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:
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.

N/A
2. Enter Layer 2/Layer 3
Ethernet port view.
interface
interface-type

3. Set the Ethernet OAM mode.

The default is active Ethernet
OAM mode.
4. Enable Ethernet OAM.
oam enable
Ethernet OAM is disabled by
default.
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 connection. If an Ethernet OAM entity receives no Information OAMPDU within the Ethernet
OAM connection timeout time, the Ethernet OAM connection is considered disconnected.
By adjusting the handshake packet transmission interval and the connection timeout timer, you can
change the detection time resolution for Ethernet OAM connections.
You can configure this command in system view or port view. The configuration in system view takes
effect on all ports, and the configuration in port view takes effect on the specified port. For a port, the
configuration in port view takes precedence.
