This is a drop-down list containing "Create" and all MEP IDs in the MEP table (dot1agCfmMepTable) for the selected MD/MA. There is no default value.

If the total number of MEPs in the system already reaches 63, then either the "Create" option will not be available in the drop-down list or a proper message will be displayed when trying to create a MEP.

The MEP ID information is stored in the dot1agCfmMepTable. The MEP ID is also stored in the dot1agCfmMaMepListTable.
