Optional 
By default, the system runs 
loopback detection only on the 
default VLAN of the current

Required 
By default, port loopback

z  To enable loopback detection on a specific port, you must use the loopback-detection enable 
command in both system view and the specific port view.  
z  After you use the undo loopback-detection enable command in system view, loopback detection 
will be disabled on all ports.  
z  The commands of loopback detection feature cannot be configured with the commands of port link 
aggregation at the same time. 
z  The  loopback-detection control enable command and the loopback-detection per-vlan 
enable command are not applicable to access ports. When the link type of a non-access port 
changes to access, the two commands already configured on the port become invalid 
automatically.  
 
Enabling Loopback Test 
You can configure the Ethernet port to run loopback test to check if it operates normally. The port 
running loopback test cannot forward data packets normally. The loopback test terminates 
automatically after a specific period.  
Follow these steps to enable loopback test:
