Ethernet OAM link events Descri

Errored frame event
An errored frame event occurs when the number of detected error frames in
the detection window (specified detection interval) exceeds the predefined
threshold.
Errored frame period event
An errored frame period event occurs when the number of frame errors in
the detection window (specified number of received frames) exceeds the
predefined threshold.
Errored frame seconds event
An errored frame seconds event occurs when the number of errored frame
seconds (the second in which an errored frame appears is called an
"errored frame second") detected on a port in the detection window
(specified detection interval) reaches the predefined threshold.
Remote fault detection
Information OAMPDUs are exchanged periodically among Ethernet OAM entities across established
OAM connections. In a network where traffic is interrupted due to device failures or unavailability, the
flag field defined in Information OAMPDUs allows an Ethernet OAM entity to send error information (any
critical link event type shown in Table 4) to its peer
. You can use the log information to track ongoing link
status and troubleshoot problems promptly.

Link Fault Peer link signal is lost. Once per second.
Dying Gasp
An unexpected fault, such as power failure,
occurred.
Non-stop.
Critical Event An undetermined critical event happened. Non-stop.
This Switch Series is able to receive Information OAMPDUs carrying the critical link events listed in Table
4.
T
his Switch Series does not support sending of Information OAMPDUs carrying Link Fault events.
This Switch Series is able to send Information OAMPDUs carrying Dying Gasp events when the device is
rebooted or relevant ports are manually shut down. Physical IRF ports, however, are unable to send this
type of OAMPDUs.
This Switch Series is unable to send Information OAMPDUs carrying Critical Events.
