Falcon M-Class | User Guide 4.22.2 Ethernet Connectivity Fault Management Ethernet Fault Management is an end-to-end per-service Ethernet layer OAM protocol that includes proactive connectivity monitoring, fault verification, and fault isolation. Monitoring and troubleshooting carrier networks offering Ethernet Layer 2 services is challenging. Customers contract with service providers for end-to-end Ethernet service, and service providers may subcontract with operators to provide equipment and networks.
Page 307 Falcon M-Class | User Guide 4.22.2.1 Maintenance Domain A maintenance domain is a management space for the purpose of managing and administering a network. A domain is owned and operated by a single entity and defined by the set of devices and ports internal to it and at its boundary.
Page 308 Falcon M-Class | User Guide communicated among the administering organizations. For example, one approach would be to have the service provider assign maintenance levels to operators. Service OAM exchanges messages and performs operations on a per-domain basis. For example: running Service OAM at the operator level does not allow discovery of the network by the higher provider and customer levels.

Page 311 Falcon M-Class | User Guide 4.22.2.3 OAM Messages Service OAM uses standard Ethernet frames Service OAM frames are distinguishable by Ether Type and for multicast messages by MAC address. Service OAM frames are sourced, terminated, processed, and relayed by bridges. Routers can support only limited Service OAM functions. Bridges that cannot interpret Service OAM messages forward them as normal data frames.

Falcon M-Class | User Guide DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) DHCP is an acronym for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It provides a complete description of a mathematical algorithm for encrypting (enciphering) and decrypting (deciphering) binary coded information. DHCP used by networked computers (clients) to obtain IP addresses and other parameters such as the default gateway, subnet mask, and IP addresses of DNS servers from a DHCP server.
