Binding an MA to a VPLS Network

Binding an MA to a VPLS network is a prerequisite for configuring single-ended frame loss measurement, dual-ended frame loss measurement, one-way frame delay measurement, or two-way frame delay measurement in VPLS networking.

Context

VPLS-based performance monitoring function is VSI-specific. Therefore, when deploying Y.1731, bind an MA to a specified VSI, and then collect performance statistics about the MA. Then, performance statistics about a specified PW or AC will be available.

To collect performance statistics about a PW, do as follows on the PEs at both ends of the PW on the VPLS network.
To collect performance statistics about an AC between a PE and a CE, do as follows on the PE.

Procedure

Run ma ma-name
The MA view is displayed.
Run map vsi vsi-name
The MA is bound to a VSI.
Run commit
The configuration is committed.
