Standards and Protocols

Ethernet OAM is defined in IEEE 802.3h (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection
(CSMA/CD) Access Method and Physical Layer Specifications. Amendment: Media Access Control
Parameters, Physical Layers, and Management Parameters for Subscriber Access Networks).

Ethernet OAM Configuration Task List

Complete the following tasks to configure Ethernet OAM:

Configuring Basic Ethernet OAM Functions

Configuring Errored Frame Event Detection
Configuring
Configuring Errored Frame Period Event Detection

Configuring Basic Ethernet OAM Functions
As for Ethernet OAM connection establishment, a device can operate in active mode or passive mode.
After Ethernet OAM is enabled on an Ethernet port, according to its Ethernet OAM mode, the Ethernet
port establishes an Ethernet OAM connection with its peer port.
Follow these steps to configure basic Ethernet OAM functions:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter Ethernet port view
Set Ethernet OAM operating
mode
Enable Ethernet OAM on the
current port
To change the Ethernet OAM operating mode on an Ethernet OAM-enabled port, you need to first
disable Ethernet OAM on the port.
