To prepare an Epipe, Apipe, Cpipe, VPLS, or composite service throughput configuration
Before you begin
The SAP that is replaced for the throughput configuration must exist under a supported VLL or VPLS site.
A throughput configuration cannot be performed on a SAP that:
Nokia recommends that you set the Current OLC State parameter of the service to Maintenance before you prepare a throughput configuration. See the NSP System Administrator Guide for more information.
Steps
1 |
Perform one of the following:
|
2 |
Click on the Throughput Configuration tab and click Create. The Service Throughput Configuration form opens. Note: Alternatively, you can choose a service throughput-capable service from the Manage Services or Manage Composite Services form, click on the Throughput Configuration button, and choose Create from the contextual menu. |
3 |
Configure the required parameters. |
4 |
In the Traffic Test Entry panel, select a SAP that is configured on the service that is to be replaced for testing. |
5 |
Select a physical port or channel in the Traffic Test Entry panel that is connected to the test entry on which to create the SAP. You can choose an access or hybrid port on the service site on which the SAP that you selected in Step 4 resides that has the same encapsulation type as the selected SAP. By default, the displayed port is the underlying port of the selected SAP. If you choose a different port, the NFM-P creates a SAP on the selected port by copying the configuration from the original SAP during the test preparation. E-OAM objects are not copied to the SAP. |
6 |
Select a traffic destination site in the Traffic Test Destination panel. |
