You can set the error frame monitoring parameters to customize the threshold of link performance and to monitor link performance.
Prerequisites
- The IEEE 802.3ah OAM function must be enabled on the remote equipment.
- Applicable to the LEM18 board of the OptiX OSN 1800(NA).
- Applies to the TBE board of OptiX OSN 6800A and OptiX OSN 3800A.
- Applicable to the 11LEX4, 11LEM24 board of the OptiX OSN 6800A, OptiX OSN 3800A, OptiX OSN 8800 T32(NA) and OptiX OSN 8800 T64(NA).
Context
After the OAM auto-discovery succeeds, set Error Frame Period Window (Frames) and Error Frame Monitor Threshold, and set Remote Alarm Support for Link Event to Enabled for the local equipment. If the local equipment detects a link event in
the receive direction, it informs the opposite equipment of the link event. If the remote alarm for the link event is also supported on the opposite end, the opposite equipment can also inform the local equipment of the link event that is detected
on the side of the opposite end. Then, the ETHOAM_RMT_SD alarm is reported on the local end, prompting the maintenance personnel to handle the link event.
Procedure
- In the NE Explorer, select an Ethernet board and choose from the Function Tree. Click the OAM Error Frame Monitor tab.
- Select a port and set the error frame monitoring parameters.
If the number of error frames in a link exceeds the specified error frame monitor threshold, a performance event is reported.
- Click Apply.
