The CFM module sends multicast CCMs on the interface upon which it's configured. Presumably, multicast/broadcasts packets egressing this interface can reach some set of other hosts on the network. This set can be restricted by using VLANs or other strategies. How this is done precisely, is out of the scope of the CFM module. The important thing is, when the CFM module broadcasts CCMs, all other MPs that these CCMs reach need to have the same transmission interval. >> > 2) along with that I want to know how can I see the current timer value >> > by >> > any show command for particular MPids, I didn' tfind any command for >> > this. >> >> ovs-appctl cfm/show will give you information about currently configured >> CFM. The CFM module doesn't maintain a separate timer for each remote MP. Instead it maintains one timer that triggers at an interval of 3.5 times the transmission interval. When the CFM module receives a CCM from a remote MP, it sets a flag for this remote MP indicating the reception. When the timer triggers, any MPs which are not flagged are considered unreachable and removed. All of this information (the timers, the set of reachable MPs, the reception flag) is available from the ovs-appctl cfm/show command. It's also worth noting that we don't implement the full 802.1ag specification. We implement a much simplified version which maintains the packet format, but is quite a bit less sophisticated than the standard.
