Configure Layer 2 IP Ping
Before you begin
On the source and destination nodes, you must configure a CFM MD, MA, and MEP, and assign a nodal MEP to the B-VLAN.
If you want to run a Layer 2 IP Ping for a specific VRF, you must use EDM in the specific VRF context first. For more information, see the procedure for selecting and launching a VRF context view in Select and Launch a VRF Context View.
