take. For more on acceptable Active/Passive mode combinations and actions, see section
Vendor OUI and SPI
Organization Unique identifier and Vendor specific information (similar to MAC address fields).
Max PDU Length
Advertised Max OAM PDU size (64 to 1518). After Discovery, the lowest of the local and remote will be used.
PDU Rate
100 to 10000 ms between consecutive OAM PDUs.
Discovery Capability
Enables OAM enabled devices to exchange their OAM capabilities, configuration, and identity to link partners. Check on the boxes
to advertise selected capabilities during Discovery.
Link Events Notification Settings
Enable Event Notifications for Link Fault, Critical Event, and Dying Gasp.
802.3ah OAM Discovery
Discovery is the first phase of the 802.3ah protocol. During Discovery, local and remote units exchange Information OAM PDUs indicating
capabilities and configuration information (mode, PDU size, loopback support, etc.). After successful negotiation the OAM protocol is
enabled on the link. If no OAM PDU is received after 5 seconds, Discovery is restarted. The device can be configured in Active or
Passive mode combinations.
OAM Mode - Acceptable Active/Passive Combinations
Notice that each device can be placed in any mode as long as the remote and local device are not both in passive mode.
Discovery Capabilities:
Capabilities advertised during discovery process
Remote Loopback
Link Events: Supported, but no stateful
MIB Retrieval: Can be advertised but is not supported in current release
Unidirection
Remote Loopback:
The user can transmit a loopback command to place the remote unit into loopback mode. Every frame received is
transmitted back on the same port to ensure the quality of links during installation or troubleshooting and for fault isolation testing.
Link Events:
Event OAMPDU is transmitted when the link error exceeds the threshold. Events may be sent once or multiple times. In the
current software release, link events are only transmitted upon user request, not based on threshold crossing.
MIB Retrieval:
Retrieves information on network devices and interfaces.
Unidirection:
Checks for unidirectional transmission.
