Viewing Functional Audit Results

To view the results of a functional audit of a service, use the following procedures:

• Viewing the Results of a Functional Audit of a Point-to-Point Service
• Viewing the Results of a Functional Audit of a Multipoint-to-Multipoint Service
• Viewing the Results of a Functional Audit of a Point-to-Multipoint Service

Viewing the Results of a Functional Audit of a Point-to-Point Service

After performing a functional audit on a service, to view the functional audit results, follow these steps:

1. In the Ethernet Activator task ribbon, select the Service Provisioning task icon.
2. In the task ribbon, select the Manage Services task icon.
3. In the Manage Services screen, select the point-to-point service for which you want to view the functional audit results.
4. Open the Actions drawer and select View Functional Audit Results.

   A screen similar to the following appears:

   
   

   The right panel shows the overall service status. A green up-arrow in the Service Status header bar indicates that the service has passed the functional audit in both the control plane and the data plane. A red down-arrow indicates that the service failed either the control plane validation of the data plane validation.

   The left panel lists each endpoint in the service. Each listed endpoint includes its interface name and the device name. Icons next to the endpoints indicate the service role of each endpoint and its up or down state as shown in Table 1

   Table 1: Point-to-Point Service Endpoint Icons

   Icon	Meaning
   	Point-to-point service endpoint. Endpoint state is up.
   	Point-to-point service endpoint. Endpoint state is down.

5. In the left panel header, to show all endpoints in the service, select All. To display only the endpoints indicating failed validation, select Failed. Failed is dimmed if the functional audit returned no validation errors.
6. To view service status information related a specific endpoint, select the endpoint. The right panel shows the operational state of the device (up or down), the device name, its topology (always P2P in a point-to-point Ethernet service), and whether the remote site is up or down. For example:
   
7. Expand each device to show the link from that device to the other N-PE device in the service.

   An icon next to each link indicates whether the functional audit commands reported correct functioning of the control plane and data plane. Table 2 explains these icons.

   Table 2: Functional Audit Success Status Icons

   Icon	Meaning
   	Control plane and data plane function correctly.
   	Errors were reported in the functioning of either the control plane or the data plane.

8. In the left panel, select a link.

   A screen similar to the following appears:

   
   

   The panel to the right shows the validation results for the control plane validation and data plane validation for the selected link. Icons indicate the success or failure of each of these sets of tests. Table 3 explains each of these icons and the textual information provided in the box beside the icon.

   Table 3: Point-to-Point Service Control Plane and Data Plane Validation Icons

   Icon	Meaning	Explanation
   	Control plane up	The text box shows the name of the remote N-PE device and confirms that the data plane is operational.
   	Control plane down	The text box shows the name of the configured remote N-PE device and, in the Command status field, explains why the test failed.
   	Control plane status unknown	The functional audit operation was unable to test the control plane.
   	Data plane up	The text box indicates the number of packets transmitted and received, and confirms that no data packets were lost during the audit.
   	Data plane down	The text box indicates that data packets were lost during the audit.
   	Data plane status unknown	The functional audit was unable to complete the data plane test. The Result field in the text box indicates the reason—for example, the connection to the remote N-PE device is down.

   The control plane and data plane validation checks must both show operational status for the link to be considered operational.

Viewing the Results of a Functional Audit of a Multipoint-to-Multipoint Service

Data plane information between two endpoints in a VPLS service shows only for MX Series devices. This information is not provided for M Series devices. Junos Release 9.3 and Junos Release 9.4 do not support data plane validation. The Functional Audit Results screens do not display data plane validation information if any device in the service is running one of these Junos releases.

After performing a functional audit on a multipoint-to-multipoint service, to view the functional audit results, follow these steps:

1. In the Ethernet Activator task ribbon, select the Service Provisioning task icon.
2. In the task ribbon, select the Manage Services task icon.
3. In the Manage Services screen, select the multipoint-to-multipoint service for which you want to view the functional audit results.
4. Open the Actions drawer and select View Functional Audit Results.

   For a multipoint-to-multipoint service, a screen similar to the following appears:

   
   

   The right panel shows the overall service status and general information about the service. A green up-arrow in the Service Status header bar indicates that the service has passed the functional audit in both the control plane and the data plane. A red down-arrow indicates that the service failed either the control plane validation or the data plane validation.

   The left panel lists each endpoint in the service. Each listed endpoint name includes:

   • The interface name, for example ge-0/3/4.
   • A numeric value indicating the subinterface name—the VLAN-ID for an 802.1Q interface, the service VLAN-ID for a Q-in-Q interface, or 0 for a dedicated port.
   • The device name.

   An icon next to the endpoint name identifies the service role of the endpoint and its up or down status as shown in Table 4:

   Table 4: Multipoint-to-Multipoint Service Endpoint Icons

   Icon	Meaning
   	Multipoint-to-multipoint (full mesh) node. Endpoint state is up.
   	Multipoint-to-multipoint (full mesh) node. Endpoint state is down.

5. In the left panel header, to show all device endpoints in the service, select All. To display only the device endpoints indicating failed validation, select Failed. Failed is dimmed and cannot be selected if the functional audit returned no validation errors.
6. To view service information related to a specific endpoint, select the endpoint. Endpoint status information appears in the right pane and includes the device name, the device topology (VPLS full mesh), the operational state of the endpoint (up or down), the number of remote sites the service connects the device to, and how many of those sites are up or down. For example:
   
7. To list each link in the service, expand each endpoint.

   An icon next to the link indicates the status of the link.

   Table 5: Link Status Icons

   Icon	Meaning
   	Control plane and data plane function correctly.
   	Errors were reported in the functioning of either the control plane or the data plane.

8. To view control plane and data plane validation results for a specific link, select that link.
   

   The panel to the right shows the validation results for the control plane validation and data plane validation for the selected link. Icons indicate the success or failure of each of these sets of tests. Table 6 explains each of these icons and the textual information provided in the box beside the icon.

   Table 6: Multipoint-to-Multipoint Service Control Plane and Data Plane Validation Icons

   Icon	Meaning	Explanation
   	Control plane up	The text box shows the name of the remote N-PE device and confirms that the data plane is operational.
   	Control plane down	The text box shows the name of the configured remote N-PE device and, in the Command status field, explains why the test failed.
   	Control plane status unknown	The text box indicates the name of the configured remote N-PE device and, in the Result field, an explanation as to why the functional audit operation was unable to test the control plane—for example, configuration was missing on the device.
   	Data plane up	The text box indicates the number of packets transmitted and received, and confirms that no data packets were lost during the audit.
   	Data plane down	The text box indicates that data packets were lost during the audit.
   	Data plane status unknown	The functional audit was unable to complete the data plane test. The Result field in the text box indicates the reason—for example, the platform does not support data plane testing, or the connection to the remote N-PE device is down.

   The control plane and data plane validation checks must both show operational status for the link to be considered operational.

Viewing the Results of a Functional Audit of a Point-to-Multipoint Service

Data plane information between two endpoints in a VPLS service shows only for MX Series devices. This information is not provided for M Series devices. Junos Release 9.3 and Junos Release 9.4 do not support data plane validation. The Functional Audit Results screens do not display data plane validation information if any device in the service is running one of these Junos releases.

After performing a functional audit on a point-to-multipoint service, to view the functional audit results, follow these steps:

1. In the Ethernet Activator task ribbon, select the Service Provisioning task icon.
2. In the task ribbon, select the Manage Services task icon.
3. In the Manage Services screen, select the VPLS service for which you want to view the functional audit results.
4. Open the Actions drawer and select View Functional Audit Results.

   For a point-to-multipoint service, a screen similar to the following one appears:

   
   

   The right panel shows the overall service status and general information about the service. A green up-arrow in the Service Status header bar indicates that the service has passed the functional audit in both the control plane and the data plane. A red down-arrow indicates that the service failed either the control plane validation or the data plane validation.

   The left panel lists each endpoint in the service. Each listed endpoint name includes:

   • The interface name, for example ge-0/3/4.
   • A numeric value indicating the subinterface name—the VLAN-ID for an 802.1Q interface, the service VLAN-ID for a Q-in-Q interface, or 0 for a dedicated port.
   • The device name.

   Icons representing the endpoint indicate it’s role in the service and its up or down state. Table 7 explains these icons.

   Table 7: Point-to-Multipoint Service Endpoint Icons

   Icon	Meaning
   	Hub in a point-to-multipoint service. Endpoint state is up.
   	Hub in a point-to-multipoint service. Endpoint state is down.
   	Spoke in a point-to-multipoint service. Endpoint state is up.
   	Spoke in a point-to-multipoint service. Endpoint state is down.

5. In the left panel header, to show all device endpoints in the service, select All. To display only the device endpoints indicating failed validation, select Failed. Failed is dimmed and cannot be selected if the functional audit returned no validation errors.
6. To view service information related to a specific endpoint, select the endpoint. Endpoint status information appears in the right pane and includes the device name, UNI name, the device topology (VPLS full mesh, hub, or spoke), the operational status of the device (up or down), the number of remote sites the service connects the device to, and how many of those sites are up or down.
7. To list each link in the service, expand each device.

   An icon next to the link indicates the status of the link.

   Table 8: Link Status Icons

   Icon	Meaning
   	Control plane and data plane function correctly.
   	Errors were reported in the functioning of either the control plane or the data plane.

8. To view control plane and data plane validation results for a specific link, select that link.
   

   The panel to the right shows the validation results for the control plane validation and data plane validation for the selected link. Icons indicate the success or failure of each of these sets of tests. Table 9 explains each of these icons and the textual information provided in the box beside the icon.

   Table 9: Point-to-Multipoint Service Control Plane and Data Plane Validation Icons

   Icon	Meaning	Explanation
   	Control plane up	The text box shows the name of the remote N-PE device and confirms that the data plane is operational.
   	Control plane down	The text box shows the name of the configured remote N-PE device and, in the Command status field, explains why the test failed.
   	Control plane status unknown	The text box indicates the name of the configured remote N-PE device and, in the Result field, an explanation as to why the functional audit operation was unable to test the control plane—for example, configuration was missing on the device.
   	Data plane up	The text box indicates the number of packets transmitted and received, and confirms that no data packets were lost during the audit.
   	Data plane down	The text box indicates that data packets were lost during the audit.
   	Data plane status unknown	The functional audit was unable to complete the data plane test. The Result field in the text box indicates the reason—for example, the platform does not support data plane testing, or the connection to the remote N-PE device is down.

   The control plane and data plane validation checks must both show operational status for the link to be considered operational.
