A method for setting-up connectivity monitoring of a connection between a first edge node and a second edge node in a network, said method comprising the steps of: extending connection setup procedures used to establish the connection between the first edge node and the second edge node to also provision an Operations, Administration, and Maintenance, OAM, functionality by establishing a first Maintenance End Point, MEP at the first edge node and a second MEP at the second edge node, where the first MEP and the second MEP are used to monitor a health of the connection between the first edge node and the second edge node; sending a first message from the first edge node to the second edge node, where the first message is a Resource Reservation Protocol-Traffic Engineering, RSVP-TE, Path message and contains: - first reachability information in an Ethernet Label, the reachability information comprising a first Destination Media Access Control address, DA MAC, and a first Virtual Local Area Network, VLAN, Identifier, VID of the first edge node over which data plane traffic and Connectivity Check Message, CCM, messages are received, and - a first CCM interval, CI, set by the first edge node, the first CCM interval being comprised in a first Ethernet Connectivity Fault Management, CFM, Type-Length-Value, TLV,; establishing, by the second edge node, the second MEP using the received first reachability information of the first edge node, the first CCM interval, a second DA MAC and a second VID of the second edge node; receiving a second message from the second edge node at the first edge node, wherein the second message is an RSVP-TE Resv message and contains: - second reachability information of the second edge node in a second Ethernet Label, the second reachability information comprising the second DA MAC and the second VID of the second edge node, and - a second Ethernet CFM TLV comprising a second CI set by the second edge node; and establishing, by the first edge node, the first MEP using the received second reachability information of the second edge node, the second CCM interval, the first DA MAC and the first VID of the first edge node. extending connection setup procedures used to establish the connection between the first edge node and the second edge node to also provision an Operations, Administration, and Maintenance, OAM, functionality by establishing a first Maintenance End Point, MEP at the first edge node and a second MEP at the second edge node, where the first MEP and the second MEP are used to monitor a health of the connection between the first edge node and the second edge node; sending a first message from the first edge node to the second edge node, where the first message is a Resource Reservation Protocol-Traffic Engineering, RSVP-TE, Path message and contains: - first reachability information in an Ethernet Label, the reachability information comprising a first Destination Media Access Control address, DA MAC, and a first Virtual Local Area Network, VLAN, Identifier, VID of the first edge node over which data plane traffic and Connectivity Check Message, CCM, messages are received, and - a first CCM interval, CI, set by the first edge node, the first CCM interval being comprised in a first Ethernet Connectivity Fault Management, CFM, Type-Length-Value, TLV,; - first reachability information in an Ethernet Label, the reachability information comprising a first Destination Media Access Control address, DA MAC, and a first Virtual Local Area Network, VLAN, Identifier, VID of the first edge node over which data plane traffic and Connectivity Check Message, CCM, messages are received, and - a first CCM interval, CI, set by the first edge node, the first CCM interval being comprised in a first Ethernet Connectivity Fault Management, CFM, Type-Length-Value, TLV,; establishing, by the second edge node, the second MEP using the received first reachability information of the first edge node, the first CCM interval, a second DA MAC and a second VID of the second edge node; receiving a second message from the second edge node at the first edge node, wherein the second message is an RSVP-TE Resv message and contains: - second reachability information of the second edge node in a second Ethernet Label, the second reachability information comprising the second DA MAC and the second VID of the second edge node, and - a second Ethernet CFM TLV comprising a second CI set by the second edge node; and - second reachability information of the second edge node in a second Ethernet Label, the second reachability information comprising the second DA MAC and the second VID of the second edge node, and - a second Ethernet CFM TLV comprising a second CI set by the second edge node; and establishing, by the first edge node, the first MEP using the received second reachability information of the second edge node, the second CCM interval, the first DA MAC and the first VID of the first edge node.
