    Configuring One-Way Ethernet Frame Delay Measurements on Switches (CLI Procedure)

    Ethernet frame delay measurement is a useful tool for providing performance statistics or supporting or challenging service-level agreements (SLAs). You can configure the frame delay measurements in either a one-way mode or a two-way (round-trip) mode to gather frame delay statistics. For one-way Ethernet frame delay measurement, clocks at the local and remote MEPs need to be synchronized. However, clock synchronization is not required for two-way Ethernet frame delay measurement.

    Before you begin configuring one-way Ethernet frame delay measurements on two EX Series switches, ensure that you have:

    • Configured Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) connectivity fault management (CFM) correctly on both the switches
    • Synchronized the system clocks of both the switches

    To configure one-way Ethernet frame delay measurements:

    1. Configure the maintenance domain, maintenance association, and MEP ID on both the switches.
    2. From either switch, start a one-way Ethernet frame delay measurement:

      user@switch> monitor ethernet delay-measurement maintenance-domain md-name maintenance-association ma-name one-way mep remote-mep-id count count wait time

    You can view the result on the other switch:

    user@switch> show oam ethernet connectivity-fault-management delay-statistics maintenance-domain md-name maintenance-association ma-name local-mep mep-id remote-mep mep-id
