OAM Configuration
The switch provides OAM (Operation, Administration, and Maintenance) remote
management tools required to monitor and maintain the links to subscriber CPEs
(Customer Premise Equipment). This section describes functions including
enabling OAM for selected ports, loopback testing, and displaying remote device
information.
Enabling OAM on
Local Ports
Use the Administration > OAM > Interface page to enable OAM functionality on the
selected port. Not all CPEs support operation and maintenance functions, so OAM
is therefore disabled by default. If a CPE supports OAM, this functionality must first
be enabled on the connected port to gain access to the configuration functions
provided under the OAM menu.
Parameters

Port

Admin Status
– Enables or disables OAM functions. (Default: Disabled)
Operation State

OAM devices. This value is alwaysdisabled” if OAM is disabled on the local
interface.
