Function

The ma command creates an MA in an MD and displays the MA view, or directly displays view of an existing MA.

The undo ma command deletes an MA.

MD view, MA view:

ma ma-name [ format { icc-based iccbased-ma-format-name | string ma-format-name } ]

MD view:

undo ma [ ma-name ]

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Value
ma-name	Specifies the name of an MA. The name of an MA in an MD is unique.	The value is a string of 1 to 43 characters without spaces, hyphens (-), and question marks (?). The total length of the names of the MA and MD must be within 44 case-sensitive characters. NOTE: When double quotation marks are used around the string, spaces are allowed in the string.
icc-based iccbased-ma-format-name	Specifies an ICC-based MA name carried in CCMs to be sent. ITU carrier codes (ICCs) are assigned to network operators or service providers and maintained by ITU-T Telecommunication Standardization Bureau (TSB) in compliance with ITU-T M.1400 Recommendation.	The value is a string of 1 to 13 case-sensitive characters without spaces, hyphens (-), and question marks (?).
string ma-format-name	Specifies a string-based MA name carried in CCMs to be sent.	The value is a string of 1 to 43 case-sensitive characters without spaces, hyphens (-), and question marks (?).

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

Generally, services are deployed based on VLANs on a network. If CFM is required to monitor link connectivity, run the ma ma-name command to create an MA. Then CFM can be implemented in the MA.

Prerequisites

An MD has been created using the cfm md md-name command.

Precautions

When an MA is deleted, the device automatically deletes all MEPs and RMEPs in the MA, stops CC, and clears MA-related alarms.
An ICC-based MA can only be configured in the MD with the MD name in no-md-name format.

Example

# Create an MA named ma1.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] cfm enable
[HUAWEI] cfm md md1
[HUAWEI-md-md1] ma ma1
[HUAWEI-md-md1-ma-ma1]
