Health Monitoring on the PXC

Health monitoring of the PXC sub-ports is based on EFM OAM where the Information OAMPDUs are transmitted by each peer (pxc sub-port) at the configured intervals. Their purpose is to perform keepalive and critical notification functions.

For PXCs with underlying faceplate ports, status monitoring can be enabled for either or both of the faceplate ports.

CRC monitoring on the RX side of the faceplate ports has the following characteristics:

Health monitoring on the faceplate ports level is disabled by default.

In addition to the explicitly configured aforementioned health monitoring mechanisms, PXC operational state transitions are by default reported by a port UP/DOWN trap:
