Use Cases

This section presents a few essential use cases for configuring in the ME 1200 Cisco Ethernet Switch Web GUI Interface.

Configuring Y.1731

This use case describes the flow of configurations that are required to configure the Y.1731 feature in the Cisco ME 1200 Web GUI Interface.

Prerequisites for ITU-T Y.1731 Performance Monitoring In a Service Provider Network

  • IEEE-compliant Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) must be configured and enabled for Y.1731 performance monitoring to function.

    Note
    If we are configuring MEP in EVC domain, EVC must be configured. If we are configuring MEP in VLAN domain, VLAN must be created.

Steps to Configure Y1731

    Step 1   To configure ECE, click Configurations > Ethernet Services > ECE. For more information, ECE Control List Configuration.

    Step 2   To configure EVC, click Configuration > Ethernet Services > EVCs. For more information, see EVC Port Configuration



    Step 3   To configure MEP, click Configuration > MEP. For more information, see Maintenance Entity Point

    Step 4   Click on the instance number which is created in the above step to configure MEP parameters.

    Step 5   To configure the Performance Monitoring session and storage, click Configuration > Performance Monitor > Configuration. This enables the session and storage parameters which stores session data in the RAM storage data in the flash respectively. For more information, see Performance Monitor Configuration

    Step 6   To transfer performance monitoring data to a tftp/http server, click Configuration > Performance Monitor > Transfer Mode . For more information, see Performance Monitor Transfer Configuration

    Step 7   To enable Performance Monitoring, click Configuration > MEP > MEP instance > Performance Monitoring. For more information, see Maintenance Entity Point

    Step 8   To enable Fault Management, click Configuration > MEP > MEP instance > Fault Management.For more information, see Maintenance Entity Point

    Configuring RFC2544

    This use case describes the flow of configurations that are required to configure the RFC2544 feature in the Cisco ME 1200 Web GUI Interface.

    Steps to Configure RFC2544

      Step 1   To configure RFC2544, click Configuration > Traffic Test > RFC2544 > Profiles. This option provides an overview of the defined profiles along with options for editing and deleting them and creating new one. For more information, RFC2544 Profile Overview

      Step 2   To disable Port 3 in STP, click Configuration > Spanning Tree > CIST Ports. The STP option allows you to inspect the current STP CIST port configurations and change them. For more information, see STP CIST Port Configuration

      Step 3   To disable LLDP on Port 3, click Configuration > LLDP > LLDP Port Configuration. The LLDP option allows you to inspect and configure the current LLDP port settings. For more information, see LLDP Configuration

      Step 4   To configure VLAN settings, click Configuration > VLAN > VLAN Configuration. For more information on configuring VLANs, see VLAN Configuration

      Step 5   To execute a test run of RFC2455 configuration, click Configuration > Traffic Test > RFC2544 > Reports. For more information, see RFC2544 Report Overview

      Step 6   To configure on a remote nid to Loop, click Configuration > Traffic Test > RFC2544 > Loop. For more information, see TT-LOOP

      Step 7   The loopback must be enabled in the remote end and port should be Active. For more information, see Maintenance Entity Point
