Create a Maintenance Intermediate Point
Maintenance Intermediate Point (MIP) is a logical entity configured at a port of a switch that constitutes
intermediate points of an Maintenance Entity (ME). An ME is a point-to-point relationship between two
MEPs within a single domain. An MIP is not associated with any MA or service instance, and it belongs to
the entire MD.
MP Databases
CFM maintains two MP databases:
• MEP Database (MEP-DB): Every MEP must maintain a database of all other MEPs in the MA that
have announced their presence via CCM.
