To configure OAM diagnostic test limits on the STM and view additional test configuration information

Purpose

Using the STM, you can optionally configure some limits for OAM diagnostic tests. For example, you can specify the maximum number of pings and traces performed on managed devices during the execution of a test, or you can limit the number of tests that can be performed. The default is to allow an unlimited number of tests.

You can also perform this procedure to see additional information about OAM tests configured on managed devices, such as deployment and schedule information.

Note: Limiting the number of tests does not raise an alarm on the NFM-P, or an SNMP trap on the managed device. The indication that the limit is reached is that no further test results are returned.

Steps
 
1 

Ensure that the Debug STM Mode parameter on the NFM-P User Preferences form is selected. Choose Application→User Preferences from the NFM-P main menu, or see To configure NFM-P user preferences for more information.

The drop-down options specified in this procedure are available only when Debug STM Mode is enabled.

2 

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

3 

Choose one of the following options from the object menu.

  1. NE Test Agent (Assurance). You can specify the maximum number of pings and traces allowed to be performed on individual managed devices during the execution of a test, or limit the number of tests that can be performed on all managed devices. This option also provides information about the node ID, concurrent ping and trace information, LTT concurrent requests, deployed test counts, and alarm status.

  2. Deployed Test (Assurance). You can view additional deployment information about each configured OAM diagnostic test on managed devices such as the node ID, name and description, management ownership, deployment and execution state, schedule status and start time, and alarm status.

  3. NE Schedulable Test (Assurance). You can view additional information about NE schedulable tests on managed devices, such as the node ID, name and description, management ownership, test deployed, mode, state, runs and failures, accounting policy ID, accounting suppression, card TCA profile, and alarm status.

4 

Click Search. A list of policies or tests appears, depending on the option chosen in Step 3.

5 

Choose an item and click Properties. A form opens showing the current configuration and information.

6 

As required, view the deployment information, or change the test limits for the managed device to meet your operational requirements.

7 

Save your changes and close the forms.
