12 Configuring EFM OAM
This chapter contains a complete sample EFM OAM configuration. To see details on the commands used
in this example, or to see the outputs of the validation commands, refer to the OAM Command Reference.
To avoid repetition, some Common commands, like configure terminal, have not been listed under the
commands used sections.
12.1 Overview of EFM OAM configuration
The main functions of Ethernet to the First Mile - Operation Administration and Maintenance (EFM-OAM)
are link performance monitoring, fault detection, fault signaling and loopback signaling. OAM information is
conveyed in Slow Protocol frames called OAM Protocol Data Units (OAMPDUs). OAMPDUs contain the
appropriate control and status information used to monitor, test and troubleshoot OAM-enabled links.

DUT# configure terminal
Enter the Configure mode.
DUT(config)#interface eth-0-9
Specify the interface (eth-0-9)to be
configured and enter the Interface
mode
DUT(config-if)# ethernet oam enable
Enable Ethernet OAM on eth-0-9
DUT(config-if)# ethernet oam mode active
Configure Ethernet OAM mode as
active.
(The default mode is passive.)
DUT(config-if)# ethernet oam timeout 10
Configure the link-timer as 10. Upon
expiry of the link timer, the discovery
process will restart.
DUT(config-if)# ethernet oam max-rate 1
Specify the maximum number of
OAMPDUS to be sent per .The range
is <1-10>
DUT(config-if)# end
Exit the Interface mode.
Bridge2
DUT# configure terminal
Enter the Configure mode.
