active time

Function

The active time command sets the RMEP activation time.

The undo active time command deletes the RMEP activation time.

By default, the RMEP activation time is 0 seconds.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

After you run the remote-mep ccm-receive enable command to enable the local device to receive CCMs from an RMEP in the same MA, the local device generates an RMEP connectivity fault alarm in the following situations:

A connectivity fault is detected between the local MEP and the RMEP using CC.
The physical link works normally between the local MEP and the RMEP. The remote device is not configured with a MEP when connectivity check is performed or the MEP configuration is later than connectivity check. In this case, if the local MEP does not receive the CCM from the RMEP in consecutive three intervals for sending CCMs, the local device considers that a connectivity fault occurs between the local MEP and the RMEP.

The RMEP connectivity fault alarm is generated incorrectly. To solve the problem, set the RMEP activation time.

Precautions

IEEE 802.1ag has two versions: IEEE 802.1ag Draft 7 and IEEE Standard 802.1ag-2007. This command can be used only on the device running IEEE Standard 802.1ag-2007.

If the RMEP activation time is set on the local device that is enabled to receive CCMs from a certain RMEP, the local device can receive CCMs at the configured RMEP activation time. That is, the activation time is the time reserved for configuring the RMEP.

At the RMEP activation time, if the local MEP does not receive any CCMs in three consecutive sending intervals, a connectivity fault occurs between the local MEP and the RMEP. Then the local device generates an alarm about the RMEP connectivity fault.

If the local device uses the default RMEP activation time, the local MEP receives CCMs from the RMEP immediately after the local device is enabled to receive CCMs from the RMEP.

The RMEP activation time takes effect only for subsequent RMEPs in an MA, but is invalid for existing RMEPs in the MA.

# Set the RMEP activation time to 30s.
