Displaying the Status
of Remote Interfaces
Use the Administration > OAM > Remote Interface page to display information
about attached OAM-enabled devices.
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
◆ Port – Port identifier. (Range: 1-28/52)
◆ MAC Address – MAC address of the OAM peer.
◆ OUI – Organizational Unit Identifier of the OAM peer.
◆ Remote Loopback – Shows if remote loopback is supported by the OAM peer.
◆ Unidirectional Function – Shows if this function is supported by the OAM
peer.
If supported, this indicates that the OAM entity supports the transmission of
OAMPDUs on links that are operating in unidirectional mode (where traffic
flows in one direction only). Some newer physical layer devices support the
optional ability to encode and transmit data while one direction of the link is
non-operational. This function allows OAM remote fault indication during fault
conditions. This switch does not support the unidirectional function, but can
parse error messages sent from a peer with unidirectional capability.
◆ Link Monitor – Shows if the OAM entity can send and receive Event
Notification OAMPDUs.
◆ MIB Variable Retrieval – Shows if the OAM entity can send and receive
Variable Request and Response OAMPDUs.
