Extended OAM functions including remote configurations and monitoring, with details as
below:

Obtain attributes of the remote device: the CO device can obtain attributes,
configurations, and statistics of the remote device through extended OAM.

Configure basic functions for the remote device: through extended OAM, the CO device
can configure some functions for the remote device, including host name, interface
enabling/disabling status, rate, duplex mode, bandwidth, and failover status.

Configure network management parameters for the remote device: the CO device can
configure network management parameters for remote SNMP-supportive devices, such
as IP address, gateway, management IP address, and read/write community, and then
implement overall network management through SNMP.

Support remote Trap: when an interface on a remote device is Up or Down, it sends an
extended OAM notification to the CO device which will then send Trap message of the
remote device to the NMS.

Reboot the remote device: the CO device can send a command to reboot the remote
device.

Support other remote management functions: as the remote functions increase, the CO
device can manage more remote functions through extended OAM protocols, such as
SFP and QinQ.
When the A10E/A28E works as the CO device, different remote devices may support
different extended OAM functions. Whether an extended OAM function is supported
depends on the remote device. For details, see the corresponding manuals.
For example, the remote device is the RC551E, which supports to be configured with the
following extended OAM functions:

Configure the IP address (including the default gateway and IP address of the out-of-
band interface).

Configure the name of the remote host.

Configure network management of the remote device.

Manage configuration files of the remote device.

Reboot the remote device.

Clear statistics of extended OAM links.

Show extended OAM capabilities of the remote device.

Show basic information about the remote device.

Show interface information about the remote device.

Show Trap function status of the remote device.

Show extended OAM link status.
9.5.2 Preparation for configuration
Scenario
Extended OAM is mainly used to establish connection between Central Office (CO) device
and remote device so as to achieve remote management.
