Etheret OAM.pptVIP

Overview Ethernet OAM based on 802.1ag and Y.1731 OAM main parts and their relations are shown CFM – Connectivity Fault Management LT - Continuity Check LB – Loopback CC - LinkTrace FD - Frame Delay performance FDV - Frame Delay Variation performance FLR - Frame loss Ratio IEEE 802.1ag Main Concept Service Instance A service instance is the Traffic Path which service provider supplied to the customer Service instance can be P2P P2MP MP2MP Maintenance Association (MA) CFM use MA to maintenance the Service Instance In an MA there include MEP and MIP MEP is the Beginning or End of the Service Instance MIP is the intermediate point of the Service Instance IEEE 802.1ag Main Concept Maintenance Domain (MD) 802.1ag divided the network into several MDs, An MD is a part of a network that is controlled by a single operator. MD level is from 0-7 An MD can have several MAs MD can nested, touch but can not intersect. IEEE 802.1ag Main Concept Three function: CCM Continuity Check Message LB LoopBack LT LinkTrace CFM - 802.1ag CC:Continuity Check CFM - 802.1ag CFM - 802.1ag LT:LinkTrace IEEE 802.1ag IEEE 802.1ag- Connectivity Fault Management(CFM) Path discovery Use LT Fault detection Use CCM Fault verification and isolation Use LB or LT Fault notification Use SNMP notification Fault recovery Interworking with other protocol, e.g. STP Maintenance Association End point (MEP) MEP is identified by: ? MD name ? Short MA name ? Interface ? Direction (UP,/Down) ? MEP ID Maintenance Association End point UP MEP: MEP which active interface transmits OAM frames towards the Switch Fabric Down MEP: MEP which active interface transmits OAM frames towards the MEPs port MEPID:MEP Identifier (1-8191) - Identifies the MEP. Unique per MA. MEP DB:Data Base maintained by each MEP about the remote MEPs in the Domain Up/Down MEP Maintenance Association End point (MEP) Periodically transmits CCM Validates received CFM PDUs Discards those CFM PDUs at a lower MD Level Maintains the MEP C
