4.8.6 OAM
4.8.6.1 Interface
The Device Management > OAM > Interface page is used 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.
Port Port identifier. (Range: 1-28)
Admin Status Enables or disables OAM functions. (Default: Disabled)
Operation State Shows the operational state between the local and remote OAM devices. This value is always “disabled” if
OAM is disabled on the local interface. OAM Operation State
Mode Sets the OAM operation mode. (Default: Active)
Active All OAM functions are enabled.
Passive All OAM functions are enabled, except for OAM discovery, sending variable request OAMPDUs, and
sending loopback control OAMPDUs.
Critical Link Event Controls reporting of critical link events to its OAM peer.
Dying Gasp If an unrecoverable condition occurs, the local OAM entity (i.e., this switch) indicates this by
immediately sending a trap message. (Default: Enabled) Dying gasp events are caused by an unrecoverable failure,
such as a power failure or device reset.
Critical Event If a critical event occurs, the local OAM entity indicates this to its peer by setting the appropriate
flag in the next OAMPDU to be sent and stores this information in its OAM event log. (Default: Enabled) Critical
events include various failures, such as abnormal voltage fluctuations, out-of-range temperature detected, fan
failure, CRC error in flash memory, insufficient memory, or other hardware faults.
Errored Frame Controls reporting of errored frame link events. An errored frame is a frame in which one or more bits are
errored. An errored frame link event occurs if the threshold is reached or exceeded within the specified period. If reporting is
enabled and an errored frame link event occurs, the local OAM entity (this switch) sends an Event Notification OAMPDU to the
remote OAM entity. The Errored Frame Event TLV includes the number of errored frames detected during the specified period.
Status Enables reporting of errored frame link events. (Default: Enabled)
Window Size The period of time in which to check the reporting threshold for errored frame link events. (Range:
10-65535 in units of 10 milliseconds; Default: 10 units of 10 milliseconds, or the equivalent of 1 second)
Threshold Count The threshold for errored frame link events. (Range: 1-65535; Default: 1)
