set port oam mode

Use this command to set the operating mode for the OAM client on the specified port.

Syntax

set port oam port-string mode {active | passive}

Parameters

port-string Specifies the port(s) to configure for OAM port mode. For a detailed description of possible port-string values, refer to Port String Syntax Used in the CLI in the S-, K-, and 7100 Series Configuration Guide.
active | passive Set the OAM mode for a port. The default value is active.

Defaults

None.

Mode

All command modes.

Usage

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.

Example

This example shows how to set the port ge.1.3 OAM mode to passive:

System(rw)->set port oam ge.1.3 mode passive
