2. Configure the MA and MEG entities. Choose the VLAN type for the MA (C-Tagged or
untagged) when you create the MAs and MEGs. The actual VLANs associated with an
MA or MEG can be configured at that time, or they can be added or removed later during
runtime operations. An MA must be associated with an MD created in step 1.
3. Configure the MEPs. Each MEP is associated with an existing MA or MEG, created in
step 2.
4. Create the MIP entities. A MIP is associated with an MD (for 802.1ag MIPs) or with a
MEG (for Y.1731 MIPs).
5. If required, configure the AIS client server relationships, as described in section 11.9. The
AIS client server relationships are established between the MEPs and MIPs configured in
the previous steps.
At runtime, deleting a lower level entity (such as a MA or a MEG) will automatically delete all
higher level entities and relationships that are attached to the deleted object. For example, delet-
ing an MD will automatically delete the MAs attached to the MD, as well as all MEPs, MIPs, and
AIS associations related to the deleted MD
.
11.1.6 Screen Navigation
SOAM parameters and procedures are configured using the menus described in this chapter.
The menu hierarchy for SOAM is illustrated in Figure 11-3.
To select an item on a screen, type the number of the item and press <Enter>. The setting will be
highlighted. To toggle between values within that item, use the space bar.
If there is more than one page, the screen will offer the option of using (F)irst, (P)rev, (N)ext,
and (L)ast to navigate. Press <Esc> to return to a previous screen.
All screens that show existing objects are refreshed automatically every 5 seconds; items that
are being modified are not refreshed.
In Figure 11-3, some screens (MDs, MAs, MEPs and MIPs) are highlighted with a blue rectangle.
For these entities, actions (display entities, create new entity, edit attributes) are executed in sep-
arate screens.
