Before creating MEPs, configure the MEP list first. An MEP list is a collection of local MEPs allowed to be
configured in an MA and the remote MEPs to be monitored.
Follow these steps to configure a MEP:

Configuring MIP generation rules
As functional entities in a service instance, MIPs respond to various CFD frames, such as LTM frames, LBM
frames, 1DM frames, DMM frames, and TST frames.
MIPs are generated on each port automatically according to related MIP generation rules. If a port has
no MIP, the system will check the MAs in each MD (from low to high levels), and follow the process shown
to create or not to create MIPs (within the same VLAN):
