According to one embodiment, a method includes configuring a plurality ports as member ports of a link aggregation group. The method also includes configuring the link aggregation group to communicate management traffic originating from a plurality of maintenance entities communicatively coupled to the link aggregation group communicate carrier traffic originating from other network elements communicatively coupled to the link aggregation group. The method further includes assigning individual maintenance entities of the plurality of maintenance entities to individual physical ports of the link aggregation group in order to balance maintenance traffic among the plurality of physical ports.

According to one embodiment, a method may include detecting an occurrence of a fault for a component of a network element having a maintenance entity provisioned thereon. The method may further include transmitting alarm indication suppression messages to components for which the maintenance entity was configured to transmit alarm indication suppression messages in response to detecting the occurrence of the fault.

According to one embodiment, a method may include a given maintenance end point receiving connectivity fault management (CFM) messages (e.g., CCMs) at the provisioned maintenance level of the maintenance end point. Additionally the method may also include snooping CFM messages at maintenance levels higher the provisioned maintenance level of the given maintenance end point and storing the configuration information necessary for transmitting alarm indication suppression message from the lowest higher-level CFM message snooped across the maintenance end point. The method may further include a timeout of the stored information if transmission of the higher-level CFM messages cease. The method may include snooping these higher-level CFM messages in either direction and also include the ability to display the higher-level CFM information to an operator through a user-interface.

According to one embodiment, a method may include communicating an alarm suppression indication trigger message from a maintenance end point to an alarm indication suppression generator. The method may further include communicating, by the alarm indication suppression generator in response to receiving the alarm indication trigger message, an alarm indication suppression message to at least one flow point that has alarm indication suppression enabled for the maintenance end point such that the alarm indication suppression message is received by at least one other maintenance end point upstream of the maintenance end point.
