The creation of MIPs on a maintenance domain is useful for tracing the link, MIP by MIP. It also allows the user to perform a loopback from an MEP to an MIP. An enumerated value indicates whether the management entity can create MIP Half Functions (MHF) for a maintenance domain. Options to choose from are:  None - Specifies not to create the MIP for a maintenance domain.  Auto - Specifies that MIPs will always be created on any port in this MD, when there is no MEP configured on that port for the MAs with the same VID at this MD level or any higher active MD levels, and at the same time there is an MEP configured on that port for the MA with the same VID at the next lower active MD level or there is no MA with the same VID at any lower active MD levels. For an intermediate Switch in an MA, the setting should be Auto in order for the MIPs to be created on this device.  Explicit - Specifies that MIPs will be created on any port for the MAs in this maintenance, when there is no MEP configured on that port for the MAs with the same VID at this MD level or any higher active MD levels, and at the same time there is an MEP configured on that port for the MA with the same VID at the next lower active MD level. This option is used to configure the default transmission of the sender ID TLV by MPs in an MD. Options to choose from are:  None - Specifies not to transmit the sender ID TLV.  Chassis - Specifies to transmit the sender ID TLV with the chassis ID information. 566
