A method and network device to execute an Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) protocol to configure the network device to participate as one of a plurality of customer edge (CE) routers that provide an active-active configuration for an Ethernet segment coupling the CE routers to a plurality of provider edge (PE) routers, wherein the processor is configured to determine whether a packet that is to be forwarded is an operations, administration, and management (OAM) packet; in response to determining that the packet comprises an OAM packet, replicate the OAM packet for one or more interface links of an Ethernet segment associated with the CE router; configure forwarding instructions to the one or more interface links of the Ethernet segment associated with the CE router; and forward the OAM packet and the replicated OAM packets to the PE routers.
