Definitions and Managed Objects for Operations, Administration, and Maintenance Functions on Ethernet-Like Interfaces
RFC 4878, “Definitions and Managed Objects for Operations, Administration, and Maintenance Functions on Ethernet-Like Interfaces”, is a Proposed Standard document published in June 2007 by M. Squire. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines objects for managing Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) capabilities on Ethernet-like interfaces conformant to the Ethernet OAM functionality defined in the Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) clauses of the Ethernet standards. The Ethernet OAM functionality is complementary to the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) in that it is focused on a small set of link-specific functions for directly connected Ethernet interfaces. This document defines objects for controlling those link OAM functions and for providing results and status of the OAM functions to management entities. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
