Hello
I am trying to implement Ethernet CFM and I am experiencing some issues when I connect it over my MPLS setup.
Network setup:
PE1 PE2 CE
Interface A - ASR901 <------> MPLS <------> ASR901 <------> ME3400 Interface-B
My PE devices are connected together using xconnects under the service instance sub-configuration.
I have configured MEPs in PE1 and CE as Up (CFM interface configuration done on "customer" facing interfaces, Interface-A and Interface-B)
I can see in the MAC address table of the CE the MEP MAC address from PE1, but my renote mpdb is empty.
However on PE1 I successfully receive the ethernet CFM packets and get entries in my remote mpdb for the configured MEP on the CE.
However I cannot ping the CE from the PE even when I have a remote mpdb entry.
Some outputs from my devices
show ethernet cfm maintenance-points remote

Sending 5 Ethernet CFM loopback messages to CE-MACADDR , timeout is 5 seconds:.....
Success rate is 0 percent (0/5)
However when I ping from my CE to my PE I get successful pings (have to list the MAC address in the ping since I haven't learned the MEP ID).
Using the same MD and MA.
Anyone have any ideas what can be wrong in my configuration? I have also tried to move my MEP from an UP-MEP to a DOWN-MEP (and moving the interface configuration to the interface directly connected to my PE device).
