OAM-based Features
The Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) is a standard
that defines a set of tools and utilities for remotely monitoring, testing, and
troubleshooting a network. It provides network operators the ability to
monitor the condition of the network and to determine the location of the
failing links or fault conditions. For background information on OAM, refer
to the IEEE 802.3ah standard.
The AT-CM2, AT-CM3 and AT-CM70S Line Cards support five OAM-
based features on their fiber optic ports. Some of the features are part of
the IEEE 802.3ah standard while others are specific to this product. The
sections in this chapter describe the features and the appropriate line card
settings. The sections are:
