OAM Parameter

In this user interface, you can configure Ethernet port OAM parameters and perform port OAM check.

Navigation Path

In the NE Explorer, select a board and choose Configuration > Ethernet Maintenance > Ethernet Port OAM from the Function Tree. Click the OAM Parameter tab.

Buttons

Button		Description
OAM	Enable Remote Loopback	Sets to enable the OAM remote loopback.
OAM	Disable Remote Loopback	Sets to disable the OAM remote loopback.

Parameters

Field	Value	Description
Port	For example: PORT3	Displays the port name.
Enable OAM Protocol	Enabled, Disabled Default: Disabled	The Enable OAM Protocol parameter specified whether the point-to-point OAM protocol (namely, the IEEE 802.3ah protocol) is enabled at a port. After the OAM protocol is enabled, the current Ethernet port starts to use the preset mode to create the OAM connection to the opposite end.
OAM Working Mode	Active, Passive Default: Active	The OAM Working Mode parameter specifies a negotiation mode defined in IEEE 802.3ah. It involves two modes: Passive and Active. The port for which this field is set to Active can initiate the OAM connection. The port for which this field is set to Passive can only wait for the opposite end to send the OAM connection request.
Link Event Notification	Enabled, Disabled Default: Enabled	The Link Event Notification parameter specifies whether to report the detected link events (for example, Error Frame Period Event, Error Frame Monitor Event, and Error Frame Second Event) to the opposite end.
Max. OAM Packet Length (byte)	For example: 1000	Displays the maximum OAM packet length.
Remote Side Loopback Response	Disabled, Enabled Default: Disabled	If the Remote Side Loopback Response is enabled, this port responds to the loopback request from the opposite end.
Loopback Status	Initiate Loopback at Local, Respond Loopback of Remote, Non-Loopback Default: Non-Loopback	The Loopback Status (OAM Parameter) parameter specifies whether a port on the board is in the loopback state. If yes, the port is in the Initiate Loopback at Local or Respond Loopback of Remote state.
