To run an OAM validation test on a service tunnel

Purpose

Use this procedure to run an OAM validation test on a service tunnel. An OAM validator test suite must be created for the tested entity; see Chapter 89, Service Test Manager .

Note: Alternatively, you can also run an OAM validation test on the service tunnel by performing a one-time validation; see To run a one-time validation test on a service .

Click Search, choose a service tunnel, and click Properties. The Tunnel (Edit) form opens.

If an OAM validator test suite is not associated with the service tunnel, a dialog box appears. Click OK, choose an OAM validator test suite, and click OK.


View the State Cause indicators. When the validation test fails, a check mark appears beside the OAM Validation Failure indicator.


Click on the Tests tab, then on the Tested Entity Result tab.
