(Optional.) Configuring the action a port takes after it receives an Ethernet OAM event from the remote end

Configuring basic Ethernet OAM functions

To set up an Ethernet OAM connection between two Ethernet OAM entities, you must set at least one

entity to operate in active mode. An Ethernet OAM entity can initiate OAM connection only in active

mode.

To change the Ethernet OAM mode on an Ethernet OAM-enabled port, first disable Ethernet OAM on the

port.

To configure basic Ethernet OAM functions:

Ste

Command

Remarks

1. Enter system view.

2. Enter Layer 2 Ethernet port

view.

3. Set the Ethernet OAM mode.

oam mode { active | passive }

The default is active Ethernet OAM

mode.

4. Enable Ethernet OAM.

oam enable

Ethernet OAM is disabled by

default.

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.
