delay-measure one-way send

Function

The delay-measure one-way send command configures on-demand one-way frame delay measurement.

By default, on-demand one-way frame delay measurement is not configured in an MA.

Format

delay-measure one-way send mep mep-id { mac mac-address | remote-mep mep-id } interval { 1000 | 10000 } count count-value

Parameters

Parameter Description Value
mac mac-address Specifies the MAC address of an RMEP. -
remote-mep mep-id Specifies the ID of an RMEP. The value is an integer that ranges from 1 to 8191.
interval Specifies the interval at which DM frames are sent. The value is 1000 or 10000, in milliseconds.
count count-value Specifies the one-way frame delay measurement count.
NOTE:

count-value must be configured. There is no default value.

The value is an integer that ranges from 1 to 60.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

On-demand OAM indicates that OAM actions are initiated by manual configuration in a limited period of time. On-demand OAM may cause singular or periodic OAM actions during the diagnostic period. DM frames can be used for on-demand OAM to test the link delay.

One-way frame delay measurement is implemented between two MEPs by exchanging DM frames. A MEP periodically sends DM frames carrying TxTimeStampf. After receiving a DM frame, the RMEP parses TxTimeStampf and compares this value with RxTimef (the time when the 1DM frame was received). The RMEP calculates the one-way frame delay based on these values using the following formula: Frame delay = RxTimef - TxTimeStampf

Prerequisites

The command takes effect only after the following configurations are completed:

  • Run the cfm version standard command in the system view to specify IEEE Standard 802.1ag-2007 for CFM.

  • Run the cfm enable (system view) command to enable CFM globally.

  • Run the cfm md command in the system view to create an MD.

  • Run the ma command in the MD view to create an MA.

  • In a VLAN, outward-facing MEPs are supported. Perform the following operation to create a MEP in the MA view:
    • Run the mep mep-id command with outward specified to create an outward-facing MEP.

If remote-mep mep-id is specified in the delay-measure one-way mep command, the following configurations must be completed:

  • Run the remote-mep command in the MA view to create an RMEP.

  • Run the mep ccm-send enable command in the MA view to enable the local MEP in the MA to send CCMs.

  • Run the remote-mep ccm-receive enable command in the MA view to enable the MEP to receive CCMs from the RMEP in the same MA.

Precautions

  • One-way frame delay measurement can be implemented only after the MEP synchronizes the time with its RMEP.

  • To implement one-way frame delay measurement, specify the RMEP ID or destination MAC address, interval at which DM frames are sent, and measurement count:
    • If the local MEP has not learned the RMEP MAC address, you must specify the destination MAC address for one-way frame delay measurement.

    • If the local MEP has learned the RMEP MAC address, you can specify the RMEP ID for one-way frame delay measurement.

  • 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 configuration changes during on-demand statistics, you can view only the pre-change statistics results. You are advised to run the command for on-demand statistics again for query.

Example

# In a VLAN, enable one-way frame delay measurement and set the destination MAC address to 01-22-33, interval at which DM frames are sent to 10000 ms, and measurement count to 60.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] cfm enable
[HUAWEI] cfm md md1
[HUAWEI-md-md1] ma ma1
[HUAWEI-md-md1-ma-ma1] map vlan 2
[HUAWEI-md-md1-ma-ma1] delay-measure one-way send mep 1 mac 01-22-33 interval 10000 count 60

# In a VLAN, enable one-way frame delay measurement and set the RMEP ID to 2, interval at which DM frames are sent to 10000 ms, and measurement count to 60.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] cfm enable
[HUAWEI] cfm md md1
[HUAWEI-md-md1] ma ma1
[HUAWEI-md-md1-ma-ma1] map vlan 2
[HUAWEI-md-md1-ma-ma1] delay-measure one-way send mep 1 remote-mep 2 interval 10000 count 60
