Configuring MPLS OAM

The MPLS OAM provides the MPLS network with complete fault detection and location mechanisms and the performance monitoring function at the tunnel layer.

Prerequisites

A static MPLS tunnel must be created.

Procedure

  1. In the NE Explorer, select an NE and choose Configuration > Packet Configuration > MPLS Management > Unicast Tunnel Management from the Function Tree.
  2. Click the OAM Parameters tab. In the OAM Status area, click Enabled.

  3. Set the parameters.

    NOTE:

    Note the following during parameter settings:

    • Detection Packet Period: When the Detection Packet Type is set to CV, the Detection Packet Period is 1 s and cannot be set. When the Detection Packet Type is set to FFD, the Detection Packet Period can be set.
    • Reverse Tunnel: Send the BDI packets that carry the defect information to the ingress node so that the ingress node can learn the defect status in time.
    • When the Tunnel Type is set to Egress, you can set the SD Threshold and SF Threshold.

  4. Click Apply. The Operation Result dialog box is displayed, indicating that the operation is successful.
  5. Click Close.
  6. Optional: Perform CV/FFD test. Click the OAM Parameters tab and select a tunnel. Click OAM Operation and choose Start CV/FFD from the drop-down menu. The Operation Result dialog box is displayed, indicating that the operation is successful.

    NOTE:

    When the Node Type of the tunnel is Ingress, the CV/FFD can be enabled.

  7. Optional: Perform a ping test.
    1. Click the OAM Parameters tab and select a tunnel. Click OAM Operation and choose Ping Test from the drop-down menu. The Ping Test dialog box is displayed.

      NOTE:

      When the Node Type of the tunnel is Ingress, you can perform the ping test.

    2. Set the parameters.
    3. Click Start Test. View the ping test result.
  8. Optional: Perform an LSP Traceroute test.
    1. Click the OAM Parameters tab and select a tunnel. Click OAM Operation and choose Traceroute Test from the drop-down menu. The Traceroute Test dialog box is displayed.

      NOTE:

      To support the traceroute test, the Tunnel Type of the tunnel must be Ingress.

    2. Set the parameters.
    3. Click Start Test and view the traceroute test result.
