Port The switch port number.
OAM Enabled Controls whether Link OAM is enabled on this switch port. Enabling Link
OAM provides the network operators the ability to monitor the health of
the network and quickly determine the location of failing links or fault
conditions.
OAM Mode Configures the OAM Mode as Active or Passive. The default mode is Passive.
Active mode
DTE's configured in Active mode initiates the exchange of Information
OAMPDUs as defined by the Discovery process. Once the Discovery process
completes, Active DTE's are permitted to send any OAMPDU while
connected to a remote OAM peer entity in Active mode. Active DTE's
operates in a limited respect if the remote OAM entity is operating in Passive
mode. Active devices should not respond to OAM remote loopback
commands and variable requests from a Passive peer.
Passive mode
DTE's configured in Active mode initiates the exchange of Information
OAMPDUs as defined by 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
