37 Configuring Ethernet
OAM
The rise in the number of Ethernet service instances has resulted in service providers requiring a powerful
and robust set of management tools to maintain Ethernet service networks. Service provider networks are
large and intricate, often consisting of different operators that work together to provide the customers with
end-to-end services. The challenge for the service providers is to provide a highly available, convergent
network to the customer base. Ethernet OAM (Operations, Administration, and Maintenance) provides the
detection, resiliency, and monitoring capability for end-to-end service guarantee in an Ethernet network.
In This Chapter
This chapter describes the Ethernet OAM feature, how to configure it and display Ethernet OAM
information through the Command Line Interface (CLI). For more details about the syntax of commands,
see the OmniSwitch AOS Release 8 CLI Reference Guide.
