Verifying Status of the Remote OAM Client

To verify the status of a remote OAM client, use the show ethernet oam summary and show ethernet oam status commands.

To verify the remote client mode and capabilities for the OAM session, use the show ethernet oam summary command and observe the values in the Mode and Capability fields. The following example shows that the local client (local interface Gi0/8) is connected to the remote client

Understanding E-LMI

Ethernet Local Management Interface (E-LMI) is a protocol between the customer-edge (CE) device and the provider-edge (PE) device. It runs only on the PE-to-CE UNI link and notifies the CE device of connectivity status and configuration parameters of Ethernet services available on the CE port. E-LMI interoperates with an OAM protocol, such as CFM, that runs within the provider network to collect OAM status. CFM runs at the provider maintenance level (UPE to UPE with inward-facing MEPs at the UNI).
