Configuring basic Ethernet OAM functions
For Ethernet OAM connection establishment, an Ethernet OAM entity operates in active mode or passive
mode. Only an Ethernet OAM entity in active mode can initiate connection establishment. After Ethernet
OAM is enabled on an Ethernet port, according to its Ethernet OAM mode, the Ethernet port establishes
an Ethernet OAM connection with its peer port.
To change the Ethernet OAM mode on an Ethernet OAM-enabled port, you must first disable Ethernet
OAM on the port.
To configure basic Ethernet OAM functions:
To do...
•
Enter system view
• Enter Layer 2 Ethernet
