ANCP Monitoring and Management

Triggering ANCP OAM to Test the Local Loop

You can trigger ANCP OAM to perform a loopback test on the local loop between the access node and the CPE to help isolate simple faults. On an ATM-based local loop, the ANCP operation triggers the access node to generate ATM (F4/F5) loopback cells on the local loop. On an Ethernet-based local loop, the ANCP operation triggers the access node to generate an Ethernet loopback message on the local loop. When the test completes, the access node sends a message to the router with the results.

Issue the request ancp oam neighbor command from CLI operational mode to initiate testing of a local loop identified by the IP address or system name of the ANCP neighbor and the ACI for a subscriber on that access node.

Issue the request ancp oam interface command from CLI operational mode to initiate testing of a local loop identified by the ANCP interface or interface set associated with a subscriber and the ACI for a subscriber on that access node.

With both commands, you can also specify how many times the test must be run and how long the router waits for a response to the OAM request.

To initiate ANCP local loop testing:

  • Identify the loop by the subscriber identifier and the neighbor’s IP address; optionally specify how many times the test runs and the timeout period.

  • Identify the loop by the subscriber identifier and the neighbor’s system name; optionally specify how many times the test runs and the timeout period.

  • Identify the loop by the subscriber identifier and the interface associated with the subscriber; optionally specify how many times the test runs and the timeout period.

  • Identify the loop by the subscriber identifier and the set of interfaces associated with the subscriber; optionally specify how many times the test runs and the timeout period.
