• Multiplexer State - Indicates the Multiplexer state (“Discard”, “Forward” or “Unknown”) of the remote
ports. If “Forward” is displayed, the remote partner is forwarding non-OAMPDUs to the lower sublayer.
If “Discard”, the remote partner is discarding non-OAMPDUs network frames. If “Unknown”, the
Multiplexer state of the remote partner is indeterminate.
• Parser Action - Indicates the Parser Action state (“Discard”, “Forward” or “Loopback”) of the remote
ports. If “Forward” is displayed, the remote partner is forwarding non-OAMPDUs network frames to
the higher sublayer. If “Loopback” is displayed, the remote partner is looping back non-OAMPDUs
network frames. If “Discard” is displayed, the remote partner is discarding non-OAMPDUs network
frames.
• Critical Event - Indicates the Critical Event state (“Yes” or “No”) of the remote partner. If “Yes” is
displayed, the local device has detected a Critical Event. If “No”, the local device has not detected a
critical event.
