Enabling the Hello Packets Monitoring and Setting the OAM
Connectivity Timeout
The
oam connectivity-timeout
command, in MEF OAM Configuration mode, enables the
received Hello packets monitoring according to the timeout threshold interval and optionally sets
the maximum timeout threshold in seconds. The 0 value disables the connectivity monitoring.
The
no
form of this command resets the OAM connectivity timeout threshold monitoring to its
default value.
If during the specified timeout no Hello multicasts were received from the remote device, an alarm
is raised.
If a Hello packet is not received from the remote device for the configured timeout period (by
default 90 seconds), a log is created. The log appears within the configured recalculation period
(by default 15 seconds), thus causing a slight delay.

By default, the connectivity timeout threshold is 90 seconds.
Command Syntax

oam connectivity-timeout
[
<connectivity-
timeout>
]
device-name
(config-oam
LEVEL

no oam connectivity-timeout
Argument Description
connectivity-timeout
(Optional). Maximum timeout in seconds for the device on the
network using the Hello packets mechanism. The range is <0-
3600> seconds. The 0 value disables the connectivity monitoring.
Example
device-name
(config)#
oam bridge 240
device-name
(config-oam 240)#
oam connectivity-timeout 0
device-name
(config)#
end

Setting the Transmission Rate of the Hello Packets
The
oam hello-rate
command, in MEF OAM Configuration mode, sets the transmission rate of the
Hello packets. The
no
form of this command resets the transmission rate of the Hello packets to its
default value.
By default, the rate of Hello packets is 1 per transmission.
Command Syntax
device-name
(config-oam
LEVEL
)#
oam hello-rate <hello-rate>
device-name
(config-oam
LEVEL
)#
no oam hello-rate
