A maintenance domain (MD) defines the range and level of the Ethernet OAM. MDs of
different ranges and levels can provide users with differentiated OAM services.

Set the name of a maintenance domain. The
maintenance domain (MD) refers to the network
for the Ethernet OAM.
Set the level of the MD. Values 0 to 2 indicate
the carrier level, values 3 to 4 indicate the
supplier level, and values 5 to 7 indicate the
user level. When Maintenance Domain Level
is set to 0, the MD is at the lowest level. Values
1 to 7 indicate that the level increases in
ascending order.
This task is required in the case that the NEs where the two Ethernet interfaces
involved in the service test are located. Set the main parameters as follows:
The MD names and levels of different NEs must be the same.
In the test of Ethernet services between two edge nodes on the transport
network, it is recommended that you set Maintenance Domain Level to 4. In
the test of Ethernet services between two NEs within the transport network, set
Maintenance Domain Level to a value less than 4. In the test of Ethernet
services between two Ethernet ports on the same NE, set Maintenance Domain
Level to a value less than that set in the test of Ethernet services between two
NEs within the transport network.

An

MD can be divided into several independent maintenance associations (MAs). By

creating MAs, you can associate specific Ethernet services with MAs. This facilitates
Ethernet OAM operations.

An MEP is the starting and end positions of all the OAM packets. By creating an MEP,

you can check the Ethernet channel of the MEPs that belong to a same MA through
the OAM operation.

Set Board and Port to the Ethernet ports involved in the service test.
Set MP ID to different values for MEPs in the same MD.
In this example, Ethernet services between two internal NEs on the transport
network are tested. Hence, set Direction to Ingress for the MEPs.
The MP ID is used to identify the MEP during the LB test. Hence, set CC Status to
Active.

To ensure that an MEP can respond to the OAM operations initiated by the
other MEPs in the same MA, you need to set the other MEPs to be the remote
MEPs of this MEP.

Transmitted Packet Count: specifies the number of packets transmitted each time in the
LB test. The duration gets longer with the increase of numbers.
Transmitted Packet Length: specifies the length of a transmitted LBM packet. If the
packet length is different, the test result may be different. In normal cases, it is recommended
that you use the default value.
Transmitted Packet Priority: specifies the priority of transmitted packets. 0 indicates the
lowest priority, and 7 indicates the highest priority. In normal cases, it is recommended that
you set this parameter to the highest priority.
