Example for Configuring Two-Way Frame Delay Measurement in BD EVPN Networking

This section provides an example for configuring two-way frame delay measurement in BD EVPN networking.

Networking Requirements

As shown in Figure 1, PE1 and PE2 are connected through an EVPN, and CE1 and CE2 are connected to the EVPN through a BD. CFM is configured between each PE and its attached CE and between PEs to monitor link connectivity. To provide high-quality video services, a carrier expects to monitor two-way delay on mobile transport links in real time while monitoring link connectivity so that they can promptly respond to video service quality deterioration.

Interfaces 1 and 2 in this example represent GE 0/1/1 and GE 0/1/2 respectively.


Configuration Roadmap

The configuration roadmap is as follows:
  1. Configure on-demand two-way frame delay measurement for the service path between PEs' AC interfaces to collect frame delay statistics on demand.

  2. Configure proactive two-way frame delay measurement for the service path between PEs' AC interfaces to continuously collect frame delay statistics.

Data Preparation

To complete the configuration, you need the following data:

  • EVPN instance name, RT value, and RD value on each PE

  • Names of the MD and MA between PE1 and PE2 and between CE1 and PE1 for configuring basic CFM functions

Procedure

  1. Configure on-demand two-way frame delay measurement for the service path between PEs' AC interfaces.

    1. Configure access to an EVPN through a BD.

      An EVPN is configured between PE1 and PE2. CE1 and CE2 access the EVPN network through a BD. For details, see the Configuring BD-EVPN Functions or configuration files in this configuration example.

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

      Configure basic Ethernet CFM functions on each PE. Specify the Ethernet CFM protocol as IEEE Standard 802.1ag-2007. Create an MD named md1 and an MA named ma1, and bind the MA to the BD.

      # Configure PE1.

    3. Configure PE2 to receive DMMs.

      # Configure PE2.

      [*PE2-md-md1-ma-ma1] delay-measure two-way receive test-id 1
      [*PE2-md-md1-ma-ma1] quit
      [*PE2-md-md1] quit
      [*PE2] commit
    4. Enable on-demand two-way frame delay measurement for the service path between PEs' AC interfaces on the EVPN.

      # Configure PE1.

      [*PE1-md-md1-ma-ma1] delay-measure two-way send test-id 1 interval 1000 count 20
      [*PE1-md-md1-ma-ma1] quit
      [*PE1-md-md1] quit
      [*PE1] commit
    5. Verify the configuration.

      Run the display y1731 statistic-type command on PE1 to check statistics about two-way frame delay.

  2. Configure proactive two-way frame delay measurement for the service path between PEs' AC interfaces.

    To continuously collect frame delay statistics on the service path between PEs' AC interfaces, configure proactive two-way frame delay measurement.

    1. Configure a test instance.

      # Configure PE1.

      [~PE1] cfm md md1
      [*PE1-md-md1] ma ma1
      [*PE1-md-md1-ma-ma1] test-id 2 mep 1
      [*PE1-md-md1-ma-ma1] commit

      # Configure PE2.

      [~PE2] cfm md md1
      [*PE2-md-md1] ma ma1
      [*PE2-md-md1-ma-ma1] test-id 2 mep 2 remote-mep 1
      [*PE2-md-md1-ma-ma1] commit
    2. Configure PE1 to receive DMMs.
      [~PE1-md-md1-ma-ma1] delay-measure two-way receive test-id 2
      [*PE1-md-md1-ma-ma1] quit
      [*PE1-md-md1] quit
      [*PE1] commit
    3. Enable proactive two-way frame delay measurement on the EVPN.

      # Configure PE2.

      [~PE2-md-md1-ma-ma1] delay-measure two-way continual send test-id 2 interval 30000
      [*PE2-md-md1-ma-ma1] quit
      [*PE2-md-md1] quit
      [*PE2] commit
    4. Verify the configuration.

      Run the display y1731 statistic-type command on PE2 to view statistics about two-way frame delay.

      [~PE2] display y1731 statistic-type twoway-delay
      Latest two-way delay statistics of test-id 2:
      --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Index    Delay(usec)    Delay variation(usec)
