To create and run an ANCP loopback OAM diagnostic test from the STM

Steps
 
1 

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

2 

Click Create and choose L2 Service→ANCP Loopback. The ANCP Loopback (Create) form opens.

3 

Configure the required parameters.

4 

Select the originating NE in the From IP Address panel.

5 

Click on the Test Parameters tab.

6 

To configure the ANCP loopback diagnostic for a subscriber ID:

  1. Set the Target Type parameter to Subscriber Ident String.

  2. Configure the Subscriber Ident String parameter in the ANCP Target Type Details panel.

7 

To configure the ANCP loopback diagnostic for an ANCP string:

  1. Set the Target Type parameter to ANCP String.

  2. Configure the ANCP String parameter in the ANCP Target Type Details panel.

8 

Configure the required parameters in the ANCP Details panel.

9 

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

Note: The ANCP OAM test returns a result trap only if it can locate the subscriber line ANCP string. In this case, it correctly returns the failure or success message. If the ANCP string (i.e., the subscriber line) does not exist on the DSLAM, the network element cannot ping it and does not return a trap. The OAM test in NFM-P remains in the Pending state until the request times out. This behavior differs from the behavior of the other OAM tests.

To correct the problem, check the Trap Generation: Probe Failure check box.

10 

Save the changes and close the forms.

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.
