To create a bidirectional IP path monitor from a unidirectional IP path monitor

Steps


1	Choose Tools→Route Analysis→Path and Prefix Monitoring from the NFM-P main menu. The Path and Prefix Monitoring form opens.
2	Configure the list filter criteria and choose IP Path Monitor (Monitored Path) from the object menu.
3	Click on the Search button. A list of IP path monitors appears.
4	Choose an entry and click on the Properties button. The IP Path Monitor (Edit) form opens with the General tab displayed.
5	Click on the Create Bidirectional IP Path Monitor button. The Bidirectional IP Path Monitor (Create) form opens with the General tab displayed.
6	Configure the parameters: Name Description Monitor State
7	Click on the Apply button to save the configuration. The CPAM monitors the path only if the Monitor State is set to Up. Unidirectional paths are created, if required, or existing unidirectional paths with matching endpoints are associated with the new bidirectional path.
8	Click on the Path History tab button to view historical paths of the two unidirectional paths. You can sort the list by the time at which the paths were rerouted, created, or removed. Note: You can click on the Capture Path button to perform an immediate path capture. See To manually run an OAM diagnostic on an IP, LSP, or P2MP path monitor Chapter 13, OAM diagnostics for information about how to run an OAM test.
9	Click on the Service Tunnels tab button to view monitored GRE and LDP SDP tunnels in both directions.
10	Click on the Services tab button to view services that use the monitored IP paths.
11	Click on the Composite Services tab button to view composite services that use the monitored IP paths.
12	Close the Bidirectional IP Path Monitor (Create) form.
