Configuring MEPs
About MEPs
CFD is implemented through various operations on MEPs. As a MEP is configured on a service instance, the MD level and VLAN attribute of the service instance become the attribute of the MEP.
Restrictions and guidelines
You can specify an interface as the MEP for only one of the non-VLAN-specific MAs at the same level. In addition, the MEP must be outward facing.
If a MEP in a non-VLAN-specific MA does not receive a CCM message within 3.5 CCM intervals from a remote MEP, the local MEP sets its interface to link down state. This behavior of the local MEP facilitates fast switchover for RRPP or Smart Link.
Prerequisites
Before you configure MEPs, you must configure service instances.
Procedure
Enter system view.
system-view
Configure a MEP list.
cfd meplist mep-list service-instance instance-id
The created MEP must be included in the configured MEP list.
Enter Layer 2 Ethernet interface view or Layer 2 aggregate interface view.
interface interface-type interface-number
Create a MEP.
cfd mep mep-id service-instance instance-id { inbound | outbound }
