dot3OamPeerMode

Module: DOT3-OAM-MIB

OID (symbolic): DOT3-OAM-MIB::dot3OamPeerMode

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.158.1.2.1.4

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. The value is unknown(3) whenever no Local Information TLV has been received. The values of active(2) and passive(1) are returned when a Local Information TLV has been received indicating that the peer is in active or passive mode, respectively.

What is dot3OamPeerMode?

This read-only value reports whether the OAM peer is operating in active(2) or passive(1) mode, or unknown(3) if no Information OAMPDU with that data has been received yet. An admin checks this to confirm the two ends of a link are configured in a valid active/passive pairing rather than both passive (which would prevent OAM peering from completing).
