[j-nsp] oam 802.1ag

[Marlon Duksa]

Hi,
I'm trying to configure  OAM 802.1ag in VPLS and create one MEP (on a ce
interface).
Does anyone know why I'm unable to commit my 802.1ag configuration with this
message:

[edit protocols oam ethernet connectivity-fault-management
maintenance-domain interop maintenance-association 1]
  'mep 11'
    CFM UP MEP sessions on instance vpls1 need 'vlan-id' or 'vlan-tags' to
be configured on that instance
error: configuration check-out failed

{master}[edit]


If I configure vlan-id under my VPLS routing instance, then the CCM packets
are sent over the core (mpls) interfaces with the vlan tags which I clearly
do not want (two mpls labels and then the ccm message encapsulated in
ethernet dot1.q header).

How can I configure oam to send plain ethernet packets without vlan tag?


This is my vpls configuration (on MX960)
Interfaces:
ge-8/2/1 {
    vlan-tagging;
    mtu 1600;
    encapsulation extended-vlan-vpls;
    unit 1 {
        vlan-id 1;
    }

:
admin at mx-re0# show routing-instances vpls1
instance-type vpls;
interface ge-8/2/1.1;
interface ge-5/0/0.1;
interface ge-5/0/1.1;
protocols {
    vpls {
        interface ge-8/2/1.1;
        interface ge-5/0/0.1;
        interface ge-5/0/1.1;
        no-tunnel-services;
        vpls-id 1;
        mesh-group 1 {
            neighbor 2.2.2.2;
        }
        mesh-group 2 {
            neighbor 3.3.3.3;
        }
        mesh-group 3 {
            neighbor 4.4.4.4;
        }
    }


And this is my OAM 802.1ag config:

oam {
    ethernet {
        connectivity-fault-management {
            maintenance-domain interop {
                level 3;
                name-format character-string;
                maintenance-association 1 {
                    continuity-check {
                        interval 1s;
                        loss-threshold 3;
                    }
                    mep 11 {
                        interface ge-8/2/1.1;
                        direction up;
                        remote-mep 21;
                        remote-mep 41;
                        remote-mep 31;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}





Thanks,
