config atm pvc f5-oam command
This CLI command enables/disables and configures the F5-OAM Loopback 
feature for a virtual circuit (VC). When this command is used for disabling the 
F5-OAM Loopback on a VC, the configuration parameters are ignored. The 
command uses the syntax: 
config atm <slot/port> pvc f5-oam <vpi.vci> <enable|disable> 
[send <value>] [retry <value>] [up <value>] [down <value>] 
[trap <enable|disable>]
When this command is used for enabling the F5-OAM Loopback on a VC, the 
other parameters configure the F5-OAM Loopback. When the F5-OAM Loopback 
on a VC is already enabled, an enable command towards this VC may change its 
F5-OAM Loopback configuration but it does not alter its F5-OAM statistics. 
When the F5-OAM Loopback on a VC is disabled, an enable command towards 
this VC enables and configures its F5-OAM Loopback, and clears its F5-OAM 
Loopback statistics.
Table 39 describes the F5-OAM Loopback parameters.
