What Is IEEE802171-CFM-MIB?

IEEE802171-CFM-MIB is the standard IEEE 802.1 Working Group MIB implementing IEEE 802.1ag Connectivity Fault Management (CFM). Its stack table, keyed by interface, records direction, MEP (Maintenance Endpoint) ID, and MAC address, a default-MD-level table records VLAN ID, MHF-creation policy, and level per index, a config-error-list table records VLAN ID, ifIndex, and error type, and an MD (Maintenance Domain) table records format, name, level, and MHF-creation policy. As a configuration/protocol-status MIB it lets an administrator confirm CFM maintenance-domain/endpoint configuration and diagnose configuration errors on an 802.1ag-capable device. It is deployed on network devices implementing IEEE 802.1ag Connectivity Fault Management. Engineers implementing or auditing this functionality typically reference the IEEE802171-CFM-MIB RFC/standard documentation for the authoritative specification.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in IEEE802171-CFM-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

What Can Be Monitored

  • CFM maintenance-domain/endpoint configuration and errors

Supported Devices

  • Network devices implementing IEEE 802.1ag Connectivity Fault Management

Monitoring Examples

An administrator checks dot1agCfmConfigErrorListErrorType to diagnose a CFM configuration error on an IEEE 802.1ag-capable switch.

dot1agNotifications1.0.8802.1.1.3.0
NTF dot1agCfmFaultAlarm1.0.8802.1.1.3.0.1A MEP has a persistent defect condition. A notification (fault alarm) is sent to the management entity with the OID of the MEP that has detected the fault. Whenever a MEP has a persistent defect, it may or may not generate a Fault Alarm to warn the system administrator of the problem, as controlled by the MEP Fault Notification Generator State Machine and associated Managed Objects. Only the highest-priority defect, as shown in Table 20-1, is reported in the Fault Alarm. The management entity receiving the notification can identify the system from the network source address of the notification, and can identify the MEP reporting the defect by the indices in the OID of the dot1agCfmMepHighestPrDefect variable in the notification.

dot1agCfmMdTable1.0.8802.1.1.3.1.4.2not-accessibleThe MaintenanceDomain table. Each row in the table represents a different maintenance domain. A Maintenace domain is described in 802.1ag (3.22) as the network or the part of the network for which faults in connectivity are to be managed. The boundary of a Maintenance Domain is defined by a set of DSAPs, each of which can become a point of connectivity to a service instance.

Referential integrity is required i.e. the index needs to be persistent upon a reboot or restart of a device. The index can never be reused for other maintenance domain. The index value should keep increasing up to the time that they wrap around. This is to facilitate access control based on OID.
NUM dot1agCfmMdFormat1.0.8802.1.1.3.1.4.2.1.2Dot1agCfmMaintDomainNameTyperead-createThe type (and thereby format) of the Maintenance Domain Name.

Each Maintenance Domain has unique name amongst all those used or available to a service provider or operator. It facilitates easy identification of administrative responsibility for each Maintenance Domain. Clause 3.24 defines a Maintenance Domain name as the identifier, unique over the domain for which CFM is to protect against accidental concatenation of Service Instances, of a particular Maintenance Domain.

dot1agCfmMaTable1.0.8802.1.1.3.1.5.3not-accessibleThe Maintenance Association table. Each row in the table represents an MA. An MA is a set of MEPs, each configured with a single service instance. Creation of a Service Instance establishes a connectionless association among the selected DSAPs. Configuring a Maintenance association End Point (MEP) at each of the DSAPs creates a Maintenance Association (MA) to monitor that connectionless connectivity. The MA is identified by a Short MA Name that is unique within the Maintenance Domain and chosen to facilitate easy identification of the Service Instance. Together, the Maintenance Domain Name and the Short MA Name form the Maintenance Association Identifier (MAID) that is carried in CFM Messages to identify incorrect connectivity among Service Instances. A small integer, the Maintenance association End Point Identifier (MEPID), identifies each MEP among those configured on a single MA (802.1ag clauses 3.17 and 18.2). This table uses two indices, first index is the index of the Maintenance Domain table. The writable objects in this table need to be persistent upon reboot or restart of a device.

dot1agCfmMep1.0.8802.1.1.3.1.6
dot1agCfmMepTable1.0.8802.1.1.3.1.6.1not-accessibleThe Maintenance Association End Point (MEP) table. Each row in the table represents a different MEP. A MEP is an actively managed CFM entity, associated with a specific DSAP of a Service Instance, which can generate and receive CFM PDUs and track any responses. It is an end point of a single Maintenance Association, and is an endpoint of a separate Maintenance Entity for each of the other MEPs in the same Maintenance Association (802.1ag clause 3.18). This table uses three indices. The first two indices are the indices of the Maintenance Domain and MA tables, the reason being that a MEP is always related to an MA and Maintenance Domain. The Transmit Loopback table. Entries in this table are created/removed at the same time than entries in the MEP table are created/removed. The MEP table also stores all the managed objects for sending LBM and LTM. *LBM Managed objects LBM Managed objects in the MEP table enables the management entity to initiate transmission of Loopback messages. It will signal the MEP that it should transmit some number of Loopback messages and detect the detection (or lack thereof) of the corresponding Loopback messages. Steps to use entries in this table: 1) Wait for dot1agCfmMepTransmitLbmStatus value to be 'ready'. To do this do this sequence: a. an SNMP GET for both SnmpSetSerialNo and dot1agCfmMepTransmitLbmStatus objects (in same SNMP PDU). b. Check if value for dot1agCfmMepTransmitLbmStatus is 'ready' - if not, wait x seconds, goto step a above. - if yes, save the value of SnmpSetSerialNo and go to step 2) below 2) Change dot1agCfmMepTransmitLbmStatus value from 'ready' to 'notReady' to ensure no other management entity will use the service. In order to not disturb a possible other NMS do this by sending an SNMP SET for both SnmpSetSerialNo and dot1agCfmMepTransmitLbmStatus objects (in same SNMP PDU, and make sure SNmpSetSerialNo is the first varBind). For the SnmpSetSerialNo varBind, use the value that you obtained in step 1)a.. This ensures that two cooperating NMSes will not step on each others toes. 3) Setup the different data to be sent (number of messages, optional TLVs,...). 4) Record the current values of dot1agCfmMepLbrIn, dot1agCfmMepLbrInOutOfOrder, and dot1agCfmMepLbrBadMsdu. 6) Change dot1agCfmMepTransmitLbmStatus value from 'notReady' to 'transmit' to initiate transmission of Loopback messages. 7) Check the value of dot1agCfmMepTransmitLbmResultOK to find out if the operation was sucessfully initiated or not. 8) Monitor the value of dot1agCfmMepTransmitLbmMessages. When it reaches 0, the last LBM has been transmitted. Wait an additional 5 seconds to ensure that all LBRs have been returned. 9) Compare dot1agCfmMepLbrIn, dot1agCfmMepLbrInOutOfOrder, and dot1agCfmMepLbrBadMsdu to their old values from step 4, above, to get the results of the test. 10) Change the dot1agCfmMepTransmitLbmStatus value back to 'ready' to allow other management entities to use the table. *LTM Managed objects The LTM Managed objects in the MEP table are used in a manner similar to that described for LBM transmission, above. Upon successfully initiating the transmission, the variables dot1agCfmMepTransmitLtmSeqNumber and dot1agCfmMepTransmitLtmEgressIdentifier return the information required to recover the results of the LTM from the dot1agCfmLtrTable.

OCT dot1agCfmMepTransmitLtmEgressIdentifier1.0.8802.1.1.3.1.6.1.1.50OCTET STRINGread-createIdentifies the MEP Linktrace Initiator that is originating, or the Linktrace Responder that is forwarding, this LTM. The low-order six octets contain a 48-bit IEEE MAC address unique to the system in which the MEP Linktrace Initiator or Linktrace Responder resides. The high-order two octets contain a value sufficient to uniquely identify the MEP Linktrace Initiator or Linktrace Responder within that system. For most Bridges, the address of any MAC attached to the Bridge will suffice for the low-order six octets, and 0 for the high-order octets. In some situations, e.g. if multiple virtual Bridges utilizing emulated LANs are implemented in a single physical system, the high-order two octets can be used to differentiate among the transmitting entities. The value returned is undefined if dot1agCfmMepTransmitLtmResult is false.

The Next Egress Identifier Identifies the Linktrace Responder that transmitted this LTR, and can forward the LTM to the next hop. This is the same value as the Egress Identifier of the forwarded LTM, if any. If the FwdYes bit of the Flags field is false, the contents of this field are undefined, i.e. any value can be transmitted, and the field is ignored by the receiver.
