Chapter 31 Ethernet OAM Commands
Ethernet OAM (standing for Operation, Administration, and Maintenance) is Layer 2 protocol that
is used for monitoring and troubleshooting Ethernet networks. It can report the network status to
network administrators through the OAMPDUs exchanged between two OAM entities. The
operation of OAM on an Ethernet interface does not adversely affect data traffic as OAM is a slow
protocol with very limited bandwidth potential.
