cienaCesOamPeerMode

Module: CIENA-CES-OAM-MIB

OID (symbolic): CIENA-CES-OAM-MIB::cienaCesOamPeerMode

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.1271.2.3.5.1.1.5.1.6

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: The mode of the OAM peer as reflected in the latest Information OAMPDU received with a Local Information TLV. The mode of the peer can be determined from the Configuration field in the Local Information TLV of the last Information OAMPDU received from the peer. This value is initialized to unknown(3), and is not valid if the cienaCesOamPeerStatus is inactive.

An Information OAMPDU is indicated by a valid frame with (1) destination MAC address equal to that of the reserved MAC address for Slow Protocols (See 43B of [802.3ah]), (2) a lengthOrType field equal to the reserved type for Slow Protocols, (3) a Slow Protocols subtype equal to that of the subtype reserved for OAM, and (4) an OAM code that equals the code reserved for Information OAMPDUs.

What is cienaCesOamPeerMode?

This read-only INTEGER reports the OAM mode, active, passive, or unknown, of the peer entity, as determined from the Configuration field of its most recently received Local Information TLV, per its description, initialized to unknown until a peer is discovered. Since two passive-mode devices can never establish an OAM session, this field is a key diagnostic when troubleshooting a link that never completes discovery; it should show 'active' on at least one end for a session to form at all. An engineer would read this field on both ends of a non-negotiating link to confirm neither peer is incorrectly left in passive mode.
