Thank you for your feedback
RFC 2544 and Y.1564 Service Activation Tests
Endpoint Definition
To perform Service Activation Tests (SAT) using the RESTCONF YANG interface, you must first create the service-endpoints.
The example below defines two Assurance Sensor SFP devices as endpoints for tests. The key parameters are:
- nid-id - Specifies the Provider Connectivity Assurance Sensor Control instance that is controlling the Assurance Sensor SFP.
- sub-id - Specifies the Assurance Sensor SFP ID.
- port - Specifies which port on the Assurance Sensor SFP to test from: NNI is the side facing the Assurance Sensor Control, and UNI is the other end of the Assurance Sensor SFP.
RESTCONF POST :: /restconf/dataAccedian-service-endpoint:service-endpoints
{
"Accedian-service-endpoint:service-endpoint": [
{
"endpoint-id": "my_first_endpoint",
"endpoint-name": "my_first_endpoint",
"description": "SAT y1564 or RFC2544 endpoint",
"type": "Accedian-service-endpoint-type:nid-endpoint",
"config": {
"Accedian-service-endpoint-nid:nid-config": {
"nid-id": "PCASC-DEMO-1",
"sub-id": "P802-0325",
"port": "P802-0325-NNI"
}
}
},
{
"endpoint-id": "my_second_endpoint",
"endpoint-name": "my_second_endpoint",
"description": "SAT y1564 or RFC2544 endpoint",
"type": "Accedian-service-endpoint-type:nid-endpoint",
"config": {
"Accedian-service-endpoint-nid:nid-config": {
"nid-id": "PCASC-DEMO-1",
"sub-id": "P802-0323",
"port": "P802-0323-UNI"
}
}
}
]
}
If you use a third-party loopback device that is not managed by the Provider Connectivity Assurance system, a service-endpoint of the appropriate type must be defined for that endpoint. This type of service-endpoint only includes ID, name, group, and geo-location data.
Below is an example of adding an unmanaged endpoint for testing towards a third-party loopback:
RESTCONF POST :: /restconf/data/Accedian-service-endpoint:service-endpoints
{
"Accedian-service-endpoint:service-endpoint":[{
"endpoint-id":"example-unmanaged",
"endpoint-name":"example-unmanaged",
"geo-location":{
"latitude":"51.5072",
"longitude":"0.1276"
},
"type":"Accedian-service-endpoint-type:unmanaged-endpoint"
}]
}
The image above illustrates two Assurance Sensor SFP endpoints and one third-party responder/loopback.
