To configure an MC ring peer on one NE
Purpose
Perform this procedure to configure an MC ring peer when only one NE in the MC ring is managed by the NFM-P.
Note: This procedure assumes that you have already configured an MC peer group with an associated MC ring. If only one NE is managed by the NFM-P, you must create these objects from the CLI.
