Quick Steps for Configuring LINK OAM
The following steps provide a quick tutorial on how to configure LINK OAM. Each step describes a
specific operation and provides the CLI command syntax for performing that operation.
1 Enable LINK OAM globally on the switch by using the efm-oam command. For example:
-> efm-oam enable
2 Enable LINK OAM protocol for a specific port using the efm-oam port status command. For example
-> efm-oam port 1/1 status enable
3 Configure the LINK AOM port to active mode by using the efm-oam port mode command.
For example:
-> efm-oam port 1/1 mode active
Note. The above step is optional. By default, LINK OAM mode is active on all ports.
4 Configure the timeout interval (keep-alive)for the dynamically learned neighboring devices on the port
by using the efm-oam port keepalive-interval command. For example:
-> efm-oam port 1/1 keepalive-interval 10
5 Configure the time interval by which the information OAMPDUs should be transmitted out of an LINK
OAM enabled port by using the efm-oam port hello-interval command. For example:
-> efm-oam port 1/1 hello-interval 5
6 Activate remote loop back processing on the port by using the efm-oam port remote-loopback
command. For example:
-> efm-oam port 1/1 remote-loopback process
7 Activate propagation of critical events and dying gasp events on the port by using the efm-oam port
propagate-events command. For example:
-> efm-oam port 1/1 propagate-events critical-event enable
-> efm-oam port 1/1 propagate-events dying-gasp enable
Note. The above step is optional. By default, propagation of critical events and dying gasp is enabled on
the port.
8 Configure the threshold, window frame values and notify status for errored frame period events on the
port by using the efm-oam errored-frame-period command. For example:
-> efm-oam port 1/1 errored-frame-period window 3000000 threshold 1 notify
enable
9 Configure the threshold, window, and notify status for errored frame events on the port by using the
efm-oam errored-frame command. For example:
-> efm-oam port 1/1 errored-frame window 32 threshold 10 notify enable
