Description: The Maintenance Association End Point (MEP) performance measurement operation table stores all the managed objects for sending SLM .

Steps to use entries in this table:

1) Wait for zxAnCfm2MepSlmEnable value to be disabled. To do this do this sequence: a. an SNMP GET for both snmpSetSerialNo and zxAnCfm2MepSlmEnable objects (in same SNMP PDU). b. Check if value for zxAnCfm2MepSlmEnable is disabled. - if not, wait x seconds, go to step a above. - if enabled, save the value of snmpSetSerialNo and go to step 2) below 2) Change zxAnCfm2MepSlmEnable value from disabled to enabled to ensure no other management entity will use the service. In order to not disturb a possible other NMS do this by sending an SNMP SET for both snmpSetSerialNo and zxAnCfm2MepSlmEnable and other synthetic loss measurement objects (such as zxAnCfm2MepSlmPriority, ...) (in same SNMP PDU, and make sure snmpSetSerialNo is the first varbind). For the snmpSetSerialNo varBind, use the value that you obtained in step 1) a. This ensures that two cooperating NMSes will not step on each others toes. 3) Check the value of zxAnCfm2MepSlmResultOk to find out if the operation was successfully initiated or not. 4) Monitor the value of zxAnCfm2MepSlmEnable. When it is reset to false, the last SLM has been transmitted. 5) Get the results of the test from the zxAnCfm2MepSlmRltTable.
