What is the Administrator’s Role?

On the switch, the administrator configures the customer-level maintenance

domains, associations, and endpoints used to participate in Dot1ag services

with other switches connected through the provider network. The

Administrator can also use utilities to troubleshoot connectivity faults when

reported via SNMP traps. All the domains within the customer domain

should use different domain levels.

Configuration Tasks

The administrator defines the maintenance domains by configuring the

domain level (from 0–7) and a name. For each domain, the administrator

defines maintenance associations that are specified by a SVLAN ID and an

MA name. Then the administrator defines the switch ports that serve as

MEPs for a service instance and as MIPs within a domain.
