Assigning a MEP/MIP Level to an SPBM B-VLAN

Use this procedure to assign a nodal MEP to an SPBM B-VLAN. The Nodal MEP provides traceability and troubleshooting at the system level for a given B-VLAN. The Nodal B-VLAN MEPs created on the CP and function as if they are connected to the virtual interface of the given B-VLAN. Because of this they are supported for both port and MLT based B-VLANs.

Nodal MPs provide both MEP and MIP functionality for SPBM deployments. Nodal MPs are associated with a B-VLAN and are VLAN encapsulated packets. Each node (chassis) has a given MAC address and communicates with other nodes. The SPBM instance MAC address is used as the MAC address of the Nodal MP.

Before you begin

You must configure a CFM MD, MA, and MEP.

Procedure

Add nodal MEPs to the B-VLAN:

vlan nodal-mep <1-4059> WORD<0–22> WORD<0–22> <1–8191>
Display the nodal MEP configuration:

show vlan nodal-mep <1-4059>
Remove the nodal MEPs from the B-VLAN:

no vlan nodal-mep <1-4059> WORD<0–22> WORD<0–22> <1–8191>
Add nodal MIP level to the B-VLAN:

vlan nodal-mip-level <1-4059> WORD<0–15>
Display the nodal MIP level configuration:

show vlan nodal-mip-level [<1-4059>]
Remove the nodal MIP level from the B-VLAN:

no vlan nodal-mip-level <1-4059> WORD<0–15>

Example

Switch:1> enable

Switch:1# configure terminal

Switch:1(config)# vlan nodal-mep 100 md1 ma1 2

Switch:1(config)# show vlan nodal-mep

Variable Definitions

The following table defines parameters for the vlan nodal-mep command.


Variable	Value
`<1-4059>`	Specifies the VLAN ID.
`WORD<0–22>`	The first parameter, specifies the Maintenance Domain name.
`WORD<0–22>`	The second parameter, specifies the Maintenance Association name.
`<1–8191>`	Specifies the nodal MEPs to add to the VLAN.

The following table defines parameters for the vlan nodal-mip-level command.


Variable	Value
`<1-4059>`	Adds the nodal MIP level. Specifies the VLAN ID.
`WORD<0–15>`	Adds the nodal MIP level, which has up to eight levels, ranging from 0 to 7.
