Prerequisites for CFD

For CFD to work correctly, design the network by performing the following tasks:

• Grade the MDs in the entire network, and define the boundary of each MD.

• Assign a name for each MD. Make sure the devices in the same MD use the same MD name.

• Define the MA in each MD according to the VLAN you want to monitor.

• Assign a name for each MA. Make sure that the devices in the same MA in the same MD use the same MA name.

• Determine the MEP list of each MA in each MD. Make sure devices in the same MA maintain the same MEP list.

• At the edges of MD and MA, MEPs must be designed at the device port. MIPs can be designed on devices or ports that are not at the edges.
