Example for Configuring Single-ended SLM in VPLS Networking

This section provides an example for configuring single-ended synthetic frame loss measurement (LM) in virtual private LAN service (VPLS) networking.

Networking Requirements

As networks rapidly develop and applications diversify, various value-added services, such as Internet Protocol television (IPTV), video conferencing, and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), are more widely used than ever before. Any link connectivity fault or network performance deterioration directly affects service quality on a live network, making performance monitoring on the pipes that transmit these services absolutely essential.

On the point-to-multipoint network shown in Figure 1, a carrier wants to collect accurate performance statistics about LM on the link between PE1 and PE2. To monitor network performance in real time, the carrier can configure single-ended SLM on the VPLS network. This configuration allows the carrier to immediately adjust the network in case of voice 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 single-ended on-demand SLM on a PW between provider edges (PEs).

  2. Configure single-ended proactive SLM on a PW between PEs.

Data Preparation

To complete the configuration, you need the following data:

  • Layer 2 virtual circuit (L2VC) ID

  • Names of the maintenance domain (MD) and maintenance association (MA) in which CE1, PE1, and PE2 reside

Procedure

  1. Configure single-ended on-demand SLM on a PW between PEs.

    1. Configure a VPLS.

      Configure a VPLS between PE1 and PE2. For configuration details, see "VPLS Configuration" in Configuration Guide - VPN in this section.

      After the preceding configuration is complete, run the display vsi command on each PE to view VC and attachment circuit (AC) information. The following example uses the command output on PE1.

    2. Configure basic Ethernet connectivity fault management (CFM) functions and set the maintenance association end point (MEP) type to 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 VPLS.
