– 1318 –

ma index name

This command creates a maintenance association (MA) within the current

maintenance domain, maps it to a customer service instance (S-VLAN),

and sets the manner in which MIPs are created for this service instance.

Use the no form with the vlan keyword to remove the S-VLAN from the

specified MA. Or use the no form with only the index keyword to remove

the MA from the current domain.

ma index index name ma-name [vlan vlan-id [mip-creation type]]
no ma index index [vlan vlan-id]

index – MA identifier. (Range: 1-2147483647)
ma-name – Maintenance association name. (Range: 1-44

alphanumeric characters)
vlan-id - Service VLAN ID. (Range: 1-4093)
type – Specifies the CFM protocol’s creation method for

maintenance intermediate points (MIPs) in this MA:

default – MIPs can be created for this MA on any bridge port

through which the MA’s VID can pass.
explicit – MIPs can be created this MA only on bridge ports

through which the MA’s VID can pass, and only if a maintenance

end point (MEP) is created at some lower MA Level.

The maintenance domain used to enter CFM domain configuration

mode, the MA name and VLAN identifier specified by this command,

and the DSAPs configured with the

mep crosscheck mpid

command

create a unique service instance for each customer.

If only the MA index and name are entered for this command, the MA

will be recorded in the domain database, but will not function. No MEPs

can be created until the MA is associated with a service VLAN.

Note that multiple domains at the same maintenance level (see the

ethernet cfm domain

command) cannot have an MA on the same VLAN.

Also, each MA name must be unique within the CFM-managed network.

Before removing an MA, first remove all the MEPs configured for it (see

the

mep crosscheck mpid

command).

If the MIP creation method is not defined by this command, the

creation method defined by the

ethernet cfm domain

command is
