OAM (Operation, Administration and Management) is a group of
management functions that provides system or network fault indication,
performance monitoring, security management, diagnostic functions,
configuration and user provisioning.
This screen allows you to configure the OAM application (i.e. the OAM
functions). It can also be used to inspect the current status of the selected
port.
The configuration options available in the setup area of the screen are
described below. The status information is described in a separate section.
The setup parameters are grouped according to protocol. Use the Protocol
drop-down menu to select the relevant protocol.
To change to a different protocol, the state of the current protocol must be set
to 'Off'.
802.3ah protocol - Applies to the connectivity of point-to-point
connections across one hop.
802.1ag protocol - Applies to the connectivity of bridges and paths that
pass through bridges. Handles both multipoint connections and point-to-
point connections.
Y.1731 protocol - An extension to the 802.1ag standard and relies upon
the 802.1ag protocol for transport. Applies to both multipoint and point-
to-point connections.
In addition, the 802.1ag and Y.1731 protocol screens contain a special
Discovery setup.
