Dave, idle curiousity - in your opinion, are there circumstances in which you would NOT want to run OAM?
I forget the exact situation, but I was working with a customer on an issue, and the customer brought up OAM, and my own reading suggested it wasn't a bright idea. Might have been on an RLAN design - ATM DS3 at the host and DSL at a number of remote sites ( work at home, IIRC ) If OAM detects a failure on the ATM circuit, doesn't it shut down the interface, requiring manual restart when the line comes back up? If so, OAM is more of a carrier thing? thanks Chuck ""MADMAN"" wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Your question is not very clear but OAM works fine and is quite > simple to configure: > > interface ATM1/0.32 point-to-point > ip address 1.1.1.2 255.255.255.0 > pvc madman 1/32 > oam-pvc manage All, > > Any idea about ATM links with end-to-end support for OAM cells > configuration > > to detect remote equipment failure > > > > Thanks and best regards > > _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ > -- > David Madland > CCIE# 2016 > Sr. Network Engineer > Qwest Communications > 612-664-3367 > > "Government can do something for the people only in proportion as it > can do something to the people." -- Thomas Jefferson Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=70732&t=70715 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
