Features
managed from the switch and because some problems compromise communication between the switch
and the external network management device. Network availability is improved if automatic recovery
actions are performed without rebooting the switch.

Ethernet OAM, CFM, and E-LMI
Ethernet Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) is a protocol for installing, monitoring,
and troubleshooting Ethernet networks to increase management capability within the context of the
overall Ethernet infrastructure. The switch supports IEEE 802.1ag Connectivity Fault Management
(CFM), Ethernet Local Management Interface (E-LMI), and IEEE 802.3ah Ethernet OAM discovery,
link monitoring, remote fault detection, and remote loopback. It also supports IP Service Level
Agreements (SLAs) for CFM, and ITU-T Y.1731 fault management. Ethernet OAM manager controls
the interworking between any two of the protocols (CFM, E-LMI, and OAM).

Online Diagnostics
With online diagnostics, you can test and verify the hardware functionality of the switch while the switch
is connected to a live network. The online diagnostics contain packet switching tests that monitor
different hardware components and verify the data path and the control signals.
The online diagnostics detect problems in these areas:
• Hardware components
• Interfaces (Ethernet ports and so forth)
• Solder joints
Online diagnostics are categorized as on-demand, scheduled, or health-monitoring diagnostics.
• On-demand diagnostics run from the CLI.
• Scheduled diagnostics run at user-designated intervals or at specified times when the switch is
connected to a live network.
• Health monitoring runs in the background.
