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
1 |
Choose Manage→Service→Services from the NFM-P main menu. The Manage Services form opens. |
2 |
Choose a VPLS and click Properties. The VPLS Service (Edit) form opens. |
3 |
Click on the OAM tab, then the Tests sub-tab, then the CFM Global MEG sub-tab. |
4 |
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. |
5 |
On the service tree, expand Sites→site→Mesh|Spoke SDP Bindings. |
6 |
Right-click on the mesh or spoke SDP binding you need to configure and choose Properties. The [Mesh|Spoke] SDP Binding (Edit) form opens. |
7 |
Click on the OAM tab, then the ETH-CFM sub-tab. |
8 |
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. |
9 |
To view MIPs on the SDP binding, click Resync MIPs and then Search in the MIPs panel. |
10 |
Save the changes and close the forms. End of steps |
