Configuring IEEE 802.3ah Ethernet OAM
To enable or disable the OAM remote loopback test on the specified ports, perform this task in privileged
mode:
This example shows how to enable the OAM remote loopback test on the specified port:
Console> (enable)
set port ethernet-oam 3/1 remote-loopback enable
Successfully initiated OAM remote-loopback on port(s) 1/1.
Port status set to inactive
Console> (enable)
Specifying the Number of Packets and the Packet Size for the Ethernet OAM Remote Loopback Test
and Running the Test
You can use the commands in this section to specify the number of packets and the packet size for the
OAM remote loopback test and run the test on the specified ports. This command can be used only on
ports that have the OAM remote loopback test enabled. After entering this command, the remote
loopback test is run and the test result summary is displayed after the test finishes. By default, 10,000
64-byte packets are sent. The number of packets allowed is 1 to 99999999 packets. The allowable packet
size is from 64 to 1518 bytes.
Note
The commands in this section are not saved in your configuration file or NVRAM.
