Summary of CFM Configuration Tasks

After basic CFM functions are configured, CFM can work properly. To deploy special CFM functions such as loopback, linktrace, adjusting CFM parameters, and CFM association, perform the configurations according to the following sections. Table 1 describes the CFM configuration tasks.

**Table 1** CFM configuration tasks
Scenario	Description	Task
Configure basic CFM functions	CFM detects connectivity faults on an end-to-end link.	1.6-Configuring Basic Ethernet CFM Functions
Configure loopback	Similar to IP ping, loopback monitors connectivity of a path between a MEP and an RMEP.	1.7-Configuring Loopback
Configure linktrace	Linktrace sends test packets and waits for a response to check whether the destination device is reachable.	1.8-Configuring Linktrace
Set CFM parameters	By adjusting Ethernet CFM parameters, you can better implement end-to-end connectivity fault detection on the Ethernet.	1.9-Setting CFM Parameters
Configure CFM association	CFM can be associated with interfaces and detection protocols to quickly report link faults, ensuring service reliability.	1.10-Configuring CFM Association
