1. Synthetic loss measurement (SLM) is part of the ITU-T Y.1731 standard. It can be used to periodically measure Frame Loss and Forward Loss Ratio (FLR) between a pair of point to point MEPs. Measurements are made between two MEPs that belong to the same domain and MA.

   Configuring an SLM
   To configure an SLM, execute the following commands:

   SUMMARY STEPS
   1. enable

   2. configure terminal operation number

   3. ip sla operation number

   4. ethernet y1731 loss SLM domain domain-name {evc evc-id | vlan vlan-id}{mpid target-mp-id | mac-address-target -address}cos cos{source{mpid source-mp-id | mac-address source-address}}

   5. aggregate interval seconds

   6. availability algorithm{ sliding-window | static-window 1} symmetric

   7. frame consecutive value

   8. frame interval milliseconds

   9. framesize bytes

   10. history interval intervals-stored

   11. owner owner-id

   12. exit

   13. exit

   14. ip sla reaction-configuration operation-number [react {unavailableDS |unavailableSD | loss-ratioDS | loss-ratioSD} ] [threshold-type {average [number -of-measurements] | consecutive [occurences] | immediate} ] [threshold-value upper -threshold lower-threshold]

   15. ip sla logging traps

   16. exit
