You can perform an NE ID-based traceroute (ECC traceroute) test on NEs to check the communication between two NEs, find the transit NEs between them, and locate a fault. From the test result, you can learn transit nodes and the communication status between the two NEs.
Prerequisites
This function is applicable to the OptiX OSN 500/550/580/1500/2500/3500/7500 V100R010C02 or later.
Context
The traceroute test for the IP network serves to test the communication between two NEs only on the IP network. If the NEs belong to the ECC network, the test cannot be performed. The ECC traceroute test can be directly performed based on NE IDs to check the communication between two NEs across ECC and IP networks.
Procedure
- In the NE Explorer, select an NE and choose from the Function Tree.
- In the NE ECC Link Management Table window, click Reachability Test and choose from the drop-down list.
- In the Traceroute dialog box, set Target NE and other parameters.
- Click Start Test.
- View the test result in the Test Result area.
