Configuring errored frame seconds event detection
An errored frame seconds event occurs when the number of error frame seconds detected on a port
during a detection interval exceeds the error threshold.
Follow these steps to configure errored frame seconds event detection:
To do…
Use the command…
Remarks
Enter system view

—
Configure the errored frame

Optional
1 by default
CAUTION:
Make sure the errored frame seconds triggering threshold is less than the errored frame seconds
detection interval. Otherwise, no errored frame seconds event can be generated.
Configuring OAM remote loopback
Enabling Ethernet OAM remote loopback
When you enable Ethernet OAM remote loopback on a port, the port sends Loopback Control
OAMPDUs to a remote port, and the remote port enters the loopback state. The port then sends test
frames to the remote port. By observing how many of these test frames return, you can calculate the
packet loss ratio on the link, to evaluate the link performance.
Follow these steps to enable Ethernet OAM remote loopback in interface view:
To do…

NOTE:
Use this function with caution because enabling Ethernet OAM remote loopback impacts other services.
