About This Chapter
This chapter describes Ethernet OAM and its configurations, and how to implement link-level
Ethernet OAM detection to improve network reliability.
4.1 Introduction to Ethernet OAM
Ethernet OAM can effectively improve management and maintenance capabilities on Ethernet
networks, which ensures the stable network operation. Ethernet OAM is applicable mainly to
Ethernet networks.
4.2 Ethernet OAM Supported by the S6700
This section describes the Ethernet OAM features supported by the S6700.
4.3 Configuring Basic EFM OAM
By configuring basic EFM OAM functions, you can detect connectivity of the direct link between
devices.
4.4 Configuring EFM OAM Link Monitoring
By configuring EFM OAM detection for errored codes, errored frames, and errored frame
seconds, you can more effectively detect link layer faults.
4.5 Testing the Packet Loss Ratio on the Physical Link
By testing the packet loss ratio on a physical link, you can take effective measures to ensure
better performance of the link.
4.6 Associating EFM OAM with an Interface
After EFM OAM is associated with an interface, services may be greatly affected. For example,
all the Layer 2 and Layer 3 services may be blocked.
4.7 Configuring Association Between an EFM OAM Session and an Interface (Triggering the
Physical Status of the Interface Associated with the EFM OAM Session to Become Down)
After the association between an EFM OAM session and an interface is configured in the OAM
management view, the local EFM OAM session detects a fault and then notifies the OAM
management module of the fault. This triggers the physical status of the interface associated
with the EFM OAM session to become Down. In addition, when the physical status of an
interface becomes Down, the OAM management module notifies the EFM OAM session of the
fault. The EFM OAM session can then send fault information to the remote device.
