Ethernet CFM diagnostic test workflow

Stages

This workflow outlines the procedures that describe how to configure, manage and perform Ethernet CFM OAM diagnostic tests, as well as how to view the results the tests generate. The PM session tests are generally configured through the Service Test Manager. See Chapter 89, Service Test Manager for more information on working with the STM.


1	If the Ethernet CFM diagnostic test being configured is part of an STM test policy or STM test suite, review the STM chapter workflow to determine any prerequisite configuration requirements. See Chapter 89, Service Test Manager for more information on the STM.
2	Configure the initial MEP ID value on an NE for automatic MEP creation; see To configure an automatic MEP ID assignment on an NE .
3	Create an Ethernet CFM MD policy and subordinate objects associated with the MD such as a Global MEG, MEG, and MEP for each level at which Ethernet connectivity is to be monitored; see To configure an Ethernet CFM MD policy and subordinate objects.
4	As required, create identical MEPs on service SAPs that are part of an MC-LAG; see To automatically create identical MEPs on a redundant pair of service SAPs.
5	As required, change the MEG sub-group association for managed MEPs or unmanaged remote MEPs; see To change the MEG sub-group association for managed MEPs or unmanaged remote MEPs .
6	As required, configure a default NE-level MD on an OmniSwitch; see To configure a default MD on an OmniSwitch.
7	As required, configure one of the following CFM Ethernet diagnostic tests: Global MEG check; see To create and run a Global MEG OAM diagnostic test from the STM Continuity check and CFM dual-ended loss test; see To create and run a Continuity Check OAM diagnostic test from the STM CFM loopback; see To create and run a CFM loopback OAM diagnostic test from the STM CFM link trace; see To create and run a CFM link trace OAM diagnostic test from the STM CFM Eth test; see To create and run a CFM Eth OAM diagnostic test from the STM CFM two way delay test; see To create and run a CFM two way delay OAM diagnostic test from the STM CFM one way delay test; see To create and run a CFM one-way delay OAM diagnostic test from the STM CFM single ended loss test; see To create and run a CFM single-ended loss OAM diagnostic test from the STM CFM two way SLM; see To create and run a CFM two way SLM OAM diagnostic test from the STM CFM LM test; see To create and run a CFM LM OAM diagnostic test from the STM
8	Create an STM test policy specifying at least one Ethernet CFM test definition; see To configure an STM test policy.
9	Create an STM test suite; see To create an STM test suite.
10	As required, execute the generated Ethernet CFM test suite; see To execute an STM test suite.
11	As required, view and compare CFM Ethernet test results: See To view STM test suite results , and To view and compare STM test suite results for a tested entity ,
