Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) Enhancement

Feature Summary

The Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) feature performs the following functions:

OAM is supported on point-to-point subinterfaces with a single permanent virtual circuit (PVC) on the PA-A3 ATM interface.

After the feature is enabled, the F5 OAM AIS with the failure equal to AIS(0x6A) is monitored on the PVC. If the number of consecutive OAM AIS cells received is greater than the configured number, the subinterface is brought down. The subinterface is up when no OAM AIS cell is received during a configured interval.

If the PVC has end-to-end OAM loopback enabled, the subinterface is brought down after a configured number of retries. After the OAM loopback succeeds or the far-end router sends a loopback request, the subinterface is brought up.

Platforms

This feature is supported on these platforms:

Configuration Tasks

To configure the OAM feature, perform the following tasks beginning in global configuration mode:
Task Command

1 .Specify the interface or subinterface and interface configuration mode.

interface atm number

2 .Set the number of consecutive OAM AIS cells received.

atm oam-man ais-down [number]

3 .Set the number of seconds with no OAM AIS cells received before the subinterface is brought up.

atm oam-man ais-up [number]

4 .Set the number of OAM loopback retries attempted before the subinterface is brought down.

atm oam-man retries [number]

5 .Verify the configuration.

show atm interface

6 .Verify the number of virtual cells to see if the number of cells is greater than a configurable number.

show atm vc

7 .Exit configuration mode.

end

For information on other commands that can be used by the PA-A3 ATM interface, refer to the Cisco  IOS Release 11.1 configuration guides.

For ATM configuration information and examples, refer to the ATM chapters in the Wide-Area Networking Configuration Guide.

Configuration Example

The following example enables the OAM AIS feature. The following is an example on ATM interface 1 in slot 0.

router# configure terminal
router(config)# interface a1/0
router(config-if)#atm oam 
router(config-if)#atm oam-man ais-down 5 ais-up 6 retries 20
router(config-if)#end

Command Reference

This section documents new or modified commands. All other commands used with this feature are documented in the Cisco IOS Release 11.1 command references.

atm oam-man

Use the atm oam-man command to specify the number of consecutive OAM AIS cells received before the subinterface is brought down and brought up. This command is also used to specify how many times an OAM loopback is attempted before the subinterface stops functioning. The no form of this command halts OAM AIS function from the configuration.

atm oam-man [ais-down [number] | ais-up [seconds] | retries [number]]
no atm oam-man
Syntax Description

ais-down number

Number of consecutive OAM AIS cells received. The range is 3 to 60. The default is 3 OAM AIS cells.

ais-up seconds

Number of seconds with no OAM AIS cells received. The range is 3 to 60 seconds. The default is 3 seconds.

retries number

The number of retries range is 1 to 60. The default is 3 retries.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.1CC.

Examples

The following example shows five consecutive OAM cells received before the sub-interface is brought down, and 6 seconds with no OAM AIS cells received must elapse before the configuration is brought back up. In addition, 60 OAM loopback attempts occur before the interface is brought down.

router(config-if)#atm oam-man ais-down 5 ais-up 6 retries 60

show atm interface

Use the show atm interface command to specify how many times an OAM loopback is attempted before the subinterface stops functioning.

show atm interface slot/port (Cisco 7200 series with ATM port adapter; Cisco 7500 series with AIP)
show atm interface slot/port-adapter/port (Cisco 7500 series with ATM port adapter)
Syntax Description

slot/port

ATM slot number and port number on the following:

  • Cisco 7200 series and ATM port adapter

  • Cisco 7500 series with AIP

slot/port-adapter/port

ATM slot, port adapter, and port number on the Cisco  7500 series with ATM port adapter

Command Mode

Privileged EXEC

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.1.

Sample Display

The following is sample output from the show atm interface command on a Cisco 7500 series router:

Router# show atm interface a1/0
ATM interface ATM1/0:
AAL enabled:  AAL5 , Maximum VCs: 4096, Current VCCs: 3
Maximum Datagram Size:4528 MIDs/VC: 1024
OAM AIS Down:3, Up:3, Max loopback retries:3
PLIM Type:E3 - 34Mbps, Framing is G.832/G.804, TX clocking: LINE 
Scrambling:ON, 566018 input, 568653 output, 0 IN fast, 0 OUT fast, ATM1/0.60: AAL3/4-SMDS address c148.1234.1111 Multicast e180.9999.9999 Config. is ACTIVE
Field Description

ATM interface ATM1/0

Slot and port number of the interface.

AAL enabled

Type of AAL. If both AAL5 and AAL3/4 are enabled on the interface, the output includes both AAL5 and AAL3/4.

Maximum VCs

Maximum number of virtual circuits this interface can support.

Current VCCs

Number of active virtual circuits.

Maximum Datagram Size

Size of datagram.

MIDs/VC

Maximum configured number of message identifiers allowed per virtual circuit on this interface.

OAM AIS Down

Number of consecutive OAM AIS cells received.

Up

Number of seconds with no OAM AIS cells received.

Max loopback retries

Number of loopback retries, ranging from 1 to 60.

PLIM Type

Type of physical layer interface module.

Framing is

No framing.

TX clocking

Clocking on the router. LINE indicates that the ATM switch provides the clocking.

Scrambling

Indication that scrambling is on or off.

input

Number of packets received and process-switched.

output

Number of packets sent from process switch.

IN fast

Number of input packets fast-switched.

OUT fast

Number of output packets fast-switched.

ATM 1/0.60:

Indication that the subinterface supports ATM adaptation layer AAL 3/4 and displays the SMDS E.164 unicast address and the SMDS E.164 multicast address assigned to the subinterface.

Config. is

ACTIVE or VALID in n SECONDS. ACTIVE indicates that the current AIP or NPM configuration has been loaded into the AIP and is being used. There is a 5-second window when a user changes a configuration and the configuration is sent to the AIP.
