Configuring a Continuity Check

You can perform a consecutive check (CC) on Ethernet services to check the connectivity of services for locating and handling faults.

Prerequisites

  • The MEP maintenance point must be created.

Background Information

  • During the CC check, the source MEP constructs and transmits CC frames periodically. The destination MEP receives the CC frames and starts the CC check. If the destination MEP does not receive the CC frames from the source within a specified period of time (for example, 3.5 times the transmit period), the MEP automatically reports the EX_ETHOAM_CC_LOS alarm.

  • Performing a CC check does not affect the service.

Procedure

  1. In the NE Explorer, click an Ethernet board and choose Configuration > Ethernet Maintenance > Ethernet Service OAM from the Function Tree.
  2. Select the node that you want to monitor, click OAM Operation and select Activate CC.
