Configuring Ethernet OAM

Ethernet Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) is a protocol for installing, monitoring, and troubleshooting ethernet networks, to increase management capability within the context of the overall Ethernet infrastructure.

The Cisco ASR 901 router supports:

•IEEE 802.3ah Ethernet OAM discovery, link monitoring, remote fault detection, and remote loopback.

•IEEE 802.1ag Connectivity Fault Management (CFM)

•Ethernet Local Management Interface (E-LMI)

•IP Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for CFM

•ITU-T Y.1731 fault management

This chapter provides information about configuring the Ethernet OAM, CFM and E-LMI and also enabling Ethernet Loopback.

For complete command and configuration information for Ethernet OAM see the Cisco IOS Carrier Ethernet Configuration Guide at this URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios-xml/ios/cether/configuration/12-2sr/ce-12-2sr-book.html

Note The Cisco ASR 901 router does not necessarily support all of the commands listed in the Cisco IOS Carrier Ethernet documentation.

Note Cisco ASR 901 does not support CFM pre-draft version.
