All command modes.
This command sets the operating mode for the OAM client on the specified port. Clients configured for active mode may initiate contact with remote peers. Once the discovery process has completed with the remote peer, active clients are allowed to send remote loopback control OAMPDUs to that peer. OAM clients configured for passive mode may not initiate any contact with a remote peer. Passive OAM clients are only allowed to respond to requests received from a remote peer. In either operational mode, the client will silently discard OAM PDUs received on ports that are not configured for OAM operations.
The default value is active.
This example shows how to set the port ge.1.3 OAM mode to passive:
