in a limited respect if the remote OAM entity is operating in Passive mode.
Active devices should not respond to OAM remote loopback commands and
variable requests from a Passive peer.
Passive mode
DTE's configured in Passive mode do not initiate the Discovery process.
Passive DTE's react to the initiation of the Discovery process by the remote
DTE. This eliminates the possibility of passive to passive links. Passive DTE's
shall not send Variable Request or Loopback Control OAMPDUs.
Loopback Support Controls whether the loopback support is enabled for the switch port. Link OAM
remote loopback can be used for fault localization and link performance testing.
Enabling the loopback support will allow the DTE to execute the remote loopback
command that helps in the fault detection.
Link Monitor Support Controls whether the Link Monitor support is enabled for the switch port. On enabling
the Link Monitor support, the DTE supports event notification that permits the
inclusion of diagnostic information.
MIB Retrieval Support Controls whether the MIB Retrieval Support is enabled for the switch port. On
enabling the MIB retrieval support, the DTE supports polling of various Link OAM
based MIB variables' contents.
Loopback Operation If the Loopback support is enabled, enabling this field will start a loopback operation
for the port.
