To create and run a VCCV ping OAM diagnostic test from the STM

Steps

You can perform this test from a VPLS/MVPLS or VLL service form, or from the service flat topology map.

 

Choose Tools→Service Test Manager (STM) from the NFM-P main menu. The Service Test Manager form opens.


Click Create and choose Service→VCCV Ping. The VCCV Ping (Create) form opens.


Configure the required parameters.


Set the Test Type parameter in the Test Object panel.

To create a VCCV ping from a static PW to a dynamic PW segment, set the Test Type parameter to Static and configure the required parameters in the MPLS-TP VCCV Ping panel.

To create a VCCV ping from a dynamic PW to a static PW segment, set the Test Type parameter to Regular.

If you set the Test Type parameter to FEC 128, configure the required parameters in the FEC 128 Configurations panel.


Select the required spoke or mesh SDP binding in the First Spoke/Mesh SDP Binding panel.

Note: The selection of spoke bindings is applicable to both VPLS and VLL services; mesh bindings are only applicable to VPLS and MVPLS. However, when creating this test for MVPLS and VPLS, the concept of downstream spoke SDP bindings does not apply.


To configure this test for a VLL, select the required downstream spoke SDP binding in the Downstream SDP Binding panel.


Set the Target FEC Type parameter.

If creating a VCCV ping from a static PW to a dynamic PW segment, and the next segment is a dynamic PW, set the Target FEC Type parameter to FEC 129 and configure the required parameters in the Test Multi-Segment PW (FEC 129) panel for the dynamic PW. The PW ID parameter is the Service ID of the service that contains the dynamic PW between the source and destination NEs in this segment.

If creating a VCCV ping from a dynamic PW to a static PW segment, set the Target FEC Type parameter to Static and configure the required parameters in the Test Multi-Segment PW (Static) panel for the dynamic PW.


Click on the Test Parameters tab and configure the required parameters.

The Probe History parameter is only configurable when the NE Schedulable parameter is enabled.

If you are configuring a VCCV ping test for a VLL with a switching site, you must set the Reply Type parameter to IP.


Click on the Results Configuration tab and configure the required parameters.
