, UNI ids (for each CE-to-PE link), and UNI count and attributes. You need to configure CFM to notify the OAM manager of any change to the number of active UNIs and or the remote UNI ID for a given S-VLAN domain.

On previous releases, the E-LMI implementation on the Catalyst 3750 Metro switch included only provider-edge-side support. Beginning with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(37)SE, the Catalyst 3750 Metro switch can also be configured as the customer-edge device.

E-LMI Interaction with OAM Manager

No interactions are required between E-LMI and OAM manager on the CE side. On the UPE side, the OAM manager defines an abstraction layer that relays data collected from OAM protocols (in this case CFM) running within the metro network to the E-LMI switch. The information flow is unidirectional (from the OAM manager to the E-LMI) but is triggered in one of two ways:

•Synchronous data flow triggered by a request from the E-LMI

•Asynchronous data flow triggered by OAM manager when it receives notification from CFM that the number of remote UNIs has changed

This data includes:

•EVC name and availability status (active, not active, partially active, or not defined)

•Remote UNI name and status (up, disconnected, administratively down, excessive FCS failures, or not reachable)

•Remote UNI counts (the total number of expected UNIs and the actual number of active UNIs)

The asynchronous update is triggered only when the number of active UNIs has changed.

CFM Interaction with OAM Manager

When there is a change in the number of active UNIs or remote UNI ID for a given S-VLAN or domain, CFM asynchronously notifies the OAM manager. A change in the number of UNIs might (or might not) cause a change in EVC status. OAM manager calculates EVC status given the number of active UNIs and the total number of associated UNIs.

Note If crosscheck is disabled, no SNMP traps are sent when there is a change in the number of UNIs.

Configuring E-LMI Interaction with CFM

For E-LMI to work with CFM, you configure Ethernet virtual connections (EVCs), Ethernet service instances (EFPs), and E-LMI customer VLAN mapping. Most of the configuration occurs on the PE switch on the interfaces connected to the CE device. On the CE switch, you only need to enable E-LMI on the connecting interface. Note that you must configure some OAM parameters, for example, EVC definitions, on PE devices on both sides of a metro network.

This section includes this information:

•Default E-LMI and OAM Configuration

•E-LMI and OAM Configuration Guidelines

•Configuring OAM Manager on a Provider-Edge Switch

•Enabling E-LMI

•Enabling E-LMI

Default E-LMI and OAM Configuration

Ethernet LMI is globally disabled by default. When enabled, the switch is in provider-edge (PE) mode by default.

When you globally enable E-LMI by entering the ethernet lmi global global configuration command, it is automatically enabled on all interfaces. You can also enable or disable E-LMI per interface to override the global configuration. The E-LMI command that is given last is the command that has precedence.

There are no EVCs, EFP service instances, or UNIs defined.

UNI bundling service is bundling with multiplexing.

E-LMI and OAM Configuration Guidelines

OAM manager is an infrastructural element and requires two interworking OAM protocols, in this case CFM and E-LMI. For OAM to operate, the PE side of the connection must be running CFM and E-LMI.

•E-LMI is not supported on routed ports, EtherChannel port channels or ports that belong to an EtherChannel, private VLAN ports, IEEE 802.1Q tunnel ports, or EoMPLS ports.

•You cannot configure E-LMI on VLAN interfaces.

•When you enable E-LMI globally or on an interface, the switch is in PE mode by default, You must enter the ethernet lmi ce global configuration command to enable the switch or interface in customer-edge mode.

•When the switch is configured as a CE device, the service instance and ethernet uni interface commands are visible but not supported.

Configuring OAM Manager on a Provider-Edge Switch

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure OAM manager on a PE switch:

Command

Purpose

Step 1

configure terminal

Enter global configuration mode.

Step 2

ethernet cfm domain domain-name level level-id

Define a CFM domain, set the domain level, and enter ethernet-cfm configuration mode for the domain. The maintenance level number range is 0 to 7.

Step 3

service csi-id vlan vlan-id

Define a universally unique customer service instance (CSI) and VLAN ID within the maintenance domain.

•csi-id—a string of no more than 100 characters that identifies the CSI.

•vlan-id—VLAN range is from 1 to 4095. You cannot use the same VLAN ID for more than one domain at the same level.

Step 4

exit

Return to global configuration mode.

Step 5

ethernet evc evc-id

Define an Ethernet virtual connection (evc), and enter evc configuration mode. The identifier can be up to 100 characters in length.

Step 6

oam protocol cfm svlan vlan-id domain domain-name

Configure the EVC OAM protocol as CFM, and identify the service provider VLAN-ID (S-VLAN-ID) for the CFM domain maintenance level as configured in Steps 2 and 3.

Note If the CFM domain does not exist, the command is rejected, and an error message appears.

Step 7

uni count value

(Optional) Set the UNI count for the EVC. The range is 2 to 1024; the default is 2.

If the command is not entered, the service defaults to a point-to-point service. If you enter a value of 2, you have the option to select point-to-multipoint service. If you configure a value of 3 or greater, the service is point-to-multipoint.

Note You should know the correct number of maintenance end points in the domain. If you enter a value greater than the actual number of end points, the UNI status will show as partially active even if all end points are up; if you enter a uni count less than the actual number of end points, status might show as active, even if all end points are not up.

Step 8

exit

Return to global configuration mode.

Step 9

Repeat Steps 2 to 5 for other CFM domains that you want OAM manager to monitor.

Step 10

interface interface-id

Specify a physical interface connected to the CE device, and enter interface configuration mode.

Step 11

service instance efp-identifier ethernet [evc-id]

Configure an Ethernet service instance (EFP) on the interface, and enter ethernet service configuration mode.

•The EFP identifier is a per-interface service identifier that does not map to a VLAN. The EFP identifier range is 1 to 4967295.

•(Optional) Enter an evc-id to attach an EVC to the EFP.

Step 12

ethernet lmi ce-vlan map {vlan-id | any | default | untagged}

Configure an E-LMI customer VLAN-to-EVC map for a particular UNI. The keywords have these meanings:

•For vlan vlan-id, enter the customer VLAN ID or IDs to map to as single VLAN-ID (1 to 4094), a range of VLAN-IDs separated by a hyphen, or a series of VLAN IDs separated by commas.

•Enter any to map all VLANs (untagged or 1 to 4094).

•Enter default to map the default EFP. You can use default keyword only if you have already mapped the service instance to a VLAN or group of VLANs.

•Enter untagged to map untagged VLANs.

Step 13

exit

Return to interface configuration mode.

Step 14

ethernet uni id name

Configure an Ethernet UNI ID. The name should be unique for all the UNIs that are part of a given customer service instance and can be up to 64 characters in length. When a UNI id is configured on a port, that ID is used as the default name for all MEPs configured on the port, unless a name is explicitly configured for a given MEP.

Note This command is required on all ports that are directly connected to CE devices. If the specified ID is not unique on the device, an error message appears.

Step 15

ethernet uni {bundle [all-to-one] | multiplex}

(Optional) Set UNI bundling attributes:

•If you enter bundle <cr>, the UNI supports bundling without multiplexing (only one EVC with one or multiple VLANs be mapped to it).

•If you enter bundle all-to-one, the UNI supports a single EVC and all VLANs are mapped to that EVC.

•If you enter multiplex, the UNI supports multiplexing without bundling (one or more EVCs with a single VLAN mapped to each EVC).

If you do not configure bundling attributes, the default is bundling with multiplexing (one or more EVCs with one or more VLANs mapped to each EVC).

Step 16

end

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 17

show ethernet service evc {detail | id evc-id | interface interface-id}

Verify the configuration.

Step 18

copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.

Use the no forms of the commands to delete an EVC, EFP, or UNI ID, or to return to default configurations.

Note If you configure, change, or remove a UNI service type, EVC, EFP, or CE-VLAN configuration, all configurations are checked to make sure that the configurations match (UNI service type with EVC or EFP and CE-VLAN configuration). The configuration is rejected if the configurations do not match.

Enabling E-LMI

You can enable E-LMI globally or on an interface and you can configure the switch as a PE or a CE device.

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable for E-LMI on the switch or on an interface. Note that the order of the global and interface commands determines the configuration. The command that is entered last has precedence.

Command

Purpose

Step 1

configure terminal

Enter global configuration mode.

Step 2

ethernet lmi global

Globally enable E-LMI on all interfaces. By default, the switch is a PE device.

Step 3

ethernet lmi ce

(Optional) Configure the switch as an E-LMI CE device.

Step 4

interface interface-id

Define an interface to configure as an E-LMI interface, and enter interface configuration mode.

Step 5

ethernet lmi interface

Configure Ethernet LMI on the interface. If E-LMI is enabled globally, it is enabled on all interfaces unless you disable it on specific interfaces. If E-LMI is disabled globally, you can use this command to enable it on specified interfaces.

Step 6

ethernet lmi {n391 value | n393 value | t391 value| t392 value}

Configure E-LMI parameters for the UNI.

The keywords have these meanings:

•n391 value—Set the event counter on the customer equipment. The counter polls the status of the UNI and all Ethernet virtual connections (EVCs). The range is from 1 to 65000; the default is 360.

•n393 value—Set the event counter for the metro Ethernet network. The range is from 1 to 10; the default is 4.

•t391 value—Set the polling timer on the customer equipment. A polling timer sends status enquiries and when status messages are not received, records errors. The range is from 5 to 30 seconds; the default is 10 seconds.

•t392 value—Set the polling verification timer for the metro Ethernet network or the timer to verify received status inquiries. The range is from 5 to 30 seconds, or enter 0 to disable the timer. The default is 15 seconds.

Note The t392 keyword is not supported when the switch is in CE mode.

Step 7

end

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 8

show ethernet lmi evc

Verify the configuration.

Step 9

copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.

Use the no ethernet lmi global configuration command to globally disable E-LMI. Use the no form of the ethernet lmi interface configuration command with keywords to disable E-LMI on the interface or to return the timers to the default settings.

Use the show ethernet lmi commands to display information that was sent to the CE from the status request poll. Use the show ethernet service commands to show current status on the device.

Ethernet OAM Manager Configuration Example

This is a simple example of configuring CFM and E-LMI with OAM manager on a PE device and on a CE device. Beginning with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(37)SE, you can configure the Catalyst 3750 Metro switch as either the PE device or the CE device.

Provider-Edge Device Configuration

This example shows a sample configuration of OAM manager, CFM, and E-LMI on the PE device:
Switch# config t
Switch(config)# ethernet cfm domain Top level 7
Switch(config)# ethernet cfm domain Provider level 4
Switch(config-ether-cfm)# service customer_1 vlan 101
Switch(config-ether-cfm)# mep crosscheck mpid 404 vlan 101
Switch(config-ether-cfm)# exit
Switch(config)# ethernet cfm domain Operator_level 2
Switch(config-ether-cfm)# service operator_1 vlan 101
Switch(config-ether-cfm)# exit
Switch(config)# ethernet cfm enable
Switch(config)# ethernet evc test1
Switch(config-evc)# oam protocol cfm svlan 101 domain Provider
Switch(config-evc)# exit
Switch(config)# ethernet evc 101
Switch(config-evc)# uni count 3
Switch(config-evc)# oam protocol cfm svlan 101 domain Operator
Switch(config-evc)# exit
Switch(config)# ethernet lmi global
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet 1/0/2
Switch(config-if)# service instance 101 ethernet test1
Switch(config-if-srv)# ethernet lmi ce-vlan map 101
Switch(config-if-srv)# exit
Switch(config-if)# exit
Switch(config)# ethernet cfm cc enable level 2-4 vlan 101 
Switch(config)# exit
Customer-Edge Device Configuration

This example shows the commands necessary to configure E-LMI on the CE device. Beginning with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(37)SE, the Catalyst 3750 Metro switch can be configured as the CE device.

This example enables E-LMI globally, but you can also enable it only on a specific interface. However, if you do not enter the ethernet lmi ce global configuration command, the interface will be in PE mode by default.
Switch# config t
Switch(config)# ethernet lmi global
Switch(config)# ethernet lmi ce
Switch(config)# exit
Note For E-LMI to work, any VLANs used on the PE device must also be created on the CE device. Create a VLAN by entering the vlan vlan-id global configuration command on the CE device, where the vlan-ids match those on the PE device.

Understanding the Ethernet OAM Protocol

The Ethernet OAM protocol for installing, monitoring, and troubleshooting Metro Ethernet networks and Ethernet WANs relies on an optional sublayer in the data link layer of the OSI model. Normal link operation does not require Ethernet OAM. You can implement Ethernet OAM on any full-duplex point-to-point or emulated point-to-point Ethernet link for a network or part of a network (specified interfaces).

OAM frames, called OAM protocol data units (OAM PDUs) use the slow protocol destination MAC address 0180.c200.0002. They are intercepted by the MAC sublayer and cannot propagate beyond a single hop within an Ethernet network. Ethernet OAM is a relatively slow protocol, with a maximum transmission rate of 10 frames per second, resulting in minor impact to normal operations. However, when you enable link monitoring, because the CPU must poll error counters frequently, the number of required CPU cycles is proportional to the number of interfaces that must be polled.

Ethernet OAM has two major components:

•The OAM client establishes and manages Ethernet OAM on a link and enables and configures the OAM sublayer. During the OAM discovery phase, the OAM client monitors OAM PDUs received from the remote peer and enables OAM functionality. After the discovery phase, it manages the rules of response to OAM PDUs and the OAM remote loopback mode.

•The OAM sublayer presents two standard IEEE 802.3 MAC service interfaces facing the superior and inferior MAC sublayers. It provides a dedicated interface for the OAM client to pass OAM control information and PDUs to and from the client. It includes these components:

–The control block provides the interface between the OAM client and other OAM sublayer internal blocks.

–The multiplexer manages frames from the MAC client, the control block, and the parser and passes OAM PDUs from the control block and loopback frames from the parser to the subordinate layer.

–The parser classifies frames as OAM PDUs, MAC client frames, or loopback frames and sends them to the appropriate entity: OAM PDUs to the control block, MAC client frames to the superior sublayer, and loopback frames to the multiplexer.

OAM Features

These OAM features are defined by IEEE 802.3ah:

•Discovery identifies devices in the network and their OAM capabilities. It uses periodic OAM PDUs to advertise OAM mode, configuration, and capabilities; PDU configuration; and platform identity. An optional phase allows the local station to accept or reject the configuration of the peer OAM entity.

•Link monitoring detects and indicates link faults under a variety of conditions and uses the event notification OAM PDU to notify the remote OAM device when it detects problems on the link. Error events include when the number of symbol errors, the number of frame errors, the number of frame errors within a specified number of frames, or the number of error seconds within a specified period exceed a configured threshold.

•Remote failure indication conveys a slowly deteriorating quality of an OAM entity to its peers by communicating these conditions: Link Fault means a loss of signal, Dying Gasp means an unrecoverable condition, and Critical Event means an unspecified vendor-specific critical event. The Catalyst 3750 Metro switch can receive and process but not generate Link Fault or Critical Event OAM PDUs. It can generate Dying Gasp OAM PDUs to show when Ethernet OAM is disabled, the interface is shut down, the interface enters the error-disabled state, or the switch is reloading. It can respond to, but not generate, Dying Gasp PDUs based on loss of power.

•Remote loopback mode to ensure link quality with a remote peer during installation or troubleshooting. In this mode, when the switch receives a frame that is not an OAM PDU or a pause frame, it sends it back on the same port. The link appears to the user to be in the up state. You can use the returned loopback acknowledgement to test delay, jitter, and throughput.

OAM Messages

Ethernet OAM messages or PDUs are standard length, untagged Ethernet frames between 64 and 1518 bytes. They do not go beyond a single hop and have a maximum transmission rate of 10 OAM PDUs per second. Message types are information, event notification, loopback control, or vendor-specific OAM PDUs.

•Default Ethernet OAM Configuration

•Ethernet OAM Configuration Guidelines

•Enabling Ethernet OAM on an Interface

•Enabling Ethernet OAM Remote Loopback

•Configuring Ethernet OAM Link Monitoring

•Configuring Ethernet OAM Remote Failure Indications

•Configuring Ethernet OAM Templates

Default Ethernet OAM Configuration

Ethernet OAM is disabled on all interfaces.

When Ethernet OAM is enabled on an interface, link monitoring is automatically turned on.

Remote loopback is disabled.

No Ethernet OAM templates are configured.

Ethernet OAM Configuration Guidelines

Follow these guidelines when configuring Ethernet OAM:

•The switch does not support monitoring of egress frames sent with cyclic redundancy code (CDC) errors. The ethernet oam link-monitor transmit crc interface-configuration or template-configuration commands are visible but are not supported on the switch. The commands are accepted, but are not applied to an interface.

•For a remote failure indication, the switch does not generate Link Fault or Critical Event OAM PDUs. However, if these PDUs are received from a link partner, they are processed. The switch supports generating and receiving Dying Gasp OAM PDUs when Ethernet OAM is disabled, the interface is shut down, the interface enters the error-disabled state, or the switch is reloading. It can respond to, but not generate, Dying Gasp PDUs based on loss of power.

•The switch does not support Ethernet OAM on ports that belong to an EtherChannel.

Enabling Ethernet OAM on an Interface

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable Ethernet OAM on an interface:

Command

Purpose

Step 1

configure terminal

Enter global configuration mode.

Step 2

Enabling Ethernet OAM Remote Loopback

You must enable Ethernet OAM remote loopback on an interface for the local OAM client to initiate OAM remote loopback operations. Changing this setting causes the local OAM client to exchange configuration information with its remote peer. Remote loopback is disabled by default.

Remote loopback has these limitations:

•Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) packets are not looped back.
