LABEL

DESCRIPTION

OAM configurations

The remote device uses this information to determine what functions are

supported.

Mode

This field displays the OAM mode. The device in active mode (typically the

service provider's device) controls the device in passive mode (typically the

subscriber's device).
Active: The Switch initiates OAM discovery; sends information PDUs; and

may send event notification PDUs, variable request/response PDUs, or

loopback control PDUs.
Passive: The Switch waits for the remote device to initiate OAM discovery;

sends information PDUs; may send event notification PDUs; and may

respond to variable request PDUs or loopback control PDUs.
The Switch might not support some types of PDUs, as indicated in the

fields below.

Unidirectional

This field indicates whether or not the Switch can send information PDUs to

transmit fault information when the receive path is non-operational.

Remote loopback

This field indicates whether or not the Switch can use loopback control

PDUs to put the remote device into loopback mode.

Link events

This field indicates whether or not the Switch can interpret link events, such

as link fault and dying gasp. Link events are sent in event notification PDUs

and indicate when the number of errors in a given interval (time, number of

frames, number of symbols, or number of errored frame seconds) exceeds

a specified threshold. Organizations may create organization-specific link

event TLVs as well.

Variable retrieval

This field indicates whether or not the Switch can respond to requests for

more information, such as requests for Ethernet counters and statistics,

about link events.

Max. OAMPDU size

This field displays the maximum size of PDU for receipt and delivery.

Operational status

Link status

This field indicates that the link is up or down.
