Assign 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.
