1. Introduction to OAM
Operations, Administration and Management (OAM) are the processes, activities, tools, and standards involved with performing operational, administrative, and management tasks. RBFS provides the following OAM features that enable you troubleshoot RtBrick software:
-
IP ping
-
IP traceroute
-
IP ping on an MPLS transport
-
IP traceroute on an MPLS transport
MPLS ping and traceroute will be supported in the later releases
1.1. Supported Platforms
Not all features are necessarily supported on each hardware platform. Refer to the Platform Guide for the features and the sub-features that are or are not supported by each platform.
2. Using OAM Commands
2.1. Guidelines
-
Execute the OAM commands in the operation mode of cli.
admin@rtbrick:~$ cli admin@rtbrick: cfg> switch-mode operation Activating syntax mode : op [operation] admin@rtbrick: op>
2.2. IP Ping
The IP ping utility is used to check the reachability of an IP address.
2.2.1. IP ping in default instance
The ping command allows you to ping to a destination to see if a networked device is reachable.
Syntax
ping <destination-ip> [source-interface <interface>] count <count> interval <interval> size <size> source-ip <source-ip> ttl <ttl> tos <tos>
Command Parameters
| destination-ip | ipv4 destination address |
|---|---|
interface |
source interface |
count |
count of the ping packet (default 5) |
do-not-fragment |
set the do-not-fragment (DF) bit in IP header |
interval |
interval between the packets (default 1 sec) |
size |
size of the ping packet (default 60) |
source-ip |
