Configuring Single-ended SLM in VPLS Networking

To perform packet loss performance measurement on a point-to-multipoint or multipoint-to-multipoint links, deploy single-ended synthetic loss measurement (SLM) to monitor the link quality.

Context

In VPLS networking, single-ended SLM includes on-demand and proactive SLM functions. On-demand single-ended SLM collects single-ended frame loss statistics at one or more specific times for diagnosis. Proactive single-ended SLM collects single-ended frame loss statistics periodically.
  • To collect performance statistics about frame loss on the PW or AC side at a time or periodically, configure on-demand single-ended SLM through the VPLS.

  • To continuously collect performance statistics about frame loss on the PW or AC side, configure proactive single-ended SLM through the VPLS.

Procedure

  • Configure on-demand single-ended SLM.

    • Configure on-demand single-ended SLM on the PW side.

      1. Perform the following steps on the devices at both ends of a PW where on-demand single-ended SLM will be implemented:

        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 map vsi vsi-name

          The MA is bound to a VSI.

        5. Configure a MEP according to Table 1.
