l
The MA is associated with a VLAN.
l
The MEP is configured in the MA.
l
If the outbound interface is specified, it cannot be configured with an inward-facing MEP.
The interface must be added to the VLAN associated with the MA.
l
If the destination node is a MEP, either
mac
mac-address
or
remote-mep
mep-id
mep-id
can be selected. If
remote-mep
mep-id
mep-id
is selected, the RMEP must already be created
with the
remote-mep
command.
l
If the destination node is a MIP, select
mac
mac-address
.
The intermediate device on the link to be tested only forwards LBMs and LBRs. In this manner,
the MD, MA, or MEP are not required to be configured on the intermediate device.

4.10.3 (Optional) Implementing Gmac ping
By performing the Gmac ping, you can detect connectivity between devices.
Context
Perform Step 1 and Step 2 on the switchs at both ends of the link to be tested. Perform Step 3
on any of the switchs.
Procedure
Step 1
Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2
Run:
ping mac enable
Gmac ping is enabled globally.
By default, Gmac ping is disabled.
When Gmac ping is enabled:
l
MAC ping can be implemented on the switchs.
l
The switchs can respond to LBMs.
Step 3
Run:
ping mac
mac-address

The connectivity between the switch and the remote device is tested.
A MEP is not required to initiate Gmac ping. The destination node does not need to be a MEP
or a MIP. Gmac ping can be implemented without configuring the MD, MA, or MEP on the
source device, the intermediate device, and the destination device.
The two devices must be enabled with 802.1ag of the same version. If the local device is enabled
with IEEE 802.1ag Draft 7 and the peer is enabled with IEEE Standard 802.1ag-2007, the local
