The following parameters can be configured:
Parameter Description
From Port /To Port
Specify a range of ports to be configured.
Link Event Configures the Ethernet OAM critical link event. Specify Link Monitor or Critical Link Event.
Link Monitor
The option is used to configure ports Ethernet OAM link monitoring error symbols, error
frames, error frame period, and error frame seconds. Link monitoring function provides a
mechanism to detect and indicate link faults under a variety of conditions. OAM monitors the
statistics on the number of frame errors as well as the number of coding symbol errors. If the
number of error symbols or error frames is equal to or greater than the specified threshold
within the period specified by the Window option, and the event notification state (Notify) is
enabled, it generates an event to notify the remote OAM peer.
Use the Link Monitor menu to define the type of link monitor, and set the threshold, window
and notifications status.
Critical Link Event
The option is used to configure the Notify capability if a port detects an Ethernet OAM critical
link event. The Critical Event option refers to an unspecified criticial event. The Dying Gasp
option specifies detection of an unrecoverable event has occurred, such as a power failure of
the remote device.
Threshold
(0-4294967295)
Specify the number of error frame seconds in the period that is required to be equal to or
greater than in order for the event to be generated. The default value is 1 error frame second.
Window
(1000-60000)
Specify the period of error frame summary events. The range is 1000 to 60000 ms. The
default value is 1000 ms.
Notify Specify to Enable or Disable the event notification. The default state is Enabled.
