To run a VPLS service OAM validation test

Prerequisites

An OAM validator test suite must be created for the tested entity.

Note: As an alternative, you can also run an OAM validation test on the service by performing a One Time Validation.

OAM validation tests are not supported for HVPLS.

Steps
 

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


Choose a VPLS and click Properties. The VPLS Service (Edit) form opens.


Click Validate. If an OAM validator test suite is not associated to the service, a dialog box appears:

  1. Click OK to associate the service with an existing OAM validator test suite. The Choose Validator Test Suite form opens.

  2. Select an OAM validator test suite.


View the State Cause indicators. When the validation test fails, a check mark appears beside the OAM Validation Failed indicator.


Click on the Tests tab, then on the Tested Entity Result tab.


Choose an entry and click Properties. The Tested Entity Result (Edit) form opens.


Click on the Results tab to display the validation test results.


If you need to compare two test results from the same type of test, choose the two test results and click Compare; the Difference form opens. Otherwise go to Step 11 .


Compare the test results.
