To configure 802.3ah EFM OAM remote loopbacks on Wavence ports

Supported card ports

You can configure an 802.3ah EFM OAM remote loopback on an Ethernet or SFP port on Core-E, CorEvo, EASv1, and EASv2 cards, or an MSS-1 or MSS-O unit.

Note: To configure an 802.3ah EFM OAM remote loopback on a port, the administrative state of a port must be up.

Steps
 
1 

In the navigation tree Equipment view, right-click on a Wavence Ethernet port and choose Properties. The Physical Port (Edit) form opens.

2 

Click on the Ethernet tab, then on the EFM OAM tab.

3 

Configure the Mode parameter as Active.

4 

Configure the Administrative State parameter as Enabled. The value of the Operational Status parameter changes to Operational.

Note: You must not modify the Mode parameter when the Administrative State parameter is configured as Disabled, even though the Mode parameter is configurable.

The Operational Status parameter has intermediate values, before changing to Operational. The Operational Status can be Operational only when the remote DTE has the same settings as the local DTE for the 802.3ah EFM OAM remote loopback.

5 

Perform a to enable a remote loopback or b to disable a remote loopback:

  1. Select the Set Remote Loopback check box to enable a remote loopback. The value of the Loopback Status parameter changes to Remote Loopback after displaying some intermediate values.

    Note: Ensure that the value for the Operational Status parameter is Operational before you select the Set Remote Loopback check box.

    When remote loopback is enabled on a port, you cannot modify port segregation of the corresponding card.

  2. Deselect the Set Remote Loopback check box to disable the remote loopback.

    Note: You can disable remote loopback on a port when the value of the Loopback Status parameter is one of the following:

    • Remote Loopback

    • Initiating Loopback

    • Terminating Loopback

6 

Save your changes and close the form.
