SOAM Overview
The Y.1731 standard and the MEF-30 specifications define Service OAM (SOAM). SOAM is concerned with
detecting, isolating, and reporting connectivity faults spanning networks comprising multiple LANs, including LANs
other than IEEE 802.3 media.
Y.1731 Ethernet FM (Fault Management) consists of three protocols that operate together to aid in fault
management:
•
Continuity check
•
Link trace
•
Loopback
Note
Link trace are planned for future release.
PTP 820G and PTP 820F utilizes these protocols to maintain smooth system operation and non-stop data flow.
Note
Support for IEEE 802.1ag is planned for future release.
The following are the basic building blocks of FM:
•
MD (Maintenance Domain) – An MD defines the management space on a network, typically owned and
operated by a single entity, for which connectivity faults are managed via SOAM.
•
MA/MEG (Maintenance Association/Maintenance Entity Group) – An MA/MEG contains a set of MEPs or
MIPs.
