Ethernet OAM Default Configuration
The default configuration is as follows:
•
Ethernet OAM is disabled on all interfaces.
•
When Ethernet OAM is enabled on an interface, link monitoring is automatically turned on.
•
Remote loopback is disabled.
•
No Ethernet OAM templates are configured.
Ethernet OAM Configuration Guidelines
Follow these guidelines when configuring Ethernet OAM:
•
The switch does not support monitoring of egress frames sent with cyclic redundancy code (CDC)
errors. The
ethernet oam link-monitor transmit crc
interface-configuration or
template-configuration commands are visible but are not supported on the switch. The commands
are accepted but are not applied to an interface.
•
For a remote failure indication, the switch does not generate Link Fault or Critical Event OAM
PDUs. However, if these PDUs are received from a link partner, they are processed. The switch
generates and receives Dying Gasp OAM PDUs when Ethernet OAM is disabled, the interface is
shut down, the interface enters the error-disabled state, or the switch is reloading. It can respond to,
but not generate, Dying Gasp PDUs based on loss of power.
•
The switch does not support Ethernet OAM loopback on ports that belong to an EtherChannel, ISL
trunk, and promiscuous trunk.
