To create a MIP on a VPLS SDP binding

Purpose

This procedure is applicable to both VPLS spoke and mesh SDP bindings. You can also create an SDP binding MIP from the service topology view.

Note: You cannot configure MIPs on SPB-enabled SDP bindings. See SPB in VPLS in VPLS management overview for more information about SPB.

Steps
 

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


Choose a VPLS and click Properties. The VPLS Service (Edit) form opens.


Click on the OAM tab, then the Tests sub-tab, then the CFM Global MEG sub-tab.


Select a Global MEG or refer to To configure an Ethernet CFM MD policy and subordinate objects to create one.

Note: A Global MEG suitable for MIP creation on an SDP binding has a couple of specific requirements. When creating a Global MEG in To configure an Ethernet CFM MD policy and subordinate objects , on the General tab you must set the Initial MHF-Creation parameter to default. On the Service you create there, the MIP(s) Creation on SDP Bindings parameter in the Auto-Creation of MIP(s) panel must also be enabled.


On the service tree, expand Sites→site→Mesh|Spoke SDP Bindings.


Right-click on the mesh or spoke SDP binding you need to configure and choose Properties. The [Mesh|Spoke] SDP Binding (Edit) form opens.


Click on the OAM tab, then the ETH-CFM sub-tab.


To configure a MIP, enable the MIP parameter and configure the MIP MAC Address parameter in the MIP Configuration panel.

Note: If the MIP is later disabled and subsequently re-enabled, the MIP MAC Address will return to a default value on the NE.


To view MIPs on the SDP binding, click Resync MIPs and then Search in the MIPs panel.
