A MEP is configured on a service instance, sothe MD level and VLAN attribute of the service instance become the attribute of the MEP.Before creating MEPs, configure the MEP list. A MEP list is a collection of local configurable MEPs in anMA and the remote MEPs to be monitored.To configure a MEP:Step Command Remarks1. Enter system view. system-view N/A2.
