To create and run a Continuity Check OAM diagnostic test from the STM

Steps

Note: The NFM-P automatically creates a Continuity Check OAM diagnostic test when you create an MD and global MEG. You can execute an automatically created test using the STM, or from the Tests tab of a MEG.

If a service is modified after you associate it with an MD, you must manually add new MEPs; for example, when a new site is added.

If a continuity check test is running on a service when you add a new MEP to the service, you must stop the test and execute it again to make the new MEP active.

When a service is modified after a continuity check is created, you must manually add a virtual MEP to the site; for example, when a new B-VPLS site is added to the service.

 

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


Click Create and choose Ethernet CFM→Create Continuity Check. The CFM Continuity Check Test (Create) form opens.


Configure the required parameters.


Select a MEG in the Maintenance Entity Group panel.


Configure the Duration (minutes) parameter in the Connectivity Check Timer panel.


If you are configuring the test for a 7705 SAR, configure the required parameters in the Initial Dual Ended Loss Test Options panel.


Save the changes and close the form.


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.
