Enabling the Auto-Discovery Function of IEEE 802.3ah OAM

The OAM auto-discovery serves as a basis to realize the link performance monitoring, fault detection and remote loopback.

Prerequisites

  • Applicable to the TBE board of the OptiX OSN 1800(NA), 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).
  • Applicable to the LEM18 board of the OptiX OSN 1800(NA).

Background Information

  • The OAM mode includes the active mode and the passive mode. For two interconnected systems, the OAM mode of one system must be the active mode. Otherwise, the OAM auto-discovery fails.
  • if the OAM modes of the two systems are both active modes, a link fault occurs, or one system fails to receive the OAM protocol message, an alarm is reported, indicating that the OAM auto-discovery fails.

Procedure

  1. In the NE Explorer, select an Ethernet board and choose Configuration > Ethernet Maintenance > Ethernet Port OAM from the Function Tree.
  2. Click the OAM Parameter tab. In the OAM Working Mode drop-down list, select Active. In the Enable OAM Protocol drop-down list, select Enabled.

  3. Click Apply.
