Configuring an SAA ID
The first step in configuring an SAA is to create an SAA ID. The saa command is used to create the SAA
ID string (up to 32 characters), along with an optional description and time interval. For example:
-> saa saa2 descr “two-way eth-dm” interval 160
The SAA time interval specifies the amount of time, in minutes, to wait between each iteration of the SAA
test. By default, the SAA time interval is set to 150 minutes and the description is set to “DEFAULT”.
Additional SAA parameters include setting threshold values for jitter and round-trip-time (rtt). By default,
these threshold values are set to zero (disabled). Use the saa command with the jitter-threshold and rtt-
threshold parameters to change (enable) the threshold values. For example:
-> saa saa1 jitter-threshold 100 rtt-threshold 500
Once the SAA ID is created, then the following SAA types are configurable:
• MAC address ping (see “Configuring a MAC Address Ping SAA” on page 36-5)
• IP ping (see “Configuring an IP Ping SAA” on page 36-5)
• Ethernet OAM loopback and two-way pint (see “Configuring an Ethernet OAM SAA” on page 36-5)
Configuring a MAC Address Ping SAA
L2 SAAs enhance the service level monitoring by enabling performance measurement against any L2
address within the provider network.
To configure SAA for MAC, use the saa type mac-ping command. For example, the following command
configures “saa5” as a MAC SAA:
-> saa saa5 type mac-ping destination-macaddress 00:11:11:11:11:11 vlan 10
data "asdf" drop-eligible true vlan-priority 3 num-pkts 4
Configuring an IP Ping SAA
IP SAAs enhance service level monitoring to become IP application-aware by measuring both end-to-end
and at the IP layer. IP SAA allows performance measurement against any IP addresses in the network (for
example, switch, server, PC).
To configure SAA for IP, use the saa type ip-ping command. For example, the following command
configures “saa1” as an IP SAA:
-> saa “saa1” type ip-ping destination-ip 123.32.45.76 source-ip 123.35.42.124
type-of-service 4
Configuring an Ethernet OAM SAA
The Ethernet Service OAM implementation supports the ability to perform on-demand Ethernet loopback
and two-way Ethernet frame delay measurement. These mechanisms are initiated using the ethoam loop-
back and ethoam two-way-delay commands. When these commands are used, the loopback or delay
measurement is done on a one-time, immediate basis.
An Ethernet OAM loopback (ETH-LB) SAA and two-way frame delay measurement (ETH-DMM) SAA
are supported to generate traffic in a continuous, reliable, and predictable manner to support these func-
tions.
