8.8.2 (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 Do as follows on the router with a MEP at one end of the link to be tested.

The connectivity between a MEP and a MEP or a MIP on other devices is tested.
When implementing 802.1ag MAC ping, ensure that:
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
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.
