OAM Configuration Chapter 1 OAM Configuration 1.1 OAM Overview EFM OAM of IEEE 802.3ah provides point-to-point link trouble/performance detection on the single link. However, EFM OAM cannot be applied to EVC and so terminal-to-terminal Ethernet monitoring cannot be realized. OAM PDU cannot be forwarded to other interfaces.
OAM Configuration Remote trouble indication It is difficult to check troubles in the Ethernet, especially the case that the network performance slows down while physical network communication continues. OAM PDU defines a flag domain to allow Ethernet OAM entity to transmit the trouble information to the peer.
OAM Configuration Capacity Active Mode Passive Mode Initializing the Ethernet OAM discovery process Responding to the OAM discovery initialization process Transmitting the Information OAM PDU packet Permitting to transmit the Event Notification OAM PDU packet Allowing to transmit the Variable Request OAM PDU packet Allowing to transmit Variable Response OAM PDU packet...
OAM Configuration Destination address: means the destination MAC address of the Ethernet OAM packet. Source address: Source MAC address of the Ethernet OAM packet It is the MAC address of the transmitter terminal's port and also a unicast MAC address.
OAM Configuration Configuring OAM link monitoring Configuring the trouble notification from remote OAM entity Displaying the information about OAM protocol 1.3 OAM Configuration Tasks 1.3.1 Enabling OAM on an Interface Run the following command to enable OAM: Proced Command Purpose...
OAM Configuration Step1 config Enters the global configuration mode. Step2 interface intf-type intf-id Enters the interface configuration mode. Step3 ethernet remote-loopback Configures optional loopback parameters from the {supported | timeout seconds} remote OAM: The supported parameter is used to enable an interface to support the remote loopback of Ethernet OAM.

OAM Configuration 1000M Ethernet interface and its default value is 10 in this case, while the window size ranges between 1 and 60 on a 100M Ethernet interface and its default value is 1 in this case. Step5 ethernet link-monitor Sets the high and low thresholds of the error frame frame {threshold...
OAM Configuration second. It ranges between 10 and 900 and its default value is 60. Step8 Sets the high and low thresholds of the error CRC ethernet link-monitor receive-crc {threshold {high frame event, which triggers the link events of CRC symbols |none} checksum error.
OAM Configuration the administrator. The link-fault parameter is used to enable an interface to enter the errdisabled state when the receiver detects signal loss. MY COMPANY switch cannot generate the LINK FAULT packets and the Critical Event packets. However, these packets will be handled if they are received from the remote terminal.
