Field Description
Functions that the interface of the local entity can perform, such
as link monitoring or responding to remote loopback requests.
With this information a peer can determine what functions are
supported and accessible; for example, loopback capability. All
the configured settings on the local interface for OAM tasks are
displayed in this field
Displays one or more of the following values:
unidirectional—Indicates the ability to operate a link in a
unidirectional mode for diagnostic purposes
loopback—Indicates whether remote loopback is supported or
unsupported
link events—Indicates whether interpreting link events is
supported or unsupported on the remote peer
variable retrieval—Indicates whether the local OAM entity
supports receipt of performance MIB variables from its peer
entity variable requests using Variable Request OAM PDUs
State of the multiplexer functions of the OAM sublayer for the
local OAM entity. Device is forwarding non-OAM PDUs to the
lower sublayer or discarding non-OAM PDUs
State of the parser functions of the OAM sublayer for the local
OAM entity. Device is forwarding non-OAM PDUs to higher
sublayer, looping back non-OAM PDUs to the lower sublayer, or
discarding non-OAM PDUs
MAC address of the interface of the remote peer
Discovery mode of the interface of the remote peer:
active—The interface discovers and monitors the entity on the
other side of the link if that entity also supports IEEE 802.3ah
OAM functionality.
passive—An OAM entity does not initiate the discovery process.
You cannot perform link-fault management if you configure
both the local client and the remote peer for passive mode
