Maintenance End Point - Avaya 2330 Manual

Ethernet Connectivity Fault Management
The levels separate MDs from each other and provide different areas of functionality to different
devices using the network. An MD is characterized by a level and an MD name (optional).
A single MD can contain several MAs. Each MA is defined by a set of Maintenance Points
(MP). An MP is a demarcation point on an interface that participates in CFM within an MD.
There are two types of MP:
• Maintenance End Point (MEP)
• Maintenance Intermediate Point (MIP)
The following figure shows the MD level assignments.

Maintenance End Point

MEPs are points at the edge of the MD. They define a boundary and confine connectivity fault
management messages within this boundary.
