EthernetOAM Link Fault Management

LinkFault Management (LFM) can be used for physicallink-level fault detection and
management.The IEEE 802.3ah LFM works across a point-to-point Ethernet link either
directlyconnected or through repeaters.
LFMprovides the following functions:
Failuredetection on physical links in both directions,as well as unidirectional failures.
Abilityto put a port in link-loopback mode remotely for diagnostics.
Reportand receive link error events such asframing or symbol errors.
LFMruns at the physicalor aggregated interfacelevel. When configuredon an aggregated
interface,LFM is run individually on each member link. LFM is a link-layerprotocol and
doesnot need a Layer3 (IPv4 or IPv6) address to operate. This allowsfor LFM to function
oncircuit cross-connect/transport cross-connect(CCC/TCC) encapsulatedinterfaces.
