Chapter 17 Configuring Ethernet OAM, CFM, and E-LMI
Configuring Ethernet OAM
Enter the no ethernet oam interface configuration command to disable Ethernet OAM on the interface.
EXAMPLE
The following example shows how to activate an Ethernet OAM interface that was previously configured
to be in passive mode:
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet 0/1
Switch(config-if)# ethernet oam mode active
The following example shows how to set the maximum transmission rate of OAM PDUs on interface
GigabitEthernet 0/1 to 5 transmissions per second:
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet 0/1
Switch(config-if)# ethernet oam max-rate 5
The following example shows how to set the timeout period to 25 seconds on interface GigabitEthernet
0/1:
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet 0/1
Switch(config-if)# ethernet oam timeout 25
Step 4
ethernet oam [max-rate oampdus | min-rate
seconds | mode {active | passive} | timeout
seconds]
You can configure these optional OAM parameters:
• (Optional) Enter max-rate oampdus to
configure the maximum number of OAM PDUs
sent per second. The range is from 1 to 10.
• (Optional) Enter min-rate seconds to configure
the minimum transmission rate in seconds when
one OAM PDU is sent per second. The range is
from 1 to 10.
• (Optional) Enter mode active to set OAM client
mode to active.
• (Optional) Enter mode passive to set OAM
client mode to passive.
Note When Ethernet OAM mode is enabled on
two interfaces passing traffic, at least one
must be in the active mode.
• (Optional) Enter timeout seconds to set a time
for OAM client timeout. The range is from 2 to
30.
Step 5
end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 6
show ethernet oam status [interface
interface-id]
Verify the configuration.
Step 7
copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration
file.
