After the timeout timer of an Ethernet OAM connection expires, the local OAM entity ages out its
connection with the peer OAM entity, causing the OAM connection to disconnect. As a best practice
to keep the Ethernet OAM connections stable, set the connection timeout timer to be a minimum of
five times the handshake packet transmission interval.
To configure the Ethernet OAM connection detection timers globally:
Step Command Remarks
5. Enter system view.
System-view
N/A
6. Configure the Ethernet OAM
handshake packet
transmission interval.
oam global timer hello
interval The default is 1000 milliseconds.
7. Configure the Ethernet OAM
connection timeout timer.
oam global timer keepalive
interval
The default is 5000 milliseconds.
To configure the Ethernet OAM connection detection timers on a port:
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.
System-view
N/A
2. Enter Layer 2/Layer 3
Ethernet port view.
interface
interface-type
interface-number
N/A
3. Configure the Ethernet OAM
handshake packet
transmission interval.
oam timer hello
interval
By default, an interface uses the
value configured globally.
4. Configure the Ethernet OAM
connection timeout timer.
oam timer keepalive
interval
By default, an interface uses the
value configured globally.
Configuring link monitoring
After Ethernet OAM connections are established, the link monitoring periods and thresholds
configured in this section automatically take effect on all Ethernet ports.
Configuring errored symbol event detection
An errored symbol event occurs when the number of detected symbol errors in the detection window
(specified number of received symbols) exceeds the predefined threshold.
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.
To configure errored symbol event detection globally:
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.
system-view
N/A
2. Configure the errored symbol
event detection window.
oam global
errored-symbol-period window
window-value
By default, the errored symbol
event detection window is
100000000.
3. Configure the errored symbol
event triggering threshold.
oam global
errored-symbol-period
threshold
threshold-value
By default, the errored symbol
event triggering threshold is 1.
