Patent ID: 8670331

Claim:
A method for detecting Ethernet Operation, Administration and Maintenance (OAM), and the method based on a telecommunication network management system and comprising: sending a detection maintenance entity OAM command to a network element equipment board after a user activates an established maintenance entity; receiving a reply message sent by the network element equipment board and acquiring replying board information and monitoring Identifier (ID) information matched with the maintenance entity; and detecting whether preconfigured heartbeat detection time is reached: if the preconfigured heartbeat detection time is not reached, detecting whether a OAM detection result which is reported by the network element equipment board and is matched with a monitoring ID is received, and if the OAM detection result is received, transferring the OAM detection result to a network management interface to be displayed; if the preconfigured heartbeat detection time is reached, sending a heartbeat detection message, and detecting whether the OAM detection result which is reported by the network element equipment board and is matched with the monitoring ID is received after receiving a heartbeat reply message, and if the OAM detection result is received, transferring the OAM detection result to the network management interface to be displayed.
