OAM Segment Endpoint

The OAM Segment Endpoint feature terminates segment Operation, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) cells arriving on the Layer 2 transport virtual circuit (VC). The OAM Segment Endpoint feature helps in checking the segment connectivity. This feature can be used with Any Transport over MPLS (AToM) and Layer 2 Tunnel Protocol Version 3 (L2TPv3).

Finding Feature Information

Your software release may not support all the features documented in this module. For the latest feature information and caveats, see the release notes for your platform and software release. To find information about the features documented in this module, and to see a list of the releases in which each feature is supported, see the Feature Information for OAM Segment Endpoint.

Prerequisites for OAM Segment Endpoint

This feature can be enabled under Layer 2 transport permanent virtual circuit (PVC) submode and virtual circuit (VC) class configuration mode.

Restrictions for OAM Segment Endpoint

The following restrictions apply to the OAM Segment Endpoint feature:

  • The OAM attachment circuit (AC) segment endpoint configuration is applicable only in the case of Layer 2 transport virtual circuits (VCs)/virtual paths (VPs).

  • In Cisco 7200 routers, by default the segment cells for VPs are handled in the provider edge (PE) and are not transported on the pseudowire transparently.

  • In Cisco 12000 series Internet routers, the segment OAM cells in VCs with encapsulation ATM adaptation layer 5 (AAL5) are handled in the PE and are not transported on the pseudowire transparently.

  • If OAM cell emulation is configured, OAM segment endpoint is redundant.

Information About OAM Segment Endpoint

To configure the OAM Segment Endpoint feature, you should understand the following concept:

VP VC Segment Endpoint

The Cisco 12000 series Internet router or Cisco 7200 router responds to the incoming segment cells, if the OAM Segment Endpoint feature is configured; otherwise they are transferred on the pseudowire.

Irrespective of whether the is feature is enabled or not, End OAM cells for both VPs and VCs are transferred on the pseudowire. To terminate End OAM cells, you need to enable OAM-emulation.

The figure below shows ATM transport over MPLS.

How to Configure OAM Segment Endpoint

See the following sections for tasks that use the oam-ac segment endpointcommand to terminate the segment OAM cells on a VC:

Configuring OAM Segment Endpoint

This feature coexists with OAM emulation for Layer 2 VCs. If OAM emulation is already enabled, segment endpoint configuration is redundant. On the Cisco 12000 series router, F4/F5 distributed Operations, Administration and Maintenance (dOAM) is enabled by default.

          Feature Information

          OAM Segment Endpoint

          12.0(30)S 12.2(33)SRE

          The OAM Segment Endpoint feature terminates segment Operation, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) cells arriving on the Layer 2 transport virtual circuit (VC). The OAM Segment Endpoint feature helps in checking the segment connectivity. This feature can be used with Any Transport over MPLS (AToM) and Layer 2 Tunnel Protocol Version 3 (L2TPv3).

          The following sections provide information about this feature:

          The following commands were introduced or modified: oam-ac segment endpoint, show atm pvc.

          Glossary

          customer edge (CE) router --A router that belongs to a customer network, which connects to a provider edge (PE) router to utilize Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Virtual Private Network (VPN) network services.

          provider edge (PE) router --Entry point into the service provider network. The PE router is typically deployed on the edge of the network and is administered by the service provider. The PE router is the redistribution point between Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) and Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) in PE to CE networking.

          pseudowire (PW)--A mechanism that carries the elements of an emulated service from one provider edge (PE) to one or more PEs over a packet-switched network (PSN).

          VPN --virtual private network. Allows IP traffic to travel securely over public TCP/IP networks and the Internet by encapsulating and encrypting all IP packets. VPN uses a tunnel to encrypt all information at the IP level.
