mip create-type (system view)

Function

The mip create-type command configures a MIP creation rule on the device or a specified interface.

The undo mip create-type command restores the default MIP creation rule on a specified interface.

By default, the MIP creation rule on the device is none and all the interfaces use this rule to generate MIPs.

mip create-type { default | explicit | none } [ interface interface-type interface-number ]

undo mip create-type [ [ default | explicit | none ] interface interface-type interface-number ]

Parameter	Description	Value
default	Indicates that the MIP creation rule on an interface is default. That is, a MIP can be created on the interface without a higher-level MEP and a lower-level MIP. In this mode, MIPs can be created when no MEP is configured on the interface.	-
explicit	Indicates that the MIP creation rule on an interface is explicit. That is, a MIP can be created on an interface with a lower-level MEP but without a higher-level MEP or a lower-level MIP. In this mode, a MIP can be created on an interface only when a lower-level MEP has been configured on this interface.	-
none	Indicates that the MIP creation rule on an interface is none. That is, a MIP is not created automatically.	-
interface-type interface-number	Specifies the type and number of an interface where a MIP creation rule is configured. interface-type specifies the interface type. interface-number specifies the interface number. If this parameter is not specified, the MIP creation rule takes effect globally.	-

Usage Scenario

To configure a MIP creation rule on the device, run the mip create-type command.

Precautions

The command is only applicable to IEEE 802.1ag Draft 7.

If the MIP creation rule is default or explicit, the device creates a MIP automatically according to the rule.

Generally, you need to configure MIP nodes only when the 802.1ag MAC ping or trace operation is performed on a non-MEP node in an MA.

Prerequisites

CFM has been enabled globally using the cfm enable (system view) command.
