802.3ah Ethernet OAM Settings

802.3ah Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) Operations Administration and Maintenance (OAM) is a group of network management functions that provide network fault indication, performance information, and diagno- sis using special-purpose Ethernet OAM frames. These are exchanged between your Gateway and service provider Access Node (AN) devices for network fault management, performance analysis and fault isolation.

All VDSL and Ethernet WAN Motorola Netopia Gateways support Ethernet OAM options.

More Ethernet Packet-Transfer-Mode (PTM) enabled xDSL Motorola Netopia Gateways will support 802.3ah Ethernet OAM options in future releases.

802.3ah Ethernet OAM exchanges periodic Ethernet OAM heartbeat frames between the endpoints of the physical link being monitored, and thus discovers and keeps-alive the Link connectivity and reports faults if the link goes down. Supported OAM request and response types are: remote loopback enable, remote loop- back disable, variable request, variable response.
