Configuring the Maintenance Association MEP List

The MA must have knowledge of the local and remote MEP IDs for the local end-points to recognize the remote end-points. All MEPs in an association must be listed in the association MEP list and the MEP list must be enabled for MEPs to be operational. MEPs are specified as a list of MEP IDs each separated by a comma (“,”) or, if a range of IDs, by a dash (“-”).

Use the mep-list command, in MA configuration mode, to specify the MEPs that are or will be present in the MA. The MEP list is disabled by default. Use the enable option to enable the MEP list. Use the disable option to take a remote MEP out of defect consideration. You might want to disable a remote MEP during pre-provisioning a network, during the period in which all end-points have not yet been set up.

This example shows how to create and enable the MEP list for MEPs 30 through 35, 1000, and 1005 on the myMA1 maintenance association:

System(rw-config)->cfm md string-name myMD1
System(su-config-cfm-md.1)->ma string-name myMA1
System(su-config-cfm-ma.1)->mep-list 30-35,1000,1005 enable
System(su-config-cfm-ma.1)->enable
System(su-config-cfm-ma.1)->
