Configure CFM Nodal MEP
Before you begin
You must configure a CFM MD, MA, and MEP.
About this task
Use this procedure to configure the CFM nodal Maintenance Endpoint (MEP). 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 Maintenance Intermediate Point (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.
Procedure
- In the navigation pane, expand .
- Select VLANs.
- Select the Advanced tab.
- Select a VLAN with a type of spbm-bvlan.
- Select Nodal.
- In NodalMepList, specify the nodal MEPs to add to the VLAN.
- Select Apply.
