Example for Configuring One-way Frame Delay Measurement in a VLAN

Networking Requirements

As networks continue to rapidly develop and applications become more and more diversified, various value-added services such as IPTV, video conferencing and VOIP are becoming more widely used. Link connectivity and network performance determine QoS on bearer networks. Therefore, performance monitoring is important for service transmission.

As shown in Figure 1, CFM is configured between CEs. To provide high-quality video services, carriers need to monitor the one-way delay over mobile bearer links in real time, while monitoring link connectivity. Monitoring the one-way delay over mobile bearer links allows the carriers to respond quickly to video service quality deterioration.

Configuration Roadmap

The configuration roadmap is as follows:

Configure on-demand one-way frame delay measurement for the end-to-end link between the CEs to periodically collect statistics about the delay in frame transmission.

Procedure

Configure VLANs.

# Configure CE1.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] sysname CE1
[CE1] vlan 2

[PE2-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] port trunk allow-pass vlan 2
[PE2-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] quit

Configure basic Ethernet CFM functions and specify the MEP type as outward.

Configure basic Ethernet CFM functions on each CE. Specify CFM version as IEEE Standard 802.1ag-2007, create an MD named md3 and an MA named ma3, and bind the MA to the VLAN.

# Configure CE1.

[CE1] cfm enable
[CE1] cfm version standard
[CE1] cfm md md3
[CE1-md-md3] ma ma3
[CE1-md-md3-ma-ma3] map vlan 2
[CE1-md-md3-ma-ma3] mep mep-id 3 interface gigabitethernet 0/0/1 outward
[CE1-md-md3-ma-ma3] mep ccm-send mep-id 3 enable
[CE1-md-md3-ma-ma3] remote-mep mep-id 4
[CE1-md-md3-ma-ma3] remote-mep ccm-receive mep-id 4 enable
[CE1-md-md3-ma-ma3] quit
[CE1-md-md3] quit

# Configure CE2.

[CE2] cfm enable
[CE2] cfm version standard
[CE2] cfm md md3
[CE2-md-md3] ma ma3
[CE2-md-md3-ma-ma3] map vlan 2
[CE2-md-md3-ma-ma3] mep mep-id 4 interface gigabitethernet 0/0/1 outward
[CE2-md-md3-ma-ma3] mep ccm-send mep-id 4 enable
[CE2-md-md3-ma-ma3] remote-mep mep-id 3
[CE2-md-md3-ma-ma3] remote-mep ccm-receive mep-id 3 enable
[CE2-md-md3-ma-ma3] quit
[CE2-md-md3] quit

Verify the CFM configuration.

# Run the display cfm remote-mep command on CE1 and CE2. You can view MEP information.
