Chapter 39 Configuring Ethernet OAM, CFM, and E-LMI
Setting Up and Configuring Ethernet OAM
Use the no ethernet oam remote-loopback {supported | timeout} interface configuration command to
disable remote loopback support or remove the timeout setting.
Configuring Ethernet OAM Link Monitoring
You can configure high and low thresholds for link-monitoring features. If no high threshold is
configured, the default is none —no high threshold is set. If you do not set a low threshold, it defaults
to a value lower than the high threshold.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure Ethernet OAM link monitoring on
an interface:
Step 3 ethernet oam remote-loopback {supported |
timeout seconds} Enable Ethernet remote loopback on the interface or set a
loopback timeout period.
• Enter supported to enable remote loopback.
• Enter timeout seconds to set a remote loopback
timeout period. The range is from 1 to 10 seconds.
Step 4 end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5 ethernet oam remote-loopback {start | stop}
{interface interface-id} Turn on or turn off Ethernet OAM remote loopback on an
interface.
Step 6 show ethernet oam status [interface interface-id]Verify the configuration.
Step 7 copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.

Command Purpose
Step 1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2 interface interface-id Define an interface, and enter interface configuration
mode.
Step 3 ethernet oam link-monitor supported Enable the interface to support link monitoring. This is the
default.
You need to enter this command only if it has been disabled
by previously entering the no ethernet oam link-monitor
supported command.
