Troubleshooting CFM Features

Configuring the CFM over EFP Interface with Cross Connect Feature

Ethernet Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) is an end-to-end per-service-instance Ethernet layer OAM protocol that includes proactive connectivity monitoring, fault verification, and fault isolation. Currently, Ethernet CFM supports Up facing and Down facing Maintenance Endpoints (MEPs). For information on Ethernet Connectivity Fault Management, see http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_2sr/12_2sra/feature/guide/srethcfm.html

The CFM over EFP Interface with xconnect feature allows you to:

•Forward continuity check messages (CCM) towards the core over cross connect pseudowires.

•Receive CFM messages from the core.

•Forward CFM messages to the access side (after Continuity Check Database [CCDB] based on maintenance point [MP] filtering rules).

Restrictions and Usage Guidelines

When configuring CFM over EFP Interface with cross connect, follow these restrictions and usage guidelines:

•Only a single down-facing MEP is allowed on the L2VFI.

•As the number of PEs in a VPLS instance scale up, the number of CFM CC messages processed increases. Accordingly, the configuration of the down-facing MEP on L2VFI for large fully meshed PW topologies should be considered for only premium valued networks.

•In the design of CFM domains, the maintenance level of an Down-facing MEP on the L2VFI interface must be lower than the level from the AC.

•Up MEP, Down MEP, and MIPs are supported.

•Offloaded CFM Up MEP sessions are not supported when using E type interface in an EFP using encapsulation command.

Configuring CFM over EFP Interface with xconnect—Port Channel-Based xconnect Tunnel

Use the following commands at the customer facing port:

SUMMARY STEPS

1. enable

2. configure terminal

3. interface type slot/subslot/port

4. service instance id {Ethernet [service-name]}

5. encapsulation untagged | dot1q {any | vlan-id[vlan-id[vlan-id]]} second-dot1q {any |vlan-id[vlan-id[vlan-id]]}

6. rewrite ingress tag {push {dot1q vlan-id | dot1q vlan-id second-dot1q vlan-id | dot1ad vlan-id dot1q vlan-id} | pop {1 | 2} | translate {1-to-1 {dot1q vlan-id | dot1ad vlan-id}| 2-to-1 dot1q vlan-id | dot1ad vlan-id}| 1-to-2 {dot1q vlan-id second-dot1q vlan-id | dot1ad vlan-id dot1q vlan-id} | 2-to-2 {dot1q vlan-id second-dot1q vlan-id | dot1ad vlan-id dot1q vlan-id}} [symmetric]

7. xconnect peer-ip-address vc-id {encapsulation {l2tpv3 [manual] | mpls [manual]} | pw-class pw-class-name }[pw-class pw-class-name] [sequencing {transmit | receive | both}]

8. cfm mep domain domain-name mpid mpid-value [cos cos-value]

DETAILED STEPS
Command

Purpose
Step 1
enable

Example:
Router# enable
Enables privileged EXEC mode.

•Enter your password if prompted.
Step 2

configure terminal

Example:

Router# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 3

interface gigabitethernet slot/sub- slot/port

Example:

Router(config)# interface Port-channel 1

Specifies the Gigabit Ethernet interface to configure, where:

slot/subslot/port—Specifies the location of the interface.

Step 4

service instance id Ethernet [ser- vice-name]

Example:

Router(config-if)# service instance 101 ethernet

Creates a service instance (an instance of an EVC) on an interface and sets the device into the config-if-srv submode.

Step 5

encapsulation untagged dot1q {any | vlan-id[vlan-id[vlain-id]]} sec- ond-dot1q {any | vlan-id[vlan-id[vlan-id]]}

Example:

Router(config-if-srv)# encapsulation dot1q 20 second-dot1q 30

Configures the encapsulation. Defines the matching criteria that maps the ingress dot1q, QinQ, or untagged frames on an interface for the appropriate service instance.

Step 6

rewrite ingress tag {push {dot1q vlan-id | dot1q vlan-id second-dot1q vlan-id | dot1ad vlan-id dot1q vlan-id} | pop {1 | 2} | translate {1-to-1 {dot1q vlan-id | dot1ad vlan-id}| 2-to-1 dot1q vlan-id | dot1ad vlan-id}| 1-to-2 {dot1q vlan-id second-dot1q vlan-id | dot1ad vlan-id dot1q vlan-id} | 2-to-2 {dot1q vlan-id second-dot1q vlan-id | dot1ad vlan-id dot1q vlan-id}} [symmetric]

Example:

Router(config-if-srv)# rewrite ingress tag pop 2 symmetric

Specifies the tag manipulation that is to be performed on the frame ingress to the service instance.

Step 7

xconnect peer-ip-address vc-id {encap- sulation {l2tpv3 [manual] | mpls [manu- al]} | pw-class pw-class-name }[pw-class pw-class-name] [sequencing {transmit | receive | both}]

Example:

Router(config)# xconnect 1.1.1.1 100 pw-class vlan-xconnect

Binds an attachment circuit to a pseudowire, and configures an Any Transport over MPLS (AToM) static pseudowire.

Step 8

cfm mep domain domain-name [up | down] mpid mpid-value [cos cos-value]

Example:

Router# cfm mep up mpid 100 domain Core

Configures a maintenance endpoint (MEP) for a domain.
Examples

This example shows how to configure CFM over EFP Interface with Port Channel-Based xconnect Tunnel:
PE3(config)#ethernet cfm domain L2 level 2
PE3(config-ecfm)# service s256 evc 256 direction down
PE3(config-ecfm-srv)#  continuity-check
PE3(config-ecfm-srv)#end
PE3#
PE3(config)#int port-20
PE3(config-if)#no ip address 
PE3(config-if)# service instance 256 ethernet 256
PE3(config-if-srv)#  encapsulation dot1q 256
PE3(config-if-srv)#  xconnect 1.1.1.1 1 encapsulation mpls
PE3(cfg-if-ether-vc-xconn)#  cfm mep domain L6 mpid 256
PE3(config-if-srv-ecfm-mep)#end

Troubleshooting CFM Features

provides troubleshooting solutions for the CFM features.
Table 1 Troubleshooting Scenarios for CFM Features
Problem

Solution

When you configure CFM, the message "Match registers are not available" is displayed.

Use the show platform mrm info command on the SP console to verify the match registers. Based on the derived output, perform these tasks:

1. Check if the line card supports the CFM feature.

2. Enable CFM across the system to allow co-existence with other protocols.

3. Ensure that no CFM traffic is present in any supervisor or ports.

4. Configure STP mode to Multiple Spanning Tree (MST) and re-enable CFM or disable CFM completely.

For more information on match registers, see Ethernet Connectivity Fault Management at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_2sr/12_2sra/feature/guide/srethcfm.html.

CFM uses two match registers to identify the control packet type and each VLAN spanning tree also uses a match register to identify its control packet type. For both protocols to work on the same system, each line card should support three match registers, and at least one supporting only a 44 bit MAC match.

CFM configuration errors

CFM configuration error occurs when when a MEP receives a continuity check with an overlapping MPID. To verify the source of the error, use the command show ethernet cfm errors configuration or show ethernet cfm errors.

CFM ping and traceroute result is "not found"

Complete these steps:

1. Use show run ethernet cfm to view all CFM global configurations.

2. Use show ethernet cfm location main to view local MEPs and their CCM statistics

3. Use show ethernet cfm peer meps command to View CFM CCM received from Peer MEPs.

4. Use trace ethernet cfm command to start a CFM trace.

CFM connectivity is down and issues at the maintenance domain levels

Use the ping ethernet {mac-address | mpid id | multicast} domain domain-name { vlan vlan-id | port | evc evc-name } or traceroute ethernet {mac-address | mpid id } domain domain-name { vlan vlan-id | port | evc evc-name } commands to verify ethernet CFM connectivity. Share the output with TAC for further investigation.
Loop trap error
Use the show ethernet cfm error command to check for Loop Trap errors as shown here:
CE(config-if)#do sh ethernet cfm err

Module has insufficient match registers

Complete these steps:

1. Verify and confirm if a unsupported line card is inserted into the router.

2. If yes, perform an OIR of the unsupported line card.

CFM is deactivated

Complete these steps:

1. Check if all the line cards have free match reagisters.

2. Check if CFM is activated on supervisor cards. CFM is not supported on supervisor cards that has two match registers. In this scenario, CFM is automatically disabled on the SUP ports and enabled on the remaining line cards.
