Usage Guidelines
•
An existing SAA with the SAA type configured must be specified with this command.
•
Use the saa stop command to stop an SAA test that is already running.
•
Use the at option to specify a date and time for the test to start.
•
If an SAA is scheduled to start at a specified time and another saa start command with a different
value is given before the specified time, the subsequent command will over-ride the previous
command.
•
If the saa start command is given after an SAA is started, then the CLI will return an error.
•
If the IP Ping SAA is configured with a source IP that does not exist or is not active, then the packet is
not transmitted and no error is returned. Swlogs are updated.
•
ICMP must be enabled on the switch. If ICMP is disabled and an IP Ping SAA is started, then the itera-
tion will timeout and will be treated as failed iteration.
•
Immediately after a CMM restart (reboot or takeover), the command to start SAA will be accepted, but
the actual execution of the iteration will start 5 minutes after the CMM restart.
•
If the ETH-DM or ETH-LB SAA type was configured with a source MEP that does not exist or is not
active (admin down), then the packet is not transmitted and no error is returned on the CLI console.
Swlogs are updated.
•
It is recommended that all the SAAs be rescheduled if the system time is changed.
