Configuring IEEE 802.3ah Ethernet OAM
Specifying the Low-Threshold Error Count and the Associated Action for Ethernet OAM Link
Monitoring
You can use the commands in this section to specify the OAM link monitoring low-threshold error count
and the associated action on the specified ports. The default low-threshold error count is one error. The
default action is warning.
The low-threshold error count also serves as the monitoring threshold for OAM link monitoring. Once
the specified low-threshold error count is met or exceeded, an OAM link event TLV is generated and sent
as described in the IEEE 802.3ah document.
To specify the OAM link monitoring low-threshold error count and the associated action on the specified
ports, perform this task in privileged mode:
This example shows how to specify the OAM link monitoring low-threshold error count and the
associated action on the specified port:
Console> (enable) set port ethernet-oam 3/1 link-monitor frame low-threshold 2 action none
Successfully updated OAM frame low threshold on port(s) 3/1.
Console> (enable)
Specifying the High-Threshold Error Count and the Associated Action for Ethernet OAM Link
Monitoring
You can use the commands in this section to specify the OAM link monitoring high-threshold error count
and the associated action on the specified ports. The default high-threshold error count is 65535 errors.
The default action is warning.
To specify the OAM link monitoring high-threshold error count and the associated action on the
specified ports, perform this task in privileged mode:
This example shows how to specify the OAM link monitoring high-threshold error count and the
associated action on the specified port:
Console> (enable) set port ethernet-oam 3/1 link-monitor frame high-threshold 100 action
none
Successfully updated OAM frame-period high threshold on port(s) 3/1.
Console> (enable)
Task Command
Specify the OAM link monitoring low-threshold
error count and the associated action on the
specified ports.
set port ethernet-oam mod/port link-monitor
{symbol-period | frame | frame-period}
low-threshold count [action {none | warning}]
Task Command
Specify the OAM link monitoring high-threshold
error count and the associated action on the
specified ports.
set port ethernet-oam mod/port link-monitor
{symbol-period | frame | frame-period}
high-threshold count [action {errordisable |
none | warning}]
