10.0 Link Operation, Administration and Maintenance
Link Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) is defined in Section 57 of the IEEE
802.3-2005 standard. Its functions provide mechanisms for monitoring link operations at the data
link pager, such as remote fault indication and remote loopback control. Link OAM provides net-
work operators with the ability to monitor the health of the network and quickly determine the
location of any failing links or fault conditions. OAM provides data link layer mechanisms that
complement applications that may reside in higher layers, such as Connectivity Fault Manage-
ment (CFM) 802.1ag. OAM is supported via SNMP with the standard dot3Oam.my and the
Canoga Perkins proprietary cpDot3Oam.my MIB files. From the Main Menu, select Link OAM (9)
and press Enter. The 802.3AH OAM menu (Figure 10-1.) opens.
