test (Y.1564)

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Configure Y.1564 Ethernet service activation tests. You perform these tests after service activation to verify that a newly operational network feature to be used by a customer is working properly. Once the tests pass, you can notify the customer that the feature is ready to be used.

Default

Disabled

Options

test-name

Name of the Y.1564 test.

mode initiate-and-terminate

Initiate and terminate the test on the chosen service. In this mode, the device generates traffic according to the test and services configuration and also receives the traffic and measures the necessary characteristics.

direction (ingress | egress)

Specify the direction of the interface on which the test must be run.

When direction is set to ingress and the mode is set to initiate-and-terminate, the initiator generates traffic sourced from the user–network interface (UNI) interface. This traffic traverses the Packet Forwarding Engine for the Layer 2 (L2) service forwarding lookup, and the traffic goes through the network-to-network interface (NNI) interface toward the reflector.

When direction is set to egress and the mode is set to initiate-and-terminate, the initiator generates traffic sourced from the NNI interface. The traffic travels directly outbound toward the reflector. 

duration number

Duration of the test. The actual length of the test is always slightly longer than this configured duration, because the running step is always expected to complete correctly. You also need to take into account that between each step there is a pause of 2 seconds.

  • Range: 1 second (1s) to 24 hours (24h)

  • Syntax: the units can be:

    • s — seconds

    • m — minutes

    • h — hours

interface interface-name

Network interface that is used as the packet's entry point.

You cannot run tests for both RFC 2544 and Y.1564 simultaneously on the same interface. Only one Y.1564 test can be run at a time on an interface.

The remaining statements are explained separately. Search for a statement in CLI Explorer or click a linked statement in the Syntax section for details.
