To create and run a Continuity Check OAM diagnostic test from the STM

Steps

Note: The NFM-P automatically creates a Continuity Check OAM diagnostic test when you create an MD and global MEG. You can execute an automatically created test using the STM, or from the Tests tab of a MEG.

If a service is modified after you associate it with an MD, you must manually add new MEPs; for example, when a new site is added.

If a continuity check test is running on a service when you add a new MEP to the service, you must stop the test and execute it again to make the new MEP active.

When a service is modified after a continuity check is created, you must manually add a virtual MEP to the site; for example, when a new B-VPLS site is added to the service.

1	Choose Tools→Service Test Manager (STM) from the NFM-P main menu. The Service Test Manager form opens.
2	Click Create and choose Ethernet CFM→Create Continuity Check. The CFM Continuity Check Test (Create) form opens.
3	Configure the required parameters.
4	Select a MEG in the Maintenance Entity Group panel.
5	Configure the Duration (minutes) parameter in the Connectivity Check Timer panel.
6	If you are configuring the test for a 7705 SAR, configure the required parameters in the Initial Dual Ended Loss Test Options panel.
7	Save the changes and close the form.
8	To run the OAM diagnostic test and view the results, perform To run one or more OAM diagnostic tests from the STM and view the test results . See To interpret OAM diagnostic test results on the STM for information about how to interpret the test results. End of steps
