OAM Configuration

Critical events include various failures, such as abnormal voltage fluctuations,
out-of-range temperature detected, fan failure, CRC error in flash memory, insufficient
memory, or other hardware faults.

Errored Frame – Controls reporting of errored frame link events.
An errored frame is a frame in which one or more bits are errored.

An errored frame link event occurs if the threshold is reached or exceeded within the specified
period.

If reporting is enabled and an errored frame link event occurs, the local OAM entity (this
switch) sends an Event Notification OAMPDU to the remote OAM entity. The Errored Frame
Event TLV includes the number of errored frames detected during the specified period.

Status – Enables reporting of errored frame link events. (Default: Enabled)

Window Size – The period of time in which to check the reporting threshold for errored
frame link events. (Range: 10-65535 in units of 10 milliseconds; Default: 10 units of 10
milliseconds, or the equivalent of 1 second)

Threshold Count – The threshold for errored frame link events.
(Range: 1-65535; Default: 1)

Interface
To enable OAM functionality on the selected port:

1. Click Administration, OAM, Interface.

2. Set the OAM administrative status and operational mode for the required ports. Specify

whether or not critical link events will be reported by the switch. Specify whether errored frame
link events will be reported, as well as the required window size and threshold.

3. Click Apply.
