(Optional) Enabling CFM

To suppress unidirectional multicast and unknown unicast packets, enable CFM for PBB VPLS.

Context

In PBB VPLS, SPEs broadcast unidirectional multicast and unknown unicast packets to all VSIs in a VPLS domain. To suppress unidirectional multicast and unknown unicast packets, enable CFM for PBB VPLS. After CFM is enabled, SPEs can learn the B-SMAC addresses of UPEs and unidirectionally forward unidirectional multicast and unknown unicast packets to UPEs. When network resources are tight, enabling CFM for PBB VPLS is recommended.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run cfm enable

    CFM is enabled globally.

  3. Run vsi vsi-name

    The I-VSI view is displayed.

  4. Run cfm enable

    CFM is enabled for PBB VPLS.

  5. Run commit

    The configuration is committed.
