Configuring service instances

About service instances

Before configuring the MEPs and MIPs, you must first configure service instances. A service instance is a set of service access points (SAPs), and belongs to an MA in an MD.

The MD and MA define the level attribute and VLAN attribute of the messages handled by the MPs in a service instance. The MPs of the MA that carries no VLAN attribute do not belong to any VLAN.

Procedure

  1. Enter system view.

    system-view

  2. Create an MD.

    cfd md md-name [ index index-value ] level level-value [ md-id { dns dns-name | mac mac-address subnumber | none } ]

  3. Create a service instance.

    cfd service-instance instance-id ma-id { icc-based ma-name | integer ma-num | string ma-name | vlan-based [ vlan-id ] } [ ma-index index-value ] md md-name [ vlan vlan-id ]
