9.0 Operation, Administration and Maintenance
The Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) is defined in Section 57 of the IEEE 802.3-2005
standard. Its functions provide mechanisms for monitoring link operations at the data link pager, such as
remote fault indication and remote loopback control. OAM provides network operators with the ability to
monitor the health of the network and quickly determine the location of any failing links or fault conditions.
OAM provides data link layer mechanisms that complement applications that may reside in higher layers,
such as Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) 802.1ag. OAM is supported via SNMP with the standard
dot3Oam.my and the Canoga Perkins proprietary cpDot3Oam.my MIB files. From the Main Menu, select
802.3AH OAM (9) and press Enter. The 802.3AH OAM menu (Figure 9-1) opens.
