To run an OAM validation test for a VPRN service
Prerequisites
An OAM validator test suite must be created for the tested entity. See
Chapter 90, OAM diagnostic tests for more information about how to create an OAM validator test suite.
Note: As an alternative, you can also run an OAM validation test on the service by performing a One Time Validation. This is a mostly automated procedure and is described in
To run a one-time validation test on a service .
