Configuring MIP auto-generation rules
About MIP auto-generation rules
As functional entities in a service instance, MIPs respond to various CFD frames, such as LTM and LBM frames. You can configure MIP auto-generation rules for the system to automatically create MIPs.
Any of the following events can cause MIPs to be created or deleted after you have configured the cfd mip-rule command:
Enabling or disabling CFD.
Creating or deleting MEPs on a port.
Changes occur to the VLAN attribute of a port.
The rule specified in the cfd mip-rule command changes.
Restrictions and guidelines
An MA carrying no VLAN attribute is typically used to detect direct link status. The system cannot generate MIPs for such MAs.
For an MA carrying VLAN attribute, the system does not generate MIPs if the same or a higher level MEP exists on the interface.
Procedure
Enter system view.
system-view
Configure MIP auto-generation rules.
cfd mip-rule { default | explicit } service-instance instance-id
By default, no rules for generating MIPs are configured, and the system does not automatically create any MIP.
