mip auto-create
To enable the automatic creation of Maintenance Intermediate Points (MIPs) in a bridge domain or
cross-connect, use the mip auto-create command in CFM domain service configuration mode. To disable
automatic creation of MIPs, use the no form of this command.

Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task
IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator
for assistance.
The MIP auto-creation feature is configured only for services associated with bridge domains or cross-connects.
Unlike MEPs, MIPs are not explicitly configured on each interface. MIPs are created automatically according
to the algorithm specified in the CFM 802.1ag standard. For each interface, the algorithm, in brief, operates
in this manner:
• The bridge-domain or cross-connect for the interface is found, and all services associated with that
Enables automatic creation of MIPs on all interfaces.
[Optional] Enables automatic creation of MIPs only on interfaces with a MEP at
a lower level.
[Optional] Enables CCM learning for MIPs created in this service. This must be
used only in services with a relatively long CCM interval of at least 100 ms. CCM
learning at MIPs is disabled by default.
bridge-domain or cross-connect are considered for MIP auto-creation.
