10.3 Definitions
10.3.1 802.3ah 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 (e.g., 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.
