802.3ah OAM Profiles
Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) refers to the tools and utilities to install, monitor, and troubleshoot a network. OAM tools report layer-2 network behavior, which can help network administrators monitor and troubleshoot a network without sending technicians into the field to diagnose problems on location. OAM provides mechanisms to monitor link operations and health and to improve fault isolation.
The MAS OAM feature supports the following Link Fault Management options:
- Discovery–An OAM-enabled local interface discovers a remote interface enabled with OAM and notifies each other of their own capabilities. After discovery, both sides send OAM PDUs periodically to monitor the link.
- Remote fault detection–Detection and handling of faulty links, such as those not receiving an OAM PDU from the other peer within the configured time-out or an OAM PDU with a “link-fault” flag.
- Remote loopback–Link segment testing is controlled remotely using test frames. Usually remote loopback is used during installation or for troubleshooting.
- To configure and OAM profile, navigate to the Monitoring & Diagnostics > OAM page and click Add New OAM Profile.
- Specify values for this profile.
- Select Add to save the new profile. Additional OAM profiles can then be added and edited from this page.
