Configuring Maintenance Intermediate Points

MX-series platforms support Maintenance Intermediate Points (MIPs) for Ethernet OAM 802.1ag CFM Protocol at a bridge-domain level. This enables you to define a maintenance domain (MD) for each default level. The MIPs names are created as default-level-number at the [edit protocols oam ethernet connectivity-fault-management maintenance-domain] hierarchy level. Use the bridge-domain, routing-instance, domain-instance, and mip-half-function MIP options to specify the MIP configuration.

Note: Whenever a MIP is configured and a bridge domain is mapped to multiple maintenance domains (MD) or maintenance associations (MA), it is essential that the mip-half-function value for all MDs and MAs are the same.

To display MIP configurations, use the show oam ethernet connectivity-fault-management mip (bridge-domain | instance-name | interface-name) command.

Configuring the Maintenance Domain Routing Instances Bridge Domain

The VLAN corresponds to the bridge domain.

To configure the bridge domain, include the bridge-domain statement at the [edit protocols oam ethernet connectivity-fault-management maintenance-domain routing-instances name] hierarchy level.

Configuring the Maintenance Domain Routing Instance

To configure the routing instance, include the routing-instance statement at the [edit protocols oam ethernet connectivity-fault-management maintenance-domain] hierarchy level.

Configuring the Maintenance Domain Instance

To configure the maintenance domain instance, include the instance statement at the [edit protocols oam ethernet connectivity-fault-management maintenance-domain] hierarchy level.

Configuring the Maintenance Domain MIP Half Function

To configure the MIP half function, include the mip-half-function statement at the [edit protocols oam ethernet connectivity-fault-management maintenance-domain] hierarchy level.
