Configuring One-way Frame Delay Measurement in VLAN Networking

In VLAN networking, the clock frequency between the two ends is synchronized and CFM is enabled to monitor link connectivity. If the unidirectional delay measurement needs to be performed for a link, one-way frame delay measurement can be configured to monitor the quality of the link.

Context

One-way frame delay measurement in a VLAN can be implemented in either of the following modes:
  • On-demand mode: manually collects delay statistics once or a specified number of times during diagnosis.

  • Proactive mode: periodically collects delay statistics.

Procedure

  • Configure on-demand one-way frame delay measurement.

    1. Perform the following steps on the MEP and RMEP:
      1. Run system-view

        The system view is displayed.

      2. Run cfm md md-name

        The MD view is displayed.

      3. Run ma ma-name

        The MA view is displayed.

      4. Run mep mep-id

        The MEP is configured.

      5. Run remote-mep mep-id mep-id

        The remote MEP ID is configured.

      6. Run mep ccm-send enable

        The CCM transmission function is enabled.

      7. Run remote-mep ccm-receive [ mep-id mep-id ] enable

        The CCM reception function is enabled.

      8. (Optional) Run delay-measure one-way threshold threshold-value

        An alarm threshold is set for on-demand one-way frame delay measurement.

    2. Configure the test instance.

      1. On the receiving device of a link where single-ended frame loss measurement will be implemented, run test-idtest-id [ testid-file ]mep mep-id [ 8021p 8021p-value ] [ descriptiondescription ]

        The test instance is configured on the device.

      2. On the transmitting device of a link where single-ended frame loss measurement will be implemented, run test-idtest-id [ testid-file ]mepmep-id [ macmac-address | remote-mepmep-id ] [ 8021p8021p-value ] [ descriptiondescription ]

        The test instance is configured on the device.

    3. On the receiver RMEP, run delay-measure one-way receive test-id test-id-value

      The RMEP is enabled to receive 1DM messages.

    4. On the initiator MEP, run delay-measure one-way send test-id test-id-value interval { 1000 | 10000 } count count-value

      One-way frame delay measurement is configured for a VLAN.

    5. Run commit

      The configuration is committed.

  • Configure proactive one-way frame delay measurement.

    1. Perform the following steps on the MEP and RMEP:
      1. Run system-view

        The system view is displayed.

      2. (Optional) Run y1731 pm-mode enable

        Performance management (PM) to manage Y.1731 proactive performance statistics is enabled. PM saves the statistics to generated statistics files and then sends the files to the NMS.

      3. Run cfm md md-name

        The MD view is displayed.

      4. Run ma ma-name

        The MA view is displayed.

      5. Run mep mep-id

        The MEP is configured.

      6. Run remote-mep mep-id mep-id

        The remote MEP ID is configured.

      7. Run mep ccm-send enable

        The CCM transmission function is enabled.

      8. Run remote-mep ccm-receive [ mep-id mep-id ] enable

        The CCM reception function is enabled.

      9. Use either of the following methods to set alarm thresholds for one-way frame delay.

        1. (Optional) Run delay-measure one-way delay-threshold mep-id mep-id upper-limit upper-limit lower-limit lower-limit

          Lower and upper thresholds are set for one-way frame delay.

        2. (Optional) Run delay-measure one-way threshold threshold-value

          An alarm threshold is set for one-way frame delay.

        The delay-measure one-way delay-threshold and delay-measure one-way threshold commands are mutually exclusive.

      10. (Optional) Run delay-measure one-way variation-threshold mep-id mep-id upper-limit upper-limit lower-limit lower-limit

        Lower and upper thresholds are set for one-way frame jitter.

    2. Configure the test instance.

      1. On the receiving device of a link where single-ended frame loss measurement will be implemented, run test-idtest-id [ testid-file ]mep mep-id [ 8021p 8021p-value ] [ descriptiondescription ]

        The test instance is configured on the device.

      2. On the transmitting device of a link where single-ended frame loss measurement will be implemented, run test-idtest-id [ testid-file ]mepmep-id [ macmac-address | remote-mepmep-id ] [ 8021p8021p-value ] [ descriptiondescription ]

        The test instance is configured on the device.

    3. On the receiver RMEP, run delay-measure one-way continual receive test-id test-id-value

      The receiver is enabled to receive 1DM messages.

    4. On the initiator MEP, run delay-measure one-way continual send test-id test-id-value interval interval-value

      Proactive one-way frame delay measurement is configured in a VLAN.

    5. Run commit

      The configuration is committed.

Checking the Configurations

Run the display y1731 statistic-type oneway-delay [ test-id test-id-value ] [ count count-value ] command on the device that initiates one-way frame delay measurement to check statistics about the delay in unidirectional frame transmission.
