About Y.1564 for Service Activation Testing
Y.1564 tests support standardized testing for turning up, installing and troubleshooting Ethernet-based services. This section describes how to set up Y.1564 in your Metro Ethernet network in order to perform end-to-end Ethernet service activation tests.
You can run a Y.1564 est to determine the conformance of a network section or a specific device to a service level agreement (SLA) and/or to meet Ethernet standards. You can define a total of eight flows per test. You need to configure test parameters on both sides of the flow. See the ITU-T Y.1564 standard for the definition of parameters and tests.
About the Y.1564 Page
You set up Y.1564 tests in the Service Performance ▶ Y.1564 Configuration page.
The Y.1564 page has two tabs:
- Configuration - Lists all test profiles that have already been defined. Allows you to add new test profiles.
- Results - Lists results of tests that have been performed. Allows you to display results on-screen and to export results in various formats.
