Quick Steps for Configuring Ethernet OAM
The following steps provide a quick tutorial on how to configure Ethernet OAM. Each step describes a
specific operation and provides the CLI command syntax for performing that operation.
1 Create an Ethernet domain using the ethoam domain command. For example:
-> ethoam domain esd.alcatel-lucent.com format dnsName
2 Create an Ethernet OAM Maintenance Association using the ethoam association command.
For example:
-> ethoam association alcatel-sales format string domain esd.alcatel-lucent.com
level level-4 vlan 10
3 Create an Ethernet OAM Maintenance End Point using the ethoam endpoint command. For example:
-> ethoam end-point 100 domain esd.alcatel-lucent.com association alcatel-sales
direction up
4 Configure the Message Handling Function (MHF) value of an Ethernet OAM Maintenance Domain
using the ethoam domain mhf command. For example:
-> ethoam domain esd.alcatel-lucent.com mhf explicit
5 Enable the maintenance entity to initiate transmitting loopback messages to obtain loopback replies
using the ethoam loopback command. For example:
-> ethoam loopback target-endpoint 15 source-endpoint 4 domain esd.alcatel-
lucent.com association alcatel-sales
