4.10.2 (Optional) Implementing 802.1ag MAC Ping

By performing the 802.1ag MAC ping, you can detect connectivity between MEPs or between
MEPs and MIPs within an MA.
Context
Similar to the ping operation, 802.1ag MAC ping checks whether the destination device is
reachable by sending test packets and receiving response packets. In addition, the ping operation
time can be calculated at the transmitting end for network performance analysis.
Procedure
Step 1 A device is usually configured with multiple MDs and MAs. To precisely detect the connectivity
of a link between two or more devices, perform either of the following operations on the
switch with a MEP at one end of the link to be tested.
