Ethernet interfaces capable of running at 100 Mbps or faster on EX Series switches, MX
Series, M Series (except M5 and M10 routers), and T Series routers support the IEEE
802.3ah standard for Operation, Administration, and Management (OAM). You can
configure IEEE 802.3ah OAM on Ethernet point-to-point direct links or links across Ethernet
repeaters. The IEEE 802.3ah standard meets the requirement for OAM capabilities as
Ethernet moves from being solely an enterprise technology to being a WAN and access
technology, as well as being backward-compatible with existing Ethernet technology.
Junos OS supports IEEE 802.3ah link-fault management.
