Perform one of the following:
-
If you are creating a Global MEG:
-
Right-click on the topology map background and select Create CFM Global MEG. The Global Maintenance Entity Group (Create) form opens. See
To configure an Ethernet CFM MD policy and subordinate objects for information about configuring a Global MEG.
-
When the Global MEG is created, a purple triangular MEP icon appears above each of the SAPs. Right-click on one of the MEP icons associated with the redundant pair of SAPs. The MEP (Edit) form for that SAP opens.
-
Click Properties in the Redundancy panel.
This action automatically populates the Properties page of the redundant partner, creating identical MEPs on both members of the redundant pair. Leave the MEP (Edit) form open.
-
Right-click on the other MEP icon associated with the redundant pair of SAPs. The MEP (Edit) form for that SAP opens.
-
Confirm that the ID and Operational Mac Address parameters in the Redundant MEP panel for both MEPs are identical.
Note:
If the redundant SAPs are in a VPRN or IES service, only the ID parameter will be synchronized between the two SAPs. MAC addresses are not supported for these services.
-
If you are working with an existing Global MEG where a MEP is missing from one of the SAPs in a redundant pair:
-
Right-click on the MEP icon that is present for a SAP in the redundant pair. The MEP (Edit) form for that SAP opens.
-
Enable the Create Redundant MEP check box in the Redundancy panel and click Apply. A new MEP icon appears above the other SAP of the redundant pair.
This action automatically populates the Properties page of the redundant partner which was missing its MEP, thereby creating identical MEPs on both members of the redundant pair. Leave the MEP (Edit) form open.
-
Right-click on the new MEP icon. The MEP (Edit) form for that SAP opens.
-
Confirm that the ID and Operational Mac Address parameters in the Redundant MEP panel for both MEPs are identical.
Note:
If the redundant SAPs are in a VPRN or IES service, only the ID parameter will be synchronized between the two SAPs. MAC addresses are not supported for these services.
