Steps
 
1 

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

2 

Choose a service from the list and click Properties. The Service (Edit) form opens.

4 

Choose a site or sites from the list and click Properties. The Site (Edit) form opens.

5 

Click on the OAM tab, then the Tests tab.

6 

Configure and run a VPRN ping or VPRN trace OAM diagnostic.

  1. To create and run a VPRN ping:

    1. Click on the VPRN Ping tab. A list of VPRN diagnostics appears.

    2. Double-click on a row in the list to edit an existing test, or click Create to create a new test. The VPRN ping form opens.

    3. Configure the required parameters.

    4. Select a VPRN site.

    5. 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.

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

    7. Click Apply to save the changes and confirm the action.

    8. Click Execute. A deployed test is created and run. Open the deployed test from the Deployed Tests tab to view its current state. When the test is complete, the deployed test is removed, and you can view the results.

  2. To create and run a VPRN trace:

    1. Click on the VPRN Trace tab. A list of VPRN trace diagnostics appears.

    2. Double-click on a row in the list to edit an existing test, or click Create to create a new test. The VPRN Trace (Create) form opens.

    3. Configure the required parameters.

    4. Select a VPRN site.

    5. 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.

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

    7. Click Apply to save the changes and confirm the action.

    8. Choose the diagnostic from the list.

    9. Click Execute. A deployed test is created and run. Open the deployed test from the Deployed Tests tab to view its current state. When the test is complete, the deployed test is removed, and you can view the results.

7 

Configure and run an ICMP ping or ICMP trace OAM diagnostic.

  1. To create and run ICMP ping:

    1. Click on the ICMP Ping tab. A list of ICMP diagnostics appears.

    2. Double-click on a row in the list to edit an existing test, or click Create to create a new test. The ICMP Ping form opens.

    3. Configure the required parameters.

    4. Configure the IP Address and VPRN interface in the Source panel.

    5. Configure the Target IP Address and VPRN interface in the Target IP Address panel.

    6. 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.

      The Continuous Execution option is only applicable when the Packet Interval is set to 1 second or greater.

      The Continuous Execution and Rapid options are mutually exclusive.

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

    8. Click Apply to save the changes and confirm the action.

    9. Click Execute. A deployed test is created and run. Open the deployed test from the Deployed Tests tab to view its current state. When the test is complete, the deployed test is removed, and you can view the results.

  2. To create and run ICMP trace:

    1. Click on the ICMP Trace tab. A list of ICMP trace diagnostics appears.

    2. Double-click on a row in the list to edit an existing test, or click Create to create a new test. The ICMP Trace form opens.

    3. Configure the required parameters.

    4. Configure the IP Address and VPRN interface in the Source panel.

    5. Configure the Target IP Address and VPRN interface in the Target IP Address panel.

    6. 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.

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

    8. Click Apply to save the changes and confirm the action.

    9. Choose the diagnostic from the list.

    10. Click Execute. A deployed test is created and run. Open the deployed test from the Deployed Tests tab to view its current state. When the test is complete, the deployed test is removed, and you can view the results.

8 

View the test results on the Results tab. The results depend on the type of test. See To view and compare OAM diagnostic test results on the STM.

Result information includes:

  • Number of Probes Sent

  • Time Last Response

  • Number of Responses Received

Note: Results of individually run ICMP Trace tests are viewed on the Results tab. The Results tab displays only the result of the last individually run ICMP Trace test, any previous individually run test results are overwritten.

Results from ICMP Trace tests that are scheduled or part of a test suite are also stored on the Results tab. The number of scheduled test results stored corresponds to the value configured in the Probe History Size (rows) parameter. Scheduled ICMP Trace test results do not overwrite individually run test results or previously run scheduled test results.
