(2) About Settings in VLAN Tunneling Configuration
When using the CFM functionality in a VLAN tunneling network, divide the domain for the VLAN tunneling network into an inside part and an outside part so that you can manage the resulting networks separately. Note, however, that some parts of the CFM functionality have restrictions on use depending on the locations where the domain is configured. The following table describes the restrictions on functionality according to where the domains are configured.

(a) When using CFM inside VLAN tunneling network and outside VLAN tunneling network
The following figure shows an example of using the CFM functionality inside and outside the VLAN tunneling network.
|
In domain level 1 inside the VLAN tunneling network, you can configure MPs anywhere on the VLAN tunneling network. At domain level 6 outside the VLAN tunneling network, you can configure MPs only on switches outside the VLAN tunneling network. You cannot configure MPs for domain level 6 inside the VLAN tunneling network. Management inside the VLAN tunneling network is performed at domain level 1.
In addition, in domain level 6 outside the VLAN tunneling network, you cannot use the linktrace functionality through a VLAN tunnel.
(b) When using CFM only within VLAN tunneling network
The following figure shows an example of using the CFM functionality only inside the VLAN tunneling network.
|
In domain level 1 inside the VLAN tunneling network, you can configure MPs anywhere on the VLAN tunneling network. You can use the CFM functionality in the domain.
(c) When using CFM only outside VLAN tunneling network
The following figure shows an example of using the CFM functionality only outside the VLAN tunneling network.
|
At domain level 6 outside the VLAN tunneling network, you can configure MPs only on switches outside the VLAN tunneling network. You cannot configure MPs for domain level 6 inside the VLAN tunneling network. You can use the CFM functionality in the domain.
