OAM Events

EFM OAM defines a set of events that may impact link operation. The following events are
supported:
•
These critical link events are signaled to the remote DTE by the flag field in OAM PDUs.
The 7210 does not generate EFM OAM PDUs with these flags except for the dying gasp flag.
However, it supports processing of these flags in EFM OAM PDUs received from the peer.
