The Y.1564 Module provides an out-of-service test methodology to assess the proper configuration and performance of an Ethernet Service prior to customer notification and delivery.
These articles describe the Y.1564 module configuration on a switch. These articles describe the configuration details through CLI (Command Line Interface).
The reader is expected to have a basic knowledge of the ITU-T Y.1564 Ethernet Service Activation Test Methodology as a prerequisite.

General Configurations
The Y.1564 is configurable and managed by CLI and SNMP interfaces. This section provides the various modes for the CLI configuration.
CLI Command Modes
This section describes the various command modes available in the CLI configuration for Y.1564. The following table lists the command modes, access and exit methods of the modes, and the prompt displayed in the modes.
The following table lists the access and exit methods for various general configuration modes.
CLI Command Modes
| Command Mode | Access Method | Prompt | Exit Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| User EXEC | This is the initial mode to start a session. | your product> | The logout method is used. |
| Privileged EXEC | The User EXEC mode command enable is used to enter the Privileged EXEC mode. | your product# | The command disable is used to return to the User EXEC mode. |
| Global Configuration | The Privileged EXEC mode command configures the terminal, is used to enter the Global Configuration Mode. | your product(config)# | The command exit/end is used to exit to the Privileged EXEC mode. |
| Multiple Instance Configuration | The Global Configuration mode command switch is used to enter the Multiple Instance Configuration modes. | your product(config-switch)# | To exit to the Global Configuration mode, the exit command is used, and to exit to the Privileged EXEC mode, the end command is used. |
| Interface Configuration | The Global Configuration Mode command interface < interface-type >< interface-id >, is used to enter the Interface Configuration Mode. | your product(config-if)# | To exit to the Global Configuration mode, the exit command is used, and to exit to the Privileged EXEC mode, the end command is used. |
| VLAN Configuration | The Multiple Instance Configuration mode command VLAN < VLAN ID > is used to enter the VLAN configuration mode. | your product(config-switch-vlan)# | To exit to the Multiple Instance Configuration mode, the exit command is used, and to exit to the Privileged EXEC mode, the end command is used. |
| SLA Configuration | The Global Configuration Mode command Y1564 sla < sla-id >, is used to enter the SLA Configuration Mode. | your product(config-sla-1564)# | The command exit is used to exit to the Global Configuration mode. The command end is used to exit to the Privileged EXEC mode. |
