To run an OAM validation test on a VLAN service

Prerequisites

A validator test suite must be created for the tested entity. See Chapter 90, OAM diagnostic tests for more information about how to create a validator test suite.

Note: As an alternative, you can also run an OAM validation test on the service by performing a One Time Validation. This is a mostly automated procedure and is described in To run a one-time validation test on a service .

Steps
 

Choose Manage→Service→Services from the NFM-P main menu. The Manage Services form opens.


Choose a service and click Properties. The VLAN (Edit) form opens.


Click Validate. If the Validate button is not visible, click on the More Actions button and choose Validate. If a validator test suite is not associated to the service, a dialog box appears.

Perform the following steps:

  1. Click OK to associate the service with an existing validator test suite. The Choose Validator Test Suite form appears.

  2. Select a validator test suite and click OK button. The Choose Validator Test Suite form closes.


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


Click on the Tests tab.


Click on the Tested Entity Result tab.


Select an entry and click Properties. The Tested Entity Result form opens and displays information about the validation test.


Close the forms.
