Link Performance Event Monitoring
Link Performance Event Monitoring OAM monitors the receive side of a link for a set of pre-defined
errors and executes an action when a threshold is exceeded; it is enabled by default. Both peers on the link
must be have link performance event monitoring enabled for discovery to complete.
There is a high and low threshold for each pre-defined error; an event occurs when any threshold is
exceeded. FTOS periodically polls hardware registers for the current frame and symbol error count. If an
interface exceeds a threshold, a notification is sent to the peer and the interface is placed in error-disabled
state.
• Enable Error Monitoring on page 99
• Execute an Action upon Exceeding the High Threshold on page 102
