Example: Configuring One-Way Ethernet Frame Delay Measurements with Single-Tagged Interfaces

This example uses two MX Series routers: MX-1 and MX-2. The configuration creates a CFM down MEP session on a VLAN-tagged logical interface connecting the two (ge-5/2/9 on Router MX-1 and ge-0/2/5 on Router MX-2).

Note: These are not complete router configurations.

Configuration on Router MX-1:

[edit]interfaces {ge-5/2/9 {vlan-tagging;unit 0 {vlan-id 512;}}}protocols {oam {ethernet {connectivity-fault-management {traceoptions {file eoam_cfm.log size 1g files 2 world-readable;flag all;}linktrace {path-database-size 255;age 10s;}maintenance-domain md6 {level 6;maintenance-association ma6 {continuity-check {interval 100ms;hold-interval 1;}mep 201 {interface ge-5/2/9.0;direction down;auto-discovery;}}}}}}}

Configuration on Router MX-2:

[edit]interfaces {ge-0/2/5 {vlan-tagging;unit 0 {vlan-id 512;}}}protocols {oam {ethernet {connectivity-fault-management {traceoptions {file eoam_cfm.log size 1g files 2 world-readable;flag all;}linktrace {path-database-size 255;age 10s;}maintenance-domain md6 {level 6;maintenance-association ma6 {continuity-check {interval 100ms;hold-interval 1;}mep 101 {interface ge-0/2/5.0;direction down;auto-discovery;}}}}}}}

From Router MX-2, start a one-way delay measurement to Router MX-1.

The remote Router MX-1 should also collect the delay statistics (up to 100 per session) for display with mep-statistics or delay-statistics.

Note: When two systems are close to each other, their one-way delay values are very high compared to their two-way delay values. This is because one-way delay measurement requires the timing for the two systems to be synchronized at a very granular level and MX Series routers do not support this granular synchronization. However, two-way delay measurement does not require synchronized timing, making two-way delay measurements more accurate.
