  2. Configure the required parameters.

    The Path ID parameter is only configurable when you are creating a new Ethernet tunnel path endpoint.

    The APS Command parameter is only displayed and configurable when you are configuring an existing Ethernet tunnel path endpoint and when the Protection Type parameter you configured in Step 3 is set to G8031 1:1. The associated Perform APS Command button is used to perform the selected command on the path endpoint.

  3. Click on the Properties button in the Ethernet Path panel if you need to view or alter parameters on the Ethernet Path or configure a CFM Test. The Ethernet Path - Properties button is only displayed and selectable when you are configuring an existing Ethernet Tunnel Path Endpoint.

  4. Click on the Port tab to configure a terminating port for a new Ethernet tunnel path endpoint.

  5. Select a terminating port.
