Configuring Ethernet OAM
This section describes how to use Alcatel-Lucent’s Command Line Interface (CLI) commands to config-
ure Ethernet OAM on a switch.
Creating and Deleting a Maintenance Domain
To create a Maintenance Domain (MD), use the ethoam domain command, by entering ethoam domain,
followed by the domain name, the keyword format, the domain name format type, the keyword level, and
the level of the domain. For example:
-> ethoam domain esd.alcatel-lucent.com format dnsName level 5
Here, the MD esd.alcatel.com is created.
Note that the level must be 0-2 at operator level, 3-5 at provider level, and 6-7 at customer level when
creating the level of domain.
To remove an MD, use the no form of this command. For example:
-> no ethoam domain esd.alcatel-lucent.com
Note that with this implementation of Ethernet OAM, it is only possible to delete an MD when there is no
Maintenance Association, End Point, or Intermediate Point associated with the MD.
Modifying a Maintenance Domain
To modify the MHF value of an MD, use the ethoam domain mhf command, as shown:
-> ethoam domain esd.alcatel-lucent.com mhf explicit
To modify the default Ethernet OAM Maintenance Domain, use the ethoam default-domain command,
as shown:
-> ethoam default-domain vlan 100 level 4 mhf none
Note. The no form of this command restores the default Ethernet OAM Maintenance Domain value.
