• Remote MEPs can only be configured if local domain service access points (DSAPs) have
already been created (see
“Configuring Maintenance End Points” on page 985) at the same
maintenance level and in the same MA. DSAPs are MEPs that exist on the edge of the domain,
and act as primary service access points for end-to-end cross-check, loop-back, and link-trace
functions.
• The MEP cross-check start delay which sets the maximum delay that a device waits for remote
MEPs to come up before starting the cross-check operation can be configured on the
Configure Global page (see
“Configuring Global Settings for CFM” on page 973).
• SNMP traps for continuity check events discovered by cross-check operations can also be
configured on the Configure Global page (see
“Configuring Global Settings for CFM” on
page 973).
