    摘要: A system and method for securing an Ethernet Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) domain defined on a Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN). In one embodiment, the scheme includes, responsive to registering by an external port with the VLAN, whereby the VLAN is extended to include the external port, monitoring by a boundary Maintenance End Point (MEP) node of the Ethernet CFM domain to determine if bidirectional control frame flow (e.g., Continuity Check (CC) frame flow) is observed thereat; and, responsive to determining by the boundary MEP node that there is no bidirectional control frame flow therethrough, generating an alarm indicative of a potential breach of the Ethernet CFM domain by the external port.

    摘要: A network environment including a provider network coupled to a first customer network site via a first access link and to a second customer network site via a second access link. The provider network is operable with the IEEE 802.1ag standard for propagating a remote link fault condition via an Ethernet Alarm Indication and Suppression (AIS) frame or a Continuity Check (CC) frame, which is translated into a locally compliant non-IEEE 802.1ag error delivery condition so that a management entity associated with the first customer network site is appropriately alerted.

    摘要: A system and method for propagating fault information in an Ethernet OAM network having multiple levels of OAM domains. An Alarm Indication and Suppression (AIS) frame is generated by a Maintenance Intermediate Point (MIP) node upon detecting a fault condition in a first OAM domain, which is transmitted to one or more Maintenance End Points (MEPs) of the first OAM domain. Upon receiving the AIS frames, the MEP nodes are operable generate another AIS frame for propagating to an adjacent higher level second OAM domain. Responsive to the AIS frame from the lower level first OAM domain, any alarms caused in the second OAM domain due to the fault condition in the first OAM domain are suppressed.

    摘要: A system and method for configuring Maintenance Intermediate Point (MIP) nodes of an Ethernet OAM network based on absolute level indicia as well as relative level indicia encoded in OAM frames generated by Maintenance End Point (MEP) nodes. A first OAM level field in a payload portion of an Ethernet OAM frame is encoded with an absolute OAM level associated with the originating MEP's OAM domain. A second OAM level field is encoded with a relative OAM level indicative of the number of OAM domain levels traversed by the Ethernet OAM frame.

    摘要: A domain configuration system and method operable in an Ethernet OAM network having multiple levels of OAM domains. A port of a first end bridge of the network is configured as a first MEP node belonging to a predetermined OAM domain having a particular level. GARP or CC frames are transmitted from the first MEP node in a forward attribute registration process towards the remaining bridges of the network. A port of a second end bridge of the network is configured as a second MEP node of the predetermined OAM domain. In a backward attribute registration process, GARP or CC frames are transmitted from the second MEP node towards the remaining bridges of the network. Responsive to the frame flow, ports in bridges disposed between the first and second end bridges are automatically configured as MIP nodes having the particular level.

    摘要: Customer virtual local area networks (C-VLANs) connecting multiple LAN segments are set up through a provider network (12). Provider edge bridges (PEs) are coupled to customer edge bridges (CEs) to provide a transparent link between LAN segments. To determine whether a backdoor link is used in the C-VLAN topology, PEs monitor MAC address from a predetermined time after a TCN is received to determine if there are contradictory addresses or new addresses relative to the existing MAC address tables (or forwarding databases) that are indicative of a backdoor link. If so, an unlearning message is sent to bridges in the provider domain. In another embodiment, CEs set a snoop bit to indicate which TCNs must be snooped.
