Configuring basic Ethernet OAM functions
To set up an Ethernet OAM connection between two Ethernet OAM entities, you must set at least one
entity to operate in active mode. An Ethernet OAM entity can initiate OAM connection only in active
mode.
To change the Ethernet OAM mode on an Ethernet OAM-enabled port, first disable Ethernet OAM on the
port.
To configure basic Ethernet OAM functions:

Configuring the Ethernet OAM connection
detection timers
After an Ethernet OAM connection is established, the Ethernet OAM entities exchange Information
OAMPDUs at the handshake packet transmission interval to detect the availability of the Ethernet OAM
