Steps
 

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


Click Create and choose Ethernet CFM→CFM Eth Test. The CFM Eth Test (Create) form opens.


Configure the required parameters.


Select a global MEG in the Test Object panel.


Select an originating MEP in the Test Object panel.

Note: MEPs can be added to services automatically or manually. If no MEPs are listed when you perform this step, see Ethernet CFM for information about how to configure a MEP that is required for this step.


In the MEP Transmit Information panel, choose one of the following for the service destination test endpoint:

  1. Select a MEP, MIP, or Unmanaged MEP for the Target MAC Address parameter.

    Note: You must select a Maintenance Entity Group ID and Originating MEP prior to configuring this parameter for the Select buttons to function.

    Note: The MIP selection is not supported for OmniSwitch NEs.

  2. Click the Enable Target MEP ID checkbox if you want to specify a remote Maintenance Entity Point ID (MEP ID) endpoint.

    Note: With both options, you have the choice to either enter a value manually for the Target MEP ID or Target MAC Address parameter or use the selected value.


Configure the MEP Transmit LBM Information parameters.


Save the changes and close the forms.
