Command Usage
◆ To avoid generating an excessive number of traps, the complete CFM
maintenance structure and process parameters should be configured prior to
globally enabling CFM processing with this command. Specifically, the
maintenance domains, maintenance associations, and MEPs should be
configured on each participating bridge.
◆ When CFM is enabled, hardware resources are allocated for CFM processing.
Example
