Hi everyone,
I think my understanding of the principle of G.8032 is quite solid.
However I am struggling some pieces of the configuration, specifically the difference between aps-channel and monitor service.
For example, if I have this config:
ethernet ring g8032 profile PROFILE1
timer wtr 1
!
ethernet ring g8032 RING1
port0 interface TenGigE0/0/0/0
monitor service instance 5
port1 interface TenGigE0/0/0/1
montor service instance 5
instance 1
profile PROFILE1
rpl port1 owner
inclusion-list vlan-ids 100-200
aps-channel
port 0 service instance 200
port 1 service instance 200
!

What is the difference between a monitor service instance (vlan 5 in this case) and a service instance (vlan 200)?
I think it might be that the R-APS messages will be sent on VLAN 200. But the CFM session that detects if a link has actually gone down will run in VLAN 5.
But I'm not sure if this is accurate.
