To use OAM diagnostic functions on service topology and composite service flat topology maps

Purpose

Perform this procedure to enable the OAM diagnostic functions on a service topology or composite service flat topology map, and use the basic OAM controls in the map window. See the other procedures in this chapter for information about using specific elements such as the toolbar icons and info tables.

Steps
 

Create a service topology map by selecting the service in the Manage Services form and clicking Topology View.


Select the OAM check box at the bottom left of the map window.


To manage one or more objects, select the objects and right-click on the set of objects to choose an option.


To select a MEG to display, choose the MEG from the drop-down menu of available MEGs at the bottom of the map window.

Note: You can also create a MEG directly from the topology map by right-clicking on an empty portion of the map to open a contextual menu. Select Ethernet CFM→Create Global MEG.


To view the properties of the selected MEG, click MEG Properties at the bottom of the window. The Global Maintenance Entity Group (Edit) form opens. The service displayed on the map is listed on the Service tab.


To resynchronize the MIPs in the selected MEG, click Resync MIPs at the bottom of the window.


To display the Test Generation Options for MEPs in the selected MEG, enable the Show Test Options check box at the bottom of the map window. See Working with Ethernet CFM objects in Working with topology maps .


Use the other procedures in this chapter to refine the map contents or display object properties, as required.


Use the right-click contextual menu options to configure and manage OAM objects, as required. See Managing OAM diagnostics from the topology view for a functional description of the available contextual menu options for OAM diagnostics.
