Quick Steps for Configuring Ethernet OAM
The following steps provide a quick tutorial on how to configure Ethernet OAM. Each step describes a
specific operation and provides the CLI command syntax for performing that operation.
1 Create an Ethernet domain using the ethoam domain command. For example:
-> ethoam domain esd.alcatel-lucent.com format dnsName level 1
2 Create an Ethernet OAM Maintenance Association using the ethoam association command.
For example:
-> ethoam association alcatel-sales format string domain esd.alcatel-lucent.com
vlan 10
3 Create an Ethernet OAM Maintenance End Point using the ethoam endpoint admin-state command.
For example:
-> ethoam endpoint 100 domain esd.alcatel-lucent.com association alcatel-sales
direction up port 1/10
4 Administratively enable the Ethernet OAM Maintenance End Point using the ethoam endpoint
admin-state command. For example:
-> ethoam endpoint 100 domain esd.alcatel-lucent.com association alcatel-sales
admin-state enable
5 Enable Continuity Check Messages for the Ethernet OAM Maintenance End Point using the ethoam
endpoint rfp command. For example:
-> ethoam endpoint 100 domain esd.alcatel-lucent.com association alcatel-sales
ccm enable
6 Configure the Message Handling Function (MHF) value of an Ethernet OAM Maintenance Domain
using the ethoam domain mhf command. For example:
-> ethoam domain esd.alcatel-lucent.com mhf explicit
7 Configure the endpoint list for the Ethernet OAM Maintenance Association using the ethoam associa-
tion endpoint-list command. For example:
-> ethoam association alcatel-sales domain esd.alcatel-lucent.com endpoint-list
100
8 Enable the maintenance entity to initiate transmitting loopback messages to obtain loopback replies
using the ethoam loopback command. For example:
-> ethoam loopback target-endpoint 15 source-endpoint 100 domain esd.alcatel-
lucent.com association alcatel-sales
