Passive Mode - Optical Systems Design OSD2512 User Manual

PASSIVE MODE

DTE's configured in Passive mode do not initiate the Discovery process. Passive DTE's react
to the initiation of the Discovery process by the remote DTE. This eliminates the possibility of
passive to passive links. Passive DTE's shall not send Variable Request or Loopback Control
OAMPDUs.
Loopback Support
Controls whether the loopback support is enabled for the switch port. Link OAM remote
loopback can be used for fault localization and link performance testing. Enabling the
loopback support will allow the DTE to execute the remote loopback command that helps in
the fault detection.
Link Monitor Support
Controls whether the Link Monitor support is enabled for the switch port. On enabling the
Link Monitor support, the DTE supports event notification that permits the inclusion of
diagnostic information.
MIB Retrieval Support
Controls whether the MIB Retrieval Support is enabled for the switch port. On enabling the
MIB retrieval support, the DTE supports polling of various Link OAM based MIB variables'
contents.
Loopback Operation
If the Loopback support is enabled, enabling this field will start a loopback operation for the
port.
