To create a MEP on a VPLS SDP binding

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 

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

4 

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

5 

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

6 

Configure the Enable Virtual MEP Filter parameter in the Virtual MEPs panel.

7 

Configure the parameters in the Squelch Ingress Level panel.

Levels must be assigned contiguously from Level 0. If you select a level greater than 0, then all levels lower than the one you chose will automatically be selected.

The Squelch Ingress Levels configured for all the mesh or spoke bindings on a site can be compared in one view when you click on the Mesh SDP Bindings or Spoke SDP Bindings item below a site on the navigation tree. Use the scroll bar to locate the Squelch Ingress Level columns.

8 

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

To create a MEP:

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

  2. Select a MEG in the MEP panel.

  3. Configure the general parameters in the MEP panel.

    For L2 access interfaces on 7210 SAS-R sites, you can create Up MEPs only when the system resource profile is set appropriately. See To configure the global system resource profile on a 7210 SAS or 7250 IXR .

    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.

  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. 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 and configure the required parameters.

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

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

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