To create MIPs and MEPs on an Epipe or Apipe L2 access interface

Steps
 
1 

Choose Manage→Service→Services from the NFM-P main menu. The Manage Services form opens.

2 

Choose a VLL service and click Properties. The VLL_type Service (Edit) form opens.

3 

On the navigation tree, expand the Sites icon and click the required site. The site's properties form is displayed.

4 

Expand the required site's icon on the navigation tree to show the L2 Access Interfaces.

5 

Click the required SAP and choose Properties. The L2 Access Interface (Edit) form opens.

6 

Click on the OAM tab, then on the Configuration sub-tab.

7 

Configure the required Test Generation Options parameters.

Note: You can propagate test generation role settings to all MEPs on a SAP or service site by clicking Propagate to MEPs.

8 

Click on the ETH-CFM sub-tab.

9 

To add a MIP on a 7210 SAS NE, configure the MIP and MIP MAC Address parameters in the MIP Configuration panel and then go to Step 13 .

If you set the Initial MHF-Creation parameter to default during MEG configuration (see To configure an Ethernet CFM MD policy and subordinate objects ), you must set the MIP parameter to Enabled.

If you set the Initial MHF-Creation parameter to explicit during MEG configuration (see To configure an Ethernet CFM MD policy and subordinate objects ), set the MIP parameter to Disabled.

You can only configure the MIP MAC Address parameter when the MIP parameter is set to Enabled.

10 

To create MIPs:

  1. Click Create in the MIP Configurations panel. The MIP Configuration (Create) form opens.

  2. Configure the parameters, then click OK. The MIP Configuration (Create) form closes

    The Primary VLAN Enable, VLAN ID, and MAC Address parameters are configurable only when a port is assigned to the interface.

  3. Repeat the previous two steps to create additional MIPs, as required.

  4. Click Apply in the L2 Access Interface (Edit) form. The default MD objects are then automatically created on the service site.

  5. Go to the service site's properties form and click the OAM tab and then on the ETH-CFM sub-tab.

  6. Scroll down to the Default Domain panel and multi-select all required entries, then click Properties. The CFM Vlan Default Domain (Multiple Instances) form opens.

  7. Configure the parameters for the selected entries and click OK. The CFM Vlan Default Domain (Multiple Instances) form closes.

  8. Click Apply and then return to the L2 Access Interface (Edit) form.

  9. Scroll down to the MIPs panel and click Resync MIPs. The default Up and Down MIPs that were automatically created by the NE are displayed in the list.

11 

For 7705 SAR NEs, configure the Hold MEPs Up When SAP is Down parameter in the Hold MEP Up on SAP Failure panel.

Note: You can configure the Hold MEPs Up When SAP is Down parameter on only one SAP per node.

12 

To enable a tunnel facility MEP on the L2 access interface, set the Tunnel Fault Notification parameter in the Facility MEPs panel to Accept.

Tunnel Fault Notification is configurable on sites where the device has ports configured in access or hybrid mode with QinQ encapsulation.

13 

To create a MEP:

  1. Click Create in the MEPs panel. The MEP (Create) form opens.

  2. Select a MEG in the Maintenance Entity Group panel.

  3. Configure the parameters in the MEP panel.

    The Type and Interface Type parameters are automatically populated based on whether the MEP is created on a SAP, SDP binding, or Ethernet Tunnel Path Endpoint.

    For 7210 SAS-K NEs, to enable the Primary VLAN Enable parameter, you must enable the Primary VLAN parameter in the system resource profile for the device; see To configure the global system resource profile on a 7210 SAS or 7250 IXR.

  4. Configure the parameters in the CCM panel.

    The CCM Padding Packet Size (Bytes) parameter cannot be configured when the CCM interval parameter is set to 10 ms or 100 ms.

  5. Select a MEG sub-group in the MEG Sub-Grouping panel.

  6. Configure the required Test Generation Options parameters.

    Note: You can only configure Test Generation Options parameters for Epipe access interfaces.

    The Test Generation Options parameters are only displayed when you set the Direction parameter to Up.

  7. If the MD for the MEP has a Maintenance Domain Name Type of none and the associated MEG has a Maintenance Entity group Name Type of icc-based, then the Y.1731 Tests and AIS tabs are configurable. Click on the Y.1731 Tests tab.

  8. Configure the required parameters.

    The Eth Test Pattern parameter is configurable when the Eth Test Enabled parameter is enabled.

  9. Click on the AIS tab and configure the required parameters.

    The AIS Meg Level parameter is configurable when the AIS Enabled parameter is enabled.

  10. Select a MEG sub-group in the MEG Sub-Grouping panel.

  11. Click OK. The MEP (Create) form closes.

14 

Configure the parameters in the Squelch Ingress Level panel.

15 

Configure the parameters on the LMM Session Stats Collection panel as required.

16 

Save the changes and close the forms.
