Configuring basic Ethernet OAM functions

To set up an Ethernet OAM connection between two Ethernet OAM entities, you must set at least one entity to operate in active mode. An Ethernet OAM entity can initiate OAM connection only in active mode.

To change the Ethernet OAM mode on an Ethernet OAM-enabled port, first disable Ethernet OAM on the port.
