Embodiment 1

[0087] In this embodiment, the user needs to determine all devices that need to apply the CFM mechanism for connectivity detection according to the network planning in advance, and then divide the corresponding maintenance domain, and determine the maintenance domain level (Level) of the maintenance domain, and the maintenance domain in the maintenance domain. Information such as the maintenance set and the VLAN served by the maintenance set. Then, select a device (hereinafter assumed to be the second device) from all the above-mentioned devices, configure the device as the MEP server, and the device as the MEP server can respond to the specific message sent by the MEP client. Then, configure the MEP on the MEP server according to the complete MEP configuration process in the prior art. All devices except the MEP server are configured as MEP clients. The MEP clients can send specific messages to request the MEP server to deliver corresponding MEP configuration parameters, and ...

Embodiment 2

[0107] In this embodiment, the relevant configuration of the MEP is implemented through four messages exchanged between the MEP client and the MEP server. Using more interactive packets can improve the reliability of MEP configuration

[0108] Similar to Embodiment 1 above, in this embodiment, the first device is an MEP client and the second device is an MEP server as an example for description. Please refer to image 3 , the method for configuring the MEP described in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0109] Step 311, when the first device configured as a MEP client needs to configure its first port as the first MEP, according to the predetermined first VLAN corresponding to the first MEP, the first maintenance domain level, and the first direction, A first request packet carrying the first maintenance domain level is multicast sent in a VLAN.

[0110] Here, the second request packet may be sent multiple times at specific time intervals. When the first direc...

Embodiment 3

[0165] Based on the methods for configuring an MEP provided in the above two embodiments, this embodiment provides an MEP client device and an MPE server device.

[0166] Among them, such as Figure 4 As shown, the MEP client 40 provided in this embodiment includes:

[0167] The first sending unit is configured to, when it is necessary to configure the first port of the device as the first MEP, according to the predetermined first VLAN corresponding to the first MEP, the first maintenance domain level, and the first direction, group in the first VLAN Sending the first request message carrying the first maintenance domain level by broadcast;

[0168] The second receiving unit is configured to receive a second response message carrying MEP configuration parameters returned by the MEP server device, where the MEP configuration parameters include a first MEP identifier, and the first MEP identifier is the After the first request message is received in the first VLAN, an unused M...

Abstract

The invention provides a method and equipment for configuring maintenance end points. By requesting for MEP configuration parameter from MEP server equipment by MEP customer side equipment, the methodand the equipment can automatically configure MEP according to the obtained MEP configuration parameter, thus improving the configuration efficiency of MEP and reducing the work load of manual configuration of MEP.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of Connectivity Fault Management (CFM, Connectivity Fault Management), in particular to a method and device for configuring a Maintenance association End Point (MEP, Maintenance association End Point). Background technique [0002] Due to its advantages of simple deployment and simple maintenance, Ethernet technology has achieved great success in the field of LAN, which has prompted service providers, equipment manufacturers and standardization organizations to advance Ethernet technology to the field of MAN and WAN. However, the main obstacle that Ethernet technology faces when entering the field of operators is the lack of effective maintenance and management tools, so CFM technology emerges as the times require. [0003] CFM is a layer-2 (data link layer) link defined in the IEEE 802.1ag standard, end-to-end, based on virtual local area network (VLAN, Virtual Local Area Network) operation, managem...
