Enabling OAM Flush

You can use the atm oam flush command to enable the OAM flush feature for an ATM interface. When OAM flush is enabled, the router ignores all OAM cells received on the interface, and stops sending OAM cells on this interface.

You can also issue the atm oam flush command with the optional alarm-cells keyword to cause the router to ignore only AIS and RDI cells and to accept all other OAM cells. This is useful in diagnostic situations when you might want to exclude alarm conditions.

Note: The OAM flush feature is supported on all E-series ATM module combinations.
