config ethernet_oam ports (mode)
Purpose
Used to configure Ethernet OAM mode for ports.
Syntax
config ethernet_oam ports [ <portlist> | all ] mode [ active | passive ]
Description
The command is used to configure Ethernet OAM for ports to operate in active or passive
mode.
Port configured in active mode:
(1) Initiate the exchange of Information OAMPDUs as defined by the discovery state diagram.
(2) Active port is permitted to send any OAMPDU while connected to a remote OAM peer
entity in active mode.
(3) Active port operates in a limited respect if the remote OAM entity is operating in passive
mode.
(4) Active port should not respond to OAM remote loopback commands and variable requests
from a passive peer.
Port configured in passive mode:
(1) Do not initiate the discovery process
(2) React to the initiation of the Discovery process by the remote. This eliminates the
possibility of passive-to-passive links.
(3) Shall not send Variable request or loopback Control OAMPDUs” for describe the active
and passive mode.
Note: When a port is OAM-enabled, changing the OAM mode will cause the
OAM discovery to be re-started
Parameters
<portlist> - Specifies a range of ports to be configured. Use all to specify all ports.
mode - Specify to operate in either active mode or passive mode. The default mode is
active.
Restrictions
Only Administrator-level users can issue this command.
