Configuring and Enabling Throughput Measurement

This article describes the steps to configure and enable the Throughput Measurement by an MEP.

Throughput Measurement can be measured using either of the following methods:

• One-way Throughput Measurement
• Two-way Throughput Measurement

CLI Configurations

To configure and enable throughput measurement

1. Execute the steps given in CLI Configurations to configure MEP before starting throughput measurement.

2. Execute the steps given in CLI Configurations to enable ECFM and Y.1731.

3. Measure throughput by::

• Starting the One-way Throughput Measurement at an MEP using the destination MAC address.*
  your product# ethernet cfm throughput type one-way mac 00:01:02:03:04:04 level 7 vlan 101 count 15

1217600/1.217600, packet size 1522 bytes
- 00:01:02:03:04:04 one-way throughput statistics -
final throughput 1200000 / 1.200000, packet size 1500 bytes
transmission rate = 100 pps

OR

• Starting the Two-way Throughput Measurement at an MEP using the destination MAC address.
  your product# ethernet cfm throughput type two-way mac 00:01:02:03:04:04 level 7 vlan 101 count 15

1217600/1.217600, packet size 1522 bytes
- 00:01:02:03:04:04 two-way throughput statistics -
final throughput 1200000 / 1.200000, packet size 1500 bytes
transmission rate = 100 pps

To stop throughput measurement

1. Stop the throughput measurement by configuring the count or deadline parameter while initiating the throughput measurement.

To start the Throughput transaction at an MEP using destination MEPID

1. Execute the command:

ethernet cfm throughput type one-way mac 00:01:02:03:04:04 level 7 vlan 101 count 15

• Mac Address of the MEP with specified target “mpid” must be learned prior to the execution of the command.
• For a VLAN-UnAware MEP, vlan keyword must not be provided with the command.
• “count” and “deadline” keyword, if not provided, assumes an infinite number of throughput measurement.
• MEP at specified level and VLAN must be enabled for a two-way throughput transaction that uses loopback functionality. The loopback (ping) capability can be enabled using either set params capability enable ping (runs in ECFM MEP configuration mode) or ethernet cfm mep-capability enable level vlan ping (runs in Global Configuration mode) command.
  Example:
  your product(config-ether-mep)# set params capability enable ping
  your product(config)# ethernet cfm mep-capability enable level 7 vlan 101 ping
• MEP at a specified level and VLAN must be enabled for a one-way throughput transaction that uses test functionality. The test capability can be enabled using either set params capability enable test (runs in ECFM MEP configuration mode) or ethernet cfm mep-capability enable level vlan test (runs in Global Configuration mode) command.
  Example:
  your product(config-ether-mep)# set params capability enable test
  your product(config)# ethernet cfm mep-capability enable level 7 vlan 101 test

SNMP Configurations

To configure and enable throughput measurement

1. Execute the steps given in section 3.3.3.2 to configure MEP before starting throughput measurement.

2. Execute the steps given in section 3.3.8.2 to enable ECFM and Y.1731.

3. Measure throughput by:

• Starting the one-way throughput measurement at an MEP using the destination MAC address. [Index: ContextID = 0, MD-Index = 1, MA-Index = 1, MEP-Index = 5]
  % snmp0 set {{fsMIY1731MepTransmitThType.0.1.1.5 oneWay}}
  % snmp0 set {{fsMIY1731MepTransmitThDestIsMepId.0.1.1.5 false}}
  % snmp0 set {{fsMIY1731MepTransmitThDestMacAddress.0.1.1.5 00:02:02:03:04:0a}}
  % snmp0 set {{fsMIY1731MepTransmitThMessages.0.1.1.5 15}}
  % snmp0 set {{fsMIY1731MepTransmitThStatus.0.1.1.5 start}}

OR

• Starting the two-way throughput measurement at an MEP using destination MAC address. [Index: ContextID = 0, MD-Index = 1, MA-Index = 1, MEP-Index = 5]
  % snmp0 set {{fsMIY1731MepTransmitThType.0.1.1.5 twoWay }}
  % snmp0 set {{fsMIY1731MepTransmitThDestIsMepId.0.1.1.5 false }}
  % snmp0 set {{fsMIY1731MepTransmitThDestMacAddress.0.1.1.5 00:02:02:03:04:0a }}
  % snmp0 set {{fsMIY1731MepTransmitThMessages.0.1.1.5 15 }}
  % snmp0 set {{fsMIY1731MepTransmitThStatus.0.1.1.5 start }}

To stop throughput measurement

1. Stop the one-way throughput measurement at an MEP. [Index: ContextID = 0, MD-Index = 1, MA-Index = 1, MEP-Index = 5]
   % snmp0 set {{fsMIY1731MepTransmitThStatus.0.1.1.5 stop }}

2. Stop the two-way throughput measurement at an MEP. [Index: ContextID = 0, MD-Index = 1, MA-Index = 1, MEP-Index = 5]
   % snmp0 set {{fsMIY1731MepTransmitThStatus.0.1.1.5 stop }}
