Hi again all ...I hate spamming this forum with so many questions ..here is another
I am trying to test how a switch handles 802.1ag I have enabled it
ehernet cfm enable
ethernet cfm traceroute cache
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst4500/12-2/53SG/configuration/config/E_OAM.html#wp1136255
what i need to figure out or have the forum inform me of is if I run etherping with the MAC of a interface on a device on the other side of the switch i configured for CFM why would the cfm packets hit the configured switches interface and be dropped?
I mirror the ingress port and see the packets there see attached image
since these are control messages once a switch is configured for CFM should it not just pass the packets through if not for its domain since they might contain information about network failures and rerouting ?
