Configuring a Maintenance End Point
To create an Ethernet OAM Maintenance End Point (MEP), use the ethoam endpoint command. For
example, to create UP MEP 100 in domain “esd.ale.com” of the “ale-sales” Maintenance Association on
port 1/2 of VLAN 400, enter:
-> ethoam end-point 100 domain esd.ale.com association ale-sales direction up
port 1/2 primary-vlan 400
To remove a MEP, use the no form of this command. For example:
-> no ethoam end-point 100 domain esd.ale.com association ale-sales
To configure the administrative state of a MEP, use the ethoam endpoint admin-state command. For
example:
-> ethoam end-point 100 domain esd.ale.com association ale-sales admin-state
enable
Configuring a Virtual Maintenance End Point
Virtual UP MEP is an UP MEP that is created on a 'virtual' port. This port is neither a physical port nor a
logical port. This port is not connected to any switch interface. The virtual MEP will not transmit port and
interface status TLVs.
The use of Virtual MEP allows to create a MEP on a virtual port thus saving the use of physical port.
To configure a virtual MEP, use the ethoam endpoint command. For example, to create UP MEP 100 in
domain “esd.ale.com” of the “ale-sales” Maintenance Association on a virtual port of VLAN 400, enter:
-> ethoam end-point 100 domain esd.ale.com association ale-sales direction up
port virtual primary-vlan 400
Note the following when configuring the virtual MEP:
• A virtual MEP shall only be configured as an UP-MEP.
• Virtual MEP can be configured in any valid level.
• The virtual MEP is configured on a virtual port and not attached to any switch interface.
• Only one virtual MEP can be configured per switch.
• The behavior of virtual MEP will be the same as that of the MEPs created on physical ports.
• The Remote Fault Propagation feature is not supported for virtual UP MEP.
Configuring MEP Attributes
To configure the MEP to generate Continuity Check Messages (CCM), use the ethoam endpoint ccm
command. For example:
-> ethoam end-point 100 domain esd.ale.com association ale-sales ccm enable
To configure the priority values for Continuity Check Messages and Linktrace Messages transmitted by a
MEP, use the ethoam endpoint priority command. For example:
-> ethoam end-point 100 domain esd.ale.com association ale-sales priority 6
