Outward facing means that the MEP communicates through the wire. Outward facing MEPs use the
port MAC address, not the Bridge-Brain MAC address used by inward facing MEPs. An outward
facing MEP performs the following functions:
•
Sends and receives Service OAM frames at its level via the wire connected to the port where
the MEP is configured.
•
Drops all Service OAM frames at its level (or at a lower level) that come from the relay
function side.
•
Processes all Service OAM frames at its level coming from the direction of the wire.
•
Drops all Service OAM frames at a lower level coming from the direction of the wire.
•
Transparently forwards all Service OAM frames at levels higher than the level of the outward
facing MEP, independent of whether they come in from the relay function side or the wire
side. Not applicable to routed ports.
•
If the port on which the outward MEP is configured is blocked by Spanning-Tree Protocol, the
MEP can still transmit and receive Service OAM messages via the wire.
