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,
deleting 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
.
NOTE: If All-to-One Bundling is enabled for SOAM, the S-Tagging designation of
ports and the S-tagging parameters for SOAM (described in the section
“Management IP Configuration” on page 10) must be configured first,
before you configure the SOAM entities described in this chapter.
11.1.7 Screen Navigation
SOAM parameters and procedures are configured using the menus described in this chapter.
The menu hierarchy for SOAM is illustrated in Figure 11-4.
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, press 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 11-4, 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
separate screens.
