Configuring The Ethernet Oam Connection Detection Timers; Configuring Link Monitoring - HP 6125XLG Configuration Manual

Configuring the Ethernet OAM connection
detection timers
After an Ethernet OAM connection is established, the Ethernet OAM entities exchange Information
OAMPDUs at the handshake packet transmission interval to detect the availability of the Ethernet OAM
connection. If an Ethernet OAM entity receives no Information OAMPDU within the Ethernet OAM
connection timeout time, the Ethernet OAM connection is considered disconnected.
By adjusting the handshake packet transmission interval and the connection timeout timer, you can
change the detection time resolution for Ethernet OAM connections.
You can configure this command in system view or interface view. The configuration in system view takes
effect on all ports, and the configuration in interface view takes effect on the specified port. For a port,
the configuration in interface view takes precedence.
After the timeout timer of an Ethernet OAM connection expires, the local OAM entity ages out its
connection with the peer OAM entity, causing the OAM connection to disconnect. To keep the Ethernet
OAM connections stable, HP recommends that you set the connection timeout timer at least five times
higher than the handshake packet transmission interval.
To configure the Ethernet OAM connection detection timers globally:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Configure the Ethernet OAM
handshake packet
transmission interval.
3. Configure the Ethernet OAM
connection timeout timer.
To configure the Ethernet OAM connection detection timers on a port:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter Ethernet interface view.
3. Configure the Ethernet OAM
handshake packet
transmission interval.
4. Configure the Ethernet OAM
connection timeout timer.

Configuring link monitoring

After Ethernet OAM connections are established, the link monitoring periods and thresholds configured
in this section automatically take effect on all Ethernet interfaces.
