Topology
IXIA-----------Juniper PE------------P------------------CiscoME6524 (gig port running Xconnect).
This is with refrence to the above topology, I want to run xconnect from Cisco to juniper. On the same port where I am running xconnect is it possbile to run cfm in up MEP direction. Does this box support up MEP in Eompls port if so could you please guide me the configuration.

Refer to the above link. it shows that this box supports cfm, in CCO I could not find any doccuments relating to configuration of cfm in eompls port of ME6524. normally it has to support up MEP in Eompls port.
Q. Does the Cisco ME 6524 support Ethernet Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (E-OAM) protocols?
A. Yes. Starting from 12.2(33)SXH, the Cisco ME 6524 supports the IEEE 802.1ag and IEEE 802.3ah E-OAM protocols. The 802.1ag Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) provides end-to-end per service (VLAN or Ethernet Virtual Circuit) connectivity management and fault isolation. 802.3ah Ethernet Link OAM operates on point-to-point and offers OAM discovery, link monitoring, and remote failure indication. IEEE 802.1ag and 802.3ah on the Cisco ME 6524 complement the E-OAM protocols offered by the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series, thus providing an end-to-end management and monitoring solution for Carrier Ethernet services.
