4.4.3 Configuring Management Points (MEPs/MIPs) for 
Ethernet CFM on SDP bindings
Two steps are required to configure the CFM in an EPIPE network:
1 The MD and MA need to be created first
2 The MEP/MIP can be created in the EPIPE service instance, by associating it to 
a SDP binding and adding to the defined MD and MA. The MEP has to be 
specified with the “Domain” and “Association” IDs that have been configured 
already under the configure eth-cfm context (see “Ethernet Connectivity Fault 
Management”).
When creating the MEP, MDs and MAs are associated and in addition, the following 
parameters are required:
• MEP-ID: The ID value used to identify the MEP in the MA. This ID value must be 
listed in the remote-MEP-ID list in the MA configuration of the other PE router. 
Correlate the MEP with the correct MD and MA. When configuring the correlation, 
the index value is used instead of the name of the MD and MA. All MEPs that 
belong to the same MA must have the same MA name and MD level.
• Direction: The CFM message flow direction. Only down MEP is supported in 
EPIPE SDP binding, i.e. the CFM message will be sent through the port directly 
out to the network.
The MEP must be administratively enabled using the no shutdown command
The following CLI command syntax can be used to create or modify a MEP/MIP on 
a SDP binding:
configure>service>epipe# info
----------------------------------------------
sap nt-a:sfp:3:102 create
exit
spoke-sdp 10:1 create
eth-cfm
mep 100 domain 3 association 1 direction down
no shutdown
exit
exit
exit
no shutdown
----------------------------------------------
For MIP:
configure>service>epipe# info 
----------------------------------------------
sap nt-a:sfp:3:102 create
exit
spoke-sdp 10:1 create
eth-cfm
mip
exit
exit
