MDs of different ranges and levels can provide users with differentiated OAM services.

Verifying Ethernet Service Configurations

This task is required in the case that the NEs where the two Ethernet interfaces involved in the service test are located. Set the main parameters as follows: The MD names and levels of different NEs must be the same. In the test of Ethernet services between two edge nodes on the transport network, it is recommended that you set Maintenance Domain Level to 4. In the test of Ethernet services between two NEs within the transport network, set Maintenance Domain Level to a value less than 4. In the test of Ethernet services between two Ethernet ports on the same NE, set Maintenance Domain Level to a value less than that set in the test of Ethernet services between two NEs within the transport network. Set the name of a maintenance domain. The maintenance domain (MD) refers to the network for the Ethernet OAM. Set the level of the MD. Values 0 to 2 indicate the carrier level, values 3 to 4 indicate the supplier level, and values 5 to 7 indicate the user level. When Maintenance Domain Level is set to 0, the MD is at the lowest level. Values 1 to 7 indicate that the level increases in ascending order. Creating an MACreating an MEP pointCreating an MDCreating remote MEPs in an MATesting Ethernet servicesThe OAM packets whose level is higher than the preset value are transparently transmitted by the MEPs. The OAM packets whose level is lower than the preset value are directly discarded by the MEPs. The OAM packets whose level is the same as the preset value are responded to or terminated by the MEPs according to the message type.

An MD can be divided into several independent maintenance associations (MAs). By creating MAs, you can associate specific Ethernet services with MAs. This facilitates Ethernet OAM operations.

Maintenance Association Name: the values set on two NEs must be the same. Set Relevant Service to the same service for the two NEs. Set CC Test Transmit Period to 1s.

An MEP is the starting and end positions of all the OAM packets. By creating an MEP, you can check the Ethernet channel of the MEPs that belong to a same MA through the OAM operation.

Set Board and Port to the Ethernet ports involved in the service test. Set MP ID to different values for MEPs in the same MD. In this example, Ethernet services between two internal NEs on the transport network are tested. Hence, set Direction to Ingress for the MEPs. The MP ID is used to identify the MEP during the LB test. Hence, set CC Status to Active.

To ensure that an MEP can respond to the OAM operations initiated by the other MEPs in the same MA, you need to set the other MEPs to be the remote MEPs of this MEP.

Set Maintenance Domain Name to the value of Maintenance Domain Name that is set in the preceding step. Set Maintenance Association Name to the value of Maintenance Association Name that is set in the preceding step. If other MEPs may initiate OAM operations to an MEP in the same MA, set the other MEPs to be the remote MEPs.

During a loopback (LB) test, you can check the bidirectional connectivity between the source MEP and any MEP in the same MA.

Select MP ID if the LB test is performed on the basis of MP IDs. Source maintenance point in the LB test Destination maintenance point in the LB test Transmitted Packet Count: specifies the number of packets transmitted each time in the LB test. The duration gets longer with the increase of numbers. Transmitted Packet Length: specifies the length of a transmitted LBM packet. If the packet length is different, the test result may be different. In normal cases, it is recommended that you use the default value. Transmitted Packet Priority: specifies the priority of transmitted packets. 0 indicates the lowest priority, and 7 indicates the highest priority. In normal cases, it is recommended that you set this parameter to the highest priority.

Then, the LB test result is displayed in the Detection Result pane. The LossRate in the Detection Result must be 0.
