TPLINK-ETHERNETOAMRFICFG-MIB

Description: Manages TP-Link switch Ethernet OAM remote failure indication configuration and signaling.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

TPLINK-ETHERNETOAMRFICFG-MIB is a TP-Link enterprise MIB that configures Ethernet Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) Remote Failure Indication (RFI) on TP-Link managed switches, a feature defined under the IEEE 802.3ah/802.3 Clause 57 Ethernet OAM framework for supervising point-to-point links. It exposes per-port configuration objects controlling whether the switch generates and reacts to RFI flags such as dying gasp, critical event, and link fault signaling exchanged with an OAM peer. Although framed as configuration, its core purpose is hardware and link-health monitoring: RFI is the mechanism by which a switch tells its neighbor (and, indirectly, an NMS) that it has lost power, suffered a critical fault, or detected a link failure, so administrators can be alerted to physical-layer problems as they occur. It depends conceptually on the IEEE 802.3ah Ethernet OAM standard rather than defining an independent discovery mechanism. It is typically deployed on TP-Link managed switches at the network edge or in metro/access aggregation where OAM supervises links to remote sites, DSLAMs, or customer-premises equipment. Engineers can download the TPLINK-ETHERNETOAMRFICFG-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

No object or table names were captured in the available source excerpt for this module, so specific identifiers cannot be cited here. Based on its stated purpose, the module would typically expose per-port enable and threshold settings for RFI transmission alongside received-flag status (dying gasp, critical event, link fault) for each OAM-enabled port. An administrator would poll these settings after a remote link event to confirm whether the local switch correctly signaled or received an RFI condition, revealing power loss or hardware failure at the far end of the link.
