OAM Client Settings
Table 9 lists the parameter settings for the OAM clients for the OAM-based
features on the AT-CM Line Cards. The instructions on how to configure
the clients can be found in “Configuring the AT-CM2, AT-CM3, and
AT-CM70S Line Cards for the OAM-based Features” on page 90 and
“Configuring the OAM Client” on page 254.

OAM Loopback Support
This parameter controls whether or
not the OAM client on a line card will
participate in OAM loopback tests by
returning test packets received on port
A from another OAM client. This
parameter only applies to OAM clients
that return the test packets and has no
affect on OAM clients that generate
the test packets.
This parameter can be set
to Yes or No on the local
AT-CM Line Cards
because these line cards
generate the test packets. The possible settings for
this parameter on remote
line cards are:
ˆ Yes - The remote line
cards can participate in
loopback tests by
returning test packets.
ˆ No - The remote line
cards cannot
participate in loopback
tests
OAM Variable Requests Support
This parameter controls whether or
not the OAM client on a line card will
respond to variable retrieval requests
from other OAM clients. A variable
retrieval request is a query of an OAM
client by another OAM client for the
current value of a MIB object. This
parameter applies only to OAM clients
that are queried, and not to OAM
clients that send the variable requests.
This parameter can be set
to Yes or No on the local
AT-CM Line Cards
because these line cards
generate the variable
requests. The possible settings on
remote OAM-compatible
devices are
ˆ Yes - The OAM client
responds to variable
retrieval requests. This
is the default setting.
ˆ No - The OAM client
does not respond to
variable retrieval
requests.
