Hi

I have a question with respect to port setup/configuration for the MPLS
Ethernet port type.  In order to define unique source and destination
for a port of type Ethernet, the relevant MAC addresses are required.  I
see no reference to this in any of the GSMPv3 (draft 10) Port
configuration or management messages  (am I correct?) .  Is this port
specific information configured by another entity? (network edge control
function; Super-ordinate Management; Sub-ordinate Management)

I would appreciate any information in this regard, or please point out
relevant documentation that can provide answers.

Thank you
Niel Bester
