IEEE 802.3ah EFM-OAM

Specifying the PDU rate
To set the number of PDUs to be transmitted per second, use the pdu-rate command. The default
value is 1.
Brocade(config-link-oam) #pdu-rate 10
Syntax: [no] pdu-rate value
The value parameter specifies the number of PDUs in the range of 1-10.
The no form of the command restores the default value of 1.
Enabling and disabling the EFM-OAM state on the specified interface
The ethernet slot/port command in Interface Configuration mode, enables and disables EFM-OAM
on the specified interface and sets its mode to active or passive.
When both peers are in passive mode (abnormal configuration), the information from “Remote
Status” is not updated anymore and it may be inaccurate. By default, port state is disabled.
Brocade(config-link_oam)# ethernet 2/1 active
Syntax: [no] ethernet slot/port {active | passive | remote-failure}
When active mode is specified, the device can send OAMPDU packets over this port in order to
initiate an EFM-OAM discovery process. For the discovery process to be initiated the EFM-OAM
protocol must have been enabled.
When passive mode is specified, the device cannot use this port to send OAMPDU packets, but can
respond if it receives OAMPDUs from remote.
When remote-failure mode is specified, the device will be set for the remote-failure action. The no
form of the command sets the 802.3ah EFM-OAM to the disabled state.
The no form of the command sets the 802.3ah EFM-OAM to the disabled state.
Enabling an interface to accept remote loopback
NOTE
OAM remote loopback is supported only on the NetIron CES and NetIron CER platform and not
supported on NetIron XMR and NetIron MLX platforms.
The ethernet slot/port allow-loopback command, in Interface Configuration mode, is used to
enable the interface to respond to a loopback request from the remote. This is used for loopback
traffic analysis.
Brocade(config-link-oam) #ethernet 2/1 allow-loopback
Syntax: [no]ethernet slot/port allow-loopback
The no form of the command doesn’t allow the interface to respond to the loopback request from
the remote.
