mip-policy

Specifies the conditions in which Maintenance Intermediate Points (MIP) are automatically created on ports.

Syntax

mip-policy { explicit | default }

no mip-policy

Command Default

The MIP policy is set to default.

Parameters

explicit: Specifies that explicit MIPs are configured only if a MEP exists on a lower MD Level.
default: Specifies that MIPs are always configured.

Modes

CFM protocol configuration mode .

Usage Guidelines

Use the no mip-policy to reset the values to the default.

A Maintenance Intermediate Point (MIP) can be created on a port and VLAN automatically, but only when either the explicit or default policy has been defined for them. For a specific port and VLAN, a MIP is created at the lowest level. Additionally, the level created should be the next higher than the MEP level defined for the port and VLAN.

Use the explicit parameter to specify that explicit MIPs are configured only if a MEP exists on a lower Maintenance Domain (MD) level.

Use the default parameter to specify that MIPs are always configured.

Examples

Example of the MIP policy command set for explicit when configured for VLAN 30.

device(config-cfm)#domain name md1 level 4
device(config-cfm-md-md1)#ma-name ma1 id 1 vlan-id 30 pri 7
