– Indicate whether you want the instrument to issue a
remote loopback command to place its peer in loopback
mode if the instrument is in active mode and its peer is
capable of remote loopbacks.
– Retrieve MIB (Management Information Base) variables
that provide management information about Ethernet vari-
ables from the instrument’s OAM peer (if the peer is
capable of providing MIB information).
When testing service and link OAM, you can observe results
associated with your test in the OAM result category. For
details, refer to
“OAM results” on page 281.
Specifying OAM
settings
Specifying OAM settings involves turning On the OAM tests
that you want to perform (such as a service level continuity
check, or a service layer LBM/LBR test), and, if you are testing
the link layer, specifying defect and event parameters.
To specify OAM settings
1 If you haven’t already done so, launch the Terminate
application for the circuit you are testing (see “Launching
an application” on page 28), and then select the
Layer 2 Traffic test (see “Selecting a layer 2 test” on
page 46).
2 Initialize the link (see “Initializing the link for Ethernet
testing” on page 47), and then specify the settings for the
tests you intend to perform:
– For service layer CCM message settings, see step 3
on page 96.
– For service layer AIS settings, see step 4 on page 98.
– For service layer LBM/LBR settings, see step 5 on
page 99.
– For service layer LTM/LTR settings, see step 6 on
page 100
.
– For link layer local configuration settings, see step 7
on page 101.
– For link layer defect settings, see step 8 on page 102.
