Ethernet CFM CCM/DMM over Pseudowire Inter-Op
Overview
In the example topology below two pseudowires are configured between the Huawei CX600 device and Cisco ASR9904 device (one of them is a backup pseudowire). The Alcatel / Nokia SR-7750 is acting as a pseudowire stitching PE.
+---------------+ +-----------------+ +-----------------+

+---------------+ +-----------------+ +--------+--------+

CFM domain 1 exists between the ASR9904 and the 7750 (one of the two stitched pseudowires), and it exists between the 7750 and the CX600 (the other of the two stitched pseudowires). Domain 2 exists between the ASR9904 and the CX600 (the two endpoints of the end-to-end pseudowire service). This allows for domain 1 CCM messages to be sent to check connectivity separately for each half of the stitched pseudowire service and for domain 2 CCM messages to be sent to check the end-to-end pseudowire service.
The CFM topology is shown in the diagram below:

+----------------------------------------------------+
Domain 2
The configuration implemented sends CCM messages from the ASR9904 to SR15 and ME1 every 1 minute. However, it is also possible to manually "ping" the devices at any time using DMR/DMR or LMR/LMM messages (depending on what the device supports).

CFM Domain 1 / Level 1
On the 7750 stitching-PE it can be seen that the MEP ID (1) and MAC address (6c:8b:d3:3f:e2:95) of the ASR9904 has been learnt at domain 1 / level 1 over the active pseudowire:

On the ASR9904 it can be seen that the remote MEP (2) and MAC address (0c:a4:02:1c:78:01) of the 7750 have been learnt at domain 1 / level 1 over the active pseudowire:

The 7750 is able to “ping” the ASR9904 over the active pseudowire using the remote MEP ID or MAC address. The “oam eth-cfm two-way-delay-test” command uses CFM DMRs/DMMs:
*A:sr15 # oam eth-cfm two-way-delay-test 6c:8b:d3:3f:e2:95 mep 2 domain 1 association 212

The ASR9904 is able to “ping” the 7750 over the active pseudowire using the remote MEP ID or MAC address. The “ping ethernet cfm” command uses CFM LBRs/LBMs:
