Hi

I have some doubts in IP SLA in case of ethernet-monitor . Can someone
please get my understanding correct . Following are my configs :

ethernet cfm domain TEST level 7
                 service ABC vlan 1000 direction down
                  continuity-check
                 service XYZ vlan 1001 direction down
                  continuity-check
                !
                interface g0/0
                 ethernet cfm mep domain TEST mpid 111 vlan 1000
                 ethernet cfm mep domain TEST mpid 211 vlan 1001
                 no shut
                !
                interface g0/0 .1000
                  encapsulation dot1Q 1000
                !
                interface g0/0 .1001
                  encapsulation dot1Q 1001
                !

ip sla ethernet-monitor 10
 type echo domain TEST vlan 1000
 timeout 8000
 request-data-size 64
!
ip sla ethernet-monitor schedule 10 schedule-period 600 start-time now
!
ip sla ethernet-monitor reaction-configuration 10 react timeout
threshold-type consecutive 3 action--type trapOnly
!

My queries :
==========
1) I assume that IOS will send 64 bytes packets in domain TEST for
vlan 1000 with timeout of 8000 msec <== IS that correct ?
2) If consecutive 3 echoes are missed ; it will generate a Trap ? <==
Is that correct
3) If I dont have a SNMP arrangement with me ( I cant see the trap) is
there a way that I can note that the condition has occured on the IOS
via some CLI ?

4) If i give :

 ip sla ethernet-monitor reaction-configuration 10 react
connectionLoss threshold-type consecutive 3 action-type trapOnly

what connectionLoss is this referring to ?

Best Regards
