Ethernet Link OAM (802.3ah) Emulation Software

The N5589A Link-OAM Protocol Emulation software is one component of the N2X Carrier Ethernet test solution, which includes emulation and conformance testing of technologies such as CFM, Y.1731, LACP, STP, RSTP, MSTP, BFD, L2oMPLS, VLANs, MEF 9, MEF 14 and MEF 21.

The N5589A enables stateful testing of the primary Link OAM functions described in the IEEE standard, maps them closely to a user-intuitive GUI (and associated automation API) continuing this work-flow logic through to the results and statistics.

Key Features

  • Stateful emulation of Link-OAM messages on pt-pt Ethernet links
    • Verify Discovery state machine operation
    • Generate link Event Notifications on demand
    • Simulate Remote Fault Indications
    • Perform remote loopback testing
  • User interface intuitively mapped to test scenarios from configuration through to results
  • ‘On the fly’ simulation of fault conditions and events
  • Comprehensive results and statistics
