Ethernet OAM link events 
Description 
Errored frame seconds event 
When the number of error frame seconds 
detected on a port over a detection interval 
reaches the error threshold, an errored frame 
seconds event occurs. 
 
 
The system transforms the period of detecting errored frame period events into the maximum 
number of 64-byte frames that a port can send in the specific period, that is, the system takes the 
maximum number of frames sent as the period. The maximum number of frames sent is calculated 
using this formula: the maximum number of frames = interface bandwidth (bps) × errored frame 
period event detection period (in ms)/(64 × 8 × 1000) 
If errored frames appear in a certain second, this second is called an errored frame second.  
 
Remote fault detection 
In a network where traffic is interrupted due to device failures or unavailability, the flag field defined in 
Ethernet OAMPDUs allows an Ethernet OAM entity to send error information to its peer. It can identify 
the critical link error events listed in 
Table 1-5 Critical link error events 
Ethernet OAM link events 
Description 
Link Fault 
Peer link signal is lost. 
Dying Gasp 
An unexpected fault, such as power failure, 
occurred. 
Critical event 
An undetermined critical event happened. 
 
As Information OAMPDUs are exchanged periodically across established OAM connections, an 
Ethernet OAM entity can inform one of its OAM peers of link faults through Information OAMPDUs. 
Therefore, the network administrator can keep track of link status in time through the log information 
and troubleshoot in time. 
Remote loopback 
Remote loopback is available only after the Ethernet OAM connection is established. With remote 
loopback enabled, the Ethernet OAM entity operating in active Ethernet OAM mode sends 
non-OAMPDUs to its peer. After receiving these PDUs, the peer does not forward them according to 
their destination addresses. Instead, it returns them to the sender along the original path. 
Remote loopback enables you to check the link status and locate link failures. Performing remote 
loopback periodically helps to detect network faults in time. Furthermore, performing remote loopback 
by network segments helps to locate network faults.
