ATM OAM Ping
The ATM OAM Ping feature sends an ATM Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) packet to confirm the connectivity of a specific permanent virtual circuit (PVC). The status of the PVC is displayed when a response to the OAM packet is received. The ATM OAM Ping feature allows the network administrator to verify PVC integrity and facilitates ATM network troubleshooting.

Prerequisites for the ATM OAM Ping Feature
A PVC corresponding to the virtual path identifier (VPI) and virtual channel identifier (VCI) values entered with the ping command should already exist. (For Cisco 827 series routers, the virtual circuit need not exist.)
For information about how to configure ATM PVCs, see the section "Configuring PVCs" in the chapter "Configuring ATM" in the Cisco IOS Asynchronous Transfer Mode Configuration Guide.
Restrictions for the ATM OAM Ping Feature
The ATM OAM Ping feature does not support pings based on the following:
Network service access point (NSAP) addresses
Multiple-hop loopbacks
Loopback location identification
Information About the ATM OAM Ping Feature
Benefits of the ATM OAM Ping Feature
The ATM OAM Ping feature modifies the pingcommand, which can be used to send an OAM packet to verify PVC connectivity. The status of the PVC is displayed when a response to the OAM packet is received. This is a common method for testing the accessibility of devices.
The ping atm interface atm command provides two ATM OAM ping options:
End loopback--Verifies end-to-end PVC integrity.
Segment loopback--Verifies PVC integrity to the immediate neighboring ATM device.
The ping atm interface atm command is used to determine the following:
Whether a remote host is active or inactive.
The round-trip delay in communicating with the host.
Packet loss.
The simpler ping command provides an interactive mode for testing ATM network connectivity. The ping command first sends an OAM command loopback cell to the destination and then waits for an OAM response loopback cell. The ping is successful only when the following criteria are met:
The OAM command loopback cell reaches the destination.
The destination is able to send an OAM loopback response cell back to the source within a predetermined time called a timeout . The default value of the timeout is 2 seconds on Cisco routers.

The ATM OAM Ping feature lets the router automatically detect when a peer ATM interface is in loopback mode. When loopback is detected on an interface where end-to-end F5 OAM is enabled, the impacted PVC is moved to a DOWN state, and traffic is suspended. When the loopback condition in the peer ATM interface is removed, the PVC is moved back to an UP state. The following command was introduced: ping atm interface atm |
