terminate
Syntax [no] terminate
Context config>service>apipe>sap>atm>oam
Description This command specifies whether this SAP will act as an OAM termination point. ATM SAPs can be
configured to tunnel or terminate OAM cells.
When configured to not terminate (the default is no terminate), the SAP will pass OAM cells
through the VLL without inspecting them. The SAP will respond to OAM loopback requests that are
directed to the local node by transmitting a loopback reply. Other loopback requests are transparently
tunneled through the pseudowire. In this mode, it is possible to launch a loopback request towards the
directly-attached ATM equipment and see the results of the reply.
When configured to terminate, the SAP will respond to AIS by transmitting RDI and will signal the
change of operational status to the other endpoint (for example, through LDP status notifications).
The SAP will respond to OAM loopback requests by transmitting a loopback reply. In this mode, it is
possible to launch a loopback request towards the directly-attached ATM equipment and see the
results of the reply. This option is available only for ATM-SDU pseudowire connections, and it is not
supported for VT and port pseudowire connections.
Default no terminate
