Configuring CFM nodal MEP
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.
Before you begin
• You must configure a CFM MD, MA, and MEP.
Procedure
