Specifying the Actions to Be Taken for Link-Fault Management Events

You can specify the action to be taken by the system when the configured link-fault event occurs. Multiple action profiles can be applied to a single interface. For each action-profile, at least one event and one action must be specified. The actions are taken only when all of the events in the action profile are true. If more than one action is specified, all the actions are executed.

You might want to set a lower threshold for a specific action such as logging the error and set a higher threshold for another action such as sending a critical event TLV.

To specify the action, include the action statement at the [edit protocols oam ethernet link-fault-management action-profile profile-name] hierarchy level:

To create a system log entry when the link-fault event occurs, include the syslog statement.

To administratively disable the link when the link-fault event occurs, include the link-down statement.

To send IEEE 802.3ah link event TLVs in the OAM PDU when a link-fault event occurs, include the send-critical-event statement.

Note: If multiple actions are specified in the action profile, all of the actions are executed in no particular order.
