This page allows the user to inspect the current Link OAM port configurations, and change
them as well.
Port
The switch port number.
OAM Enabled
Controls whether Link OAM is enabled on this switch port. Enabling Link OAM provides the network
operators the ability to monitor the health of the network and quickly determine the location of failing
links or fault conditions.
OAM Mode
Configures the OAM Mode as Active or Passive. The default mode is Passive.
ACTIVE MODE
DTE's configured in Active mode initiate the exchange of Information OAMPDUs as defined by the
Discovery process. Once the Discovery process completes, Active DTE's are permitted to send any
OAMPDU while connected to a remote OAM peer entity in Active mode. Active DTE's operate in a
limited respect if the remote OAM entity is operating in Passive mode. Active devices should not respond
to OAM remote loopback commands and variable requests from a Passive peer.
