Item
Description
Port
Displays the Port number (n-n) and rate (GE or TEN_GE).
EFM State
Sets the state of the EFM protocol for each port. The available options are:
 •
Enabled
 •
Disabled
Mode
Sets the operating mode of the port.
The available options are:
 •
Active—Sends OAM Protocol Data Units (OAMPDUs) at regular intervals to the partner ports.
 •
Passive—Does not send OAMPDUs until the partner ports send OAMPDUs.
Link Fault
Sets the remote failure indication (RFI) action. If the link is down on a port, the link fault RFI is sent to the partner port through OAMPDU. An alarm indicating the remote failure indication link fault (RFI-LF) is raised. The alarm is cleared after you clear the link fault condition.
You can specify the following actions for link fault RFI:
 •
Error Block—The interface is placed in the error-block state and the RFI-LF alarm is raised.
 •
None—Only the RFI-LF alarm is raised.
Note
Dying Gasp and critical events are not supported.
Session Timer
Indicates the duration when the EFM session is retained with the partner port without receiving OAMPDUs. The default value is 5 seconds. The values can range from 2 to 30 seconds.
Apply
Applies changes made to the EFM configuration.
Reset
Cancels any changes to the EFM configuration and returns it to its last-saved settings.
