To conduct a VCCV Ping test, see To create and run a VCCV ping OAM diagnostic test from the STM .

The test can be created either from the Service Test Manager or from a configured Epipe service, Epipe site, or a Spoke SDP FEC.

If you choose a spoke SDP binding created by MS-PW routing, the VCCV ping is specifically for MS-PW, and the SAII and TAII parameters will be auto-filled. This allows you to conduct a MS-PW VCCV Ping on an S-PE.

If the test is created from a configured Spoke SDP FEC, the test object will be auto-filled with the configured spoke SDP FEC.

Alternatively, if the test is created from the Service Test Manager, an Epipe service, or an Epipe site (both the termination site and the switching site), then you must select a spoke SDP FEC (only for T-PE) or a spoke SDP binding of type FEC 129 created by the MS-PW routing.

To conduct a VCCV Trace test, see To create and run VCCV trace OAM diagnostic test from the STM or To create and run a VCCV trace OAM diagnostic from a static PW to a dynamic PW segment from the STM .

The test can be created either from the Service Test Manager or from a configured Epipe service, Epipe site, or a Spoke SDP FEC.

If the test is created from a configured Spoke SDP FEC, the test object will be auto-filled with the configured spoke SDP FEC.

Alternatively, if the test is created from the Service Test Manager, an Epipe service, or an Epipe site (both the termination site and the switching site), then you must select a spoke SDP FEC (only for T-PE) or a spoke SDP binding of type FEC 129 created by the MS-PW routing.

Note: When configuring either a VCCV Ping or VCCV Trace test for dynamic MS-PW from an S-PE, the Reply Type must be set to IP.

If the selected spoke SDP binding is created by MS-PW routing, you can only conduct a VCCV ping for MS-PW FEC129, not for FEC128.

If a PW template is used in the Spoke SDP FEC configuration, it must have its Enable Control Word parameter enabled, since both VCCV Ping and Trace require Control Word support.

To create a Test Suite, see To create an STM test suite .

A Test suite can be generated based on the selected policy for a specified VLL Epipe service.

If the selected policy has its Entity Type set to VLL Service, then the VCCV Ping and VCCV Trace tests that are generated will adhere to the following:

• No tests are generated for spoke SDP bindings created by MS-PW routing.

• Both VCCV Ping and VCCV Trace tests for MS-PW will be generated if there are spoke SDP FECs in the specified Epipe service.

If the selected policy has its Entity Type set to Service Connector, then there is also no test generated for the spoke SDP bindings created by MS-PW.
