19-8 Cisco Prime Network 4.3.2 User Guide Chapter 19 Managing Ethernet Networks Using Operations, Administration, and Maintenance Tools Viewing Ethernet LMI Properties Table 19-5 describes the information presented for remote MEPs. Viewing Ethernet LMI Properties Ethernet Local Management Interface (E-LMI) is a protocol that operates between the customer edge (CE) network element and the provider edge (PE) network element. Ethernet LMI is a protocol between the CE network element and the provider edge (PE) network element. It runs only on the PE-CE UNI link and notifies the CE of connectivity status and configuration parameters of Ethernet services available on the CE port. Ethernet LMI interoperates with an OAM protocol, such as CFM, that runs within the provider network to collect OAM status. CFM runs at the provider maintenance level. Ethernet LMI relies on the OAM Ethernet Infrastructure (EI) to work with CFM for end-to-end status of EVCs across CFM domains. E-LMI commands are described in Configuring E-LMI, page 19-18. The IOS OAM manager stream4.3.2 interaction between OAM protocols, and handles the interaction between CFM and E-LMI. Ethernet LMI interaction with the OAM manager is unidirectional, running only from the OAM manager to E-LMI on the U-PE side of the switch. Information is exchanged either as a result of a request from E- LMI or triggered by the OAM manager when it receives notification of a change from the OAM protocol. Information that is relayed includes the EVC name and availability status, remote UNI name and status, and remote UNI counts. To view Ethernet LMI properties: Step 1In the Vision client, double-click the device configured for Ethernet LMI. Step 2In the Inventory window, choose Logical Inventory > Ethernet LMI. Figure 19-6 shows an example of Ethernet LMI properties in logical inventory. Table 19-5 CFM Remote Maintenance End Points Table Field Description MEP ID Remote MEP identifier. Level Level at which the remote MEP is managed: 0-7. Status Status of the remote MEP, such as MEP Active. MAC Address MAC address of the remote MEP. Local MEP ID Numeric identifier assigned to the local MEP. Values range from 1 to 8191. NoteIf the remote MEP is in Up mode, the remote MEP is not associated to the local MEP. As a result, the Local MEP ID column is empty.

19-11 Cisco Prime Network 4.3.2 User Guide Chapter 19 Managing Ethernet Networks Using Operations, Administration, and Maintenance Tools Viewing Link OAM Properties Step 4To view properties for an Ethernet LMI interface in physical interface, click the required interface name in the ELMI Interfaces table. Table 19-8 describes the information displayed in the UNI Properties area in physical inventory. Viewing Link OAM Properties Link OAM is an optional sublayer implemented in the OSI Data Link Layer between the Logical Link Control and MAC sublayers. Link (802.3AH) OAM (L-OAM) can be implemented on any full-duplex point-to-point or emulated point-to-point Ethernet link. The frames (OAM Protocol Data Units [OAMPDUs]) cannot propagate beyond a single hop within an Ethernet network and have modest bandwidth requirements (frame transmission rate is limited to a maximum of 10 frames per second). Link OAM processes include: Discovery—Discovery is the first Link OAM process. During discovery, Link OAM identifies the devices at each end of the link and learns their OAM capabilities. Link monitoring—Link OAM link monitoring includes: –Monitoring links and issuing notifications when error thresholds are exceeded or faults occur. UNI Interfaces Table UNI Id UNI identifier. UNI Status Status of the UNI: Up or Down. LMI Link Status Status of the LMI link: Up or Down. Interface Name Interface on which UNI is configured. Is UNI Local Whether or not UNI is local: True or False. Local Interface Hyperlinked entry to the interface in physical inventory. VLAN List Name of the VLAN associated with the UNI interface. Table 19-7 Device EVC Properties in Logical Inventory (continued) Field Description Table 19-8 Ethernet LMI UNI Properties in Physical Inventory Field Description Service Multiplexing Enabled Whether or not the interface is configured for UNI multiplexing: True or False. Bundling Enabled Whether or not the interface is configured for UNI bundling: True or False. UNI Id UNI identifier. Bundling Type Type of bundling applied: All-to-One or None. This field appears only when a bundling type is set.
19-12 Cisco Prime Network 4.3.2 User Guide Chapter 19 Managing Ethernet Networks Using Operations, Administration, and Maintenance Tools Viewing Link OAM Properties –Collecting statistics on the number of frame errors (or percent of frames that have errors) and the number of coding symbol errors. Remote MIB Variable Retrieval—Provides 802.3ah MIB polling and response. Remote Failure indication—Informs peers when a received path goes down. Because link connectivity faults caused by slowly deteriorating quality are difficult to detect, Link OAM communicates such failure conditions to its peer using OAMPDU flags. The failure conditions that can be communicated are a loss of signal in one direction on the link, an unrecoverable error (such as a power failure), or some other critical event. Remote Loopback—Puts the peer device in (near-end) intrusive loopback mode using the OAMPDU loopback control. Statistics can be collected during the link testing. In loopback mode, every frame received is transmitted back unchanged on the same port (except for OAMPDUs, which are needed to maintain the OAM session). Loopback mode helps ensure the quality of links during installation or troubleshooting. Loopback mode can be configured so that the service provider device can put the customer device into loopback mode, but the customer device cannot put the service provider device in loopback mode. Prime Network supports topology discovery based on Link OAM information and enables you to view Link OAM properties. You can also configure L-OAM using the commands described in Configuring L-OAM, page 19-18. For information on CFM and Ethernet LMI, see Viewing Connectivity Fault Management Properties, page 19-2 and Viewing Ethernet LMI Properties, page 19-8. To view Link OAM properties: Step 1In the Vision client, double-click the device configured for Link OAM. Step 2In the Inventory window, choose Logical Inventory > OAM.
