To create and run a CFM two way SLM OAM diagnostic test from the STM

Steps

Note: The maximum number of continuous CFM two way SLM tests that can be executed is 300, provided that the SAA packet per second rate of 200 pps is not exceeded. The total number of continuous tests must share this maximum rate of 200 pps.

You can also run this test contextually for VPLS, Epipe, and Composite services. See To configure and run OAM tests contextually for more information.

 
1 

Choose Tools→Service Test Manager (STM) from the NFM-P main menu. The Service Test Manager form opens.

2 

Click Create and choose Ethernet CFM→CFM Two Way SLM. The CFM Two Way SLM Test (Create) form opens

3 

Configure the required parameters.

If the NE Schedulable parameter is enabled, two additional tabs are displayed for the form, Test Parameters and Results Configuration.

4 

Select a global MEG in the Test Object panel.

5 

Select an originating MEP in the Test Object panel.

Note: MEPs can be added to services automatically or manually. If no MEPs are listed when you perform this step, see Ethernet CFM for information about how to configure a MEP that is required for this step.

6 

To select the test destination using the target MAC Address:

  1. To select a MEP as the test destination, click Select MEP.

  2. To select a MIP as the test destination, click Select MIP.

    Note: MIP selection is not supported for OmniSwitch NEs.

  3. To select an unmanaged MEP as the test destination, click Select Unmanaged MEP.

7 

If the NE Schedulable parameter was not enabled in Step 3 , configure the REQUIRED parameters in the MEP Transmit SLM Information panel and go to Step 10 . Otherwise, go to Step 8 .

8 

Click on the Test Parameters tab and configure the required parameters.

The Probe History parameter is only configurable when the NE Schedulable parameter is enabled.

9 

Click on the Results Configuration tab and configure the required parameters.

The Trap Generation parameter is only configurable when the Accounting Files parameter is disabled.

The Test Result Storage parameter is only configurable when the Accounting Files parameter is enabled.

10 

Save the changes and close the forms.

11 

To run the OAM diagnostic test and view the results, perform To run one or more OAM diagnostic tests from the STM and view the test results . See To interpret OAM diagnostic test results on the STM for information about how to interpret the test results.
