Configuring LBD
This section describes how to use the OmniSwitch Command Line Interface (CLI) commands to configure
LBD on a switch.
• Enable LBD on a switch or port (see “Enabling LBD” on page 7-7)
• Enable remote-origin LBD on a switch or port (see“Enabling Remote-origin LBD” on page 7-7)
• Configure the LBD transmission timer (see “Configuring the LBD Transmission Timer” on page 7-8)
• View the LBD statistics on a port (see “Viewing LBD Statistics” on page 7-8)
• Recover a port from LBD shutdown (see “Recovering a Port from LBD Shutdown” on page 7-8)
• Configuring Autorecovery-timer (see “Configuring Autorecovery-timer for LBD shutdown ports” on
page 7-8)
• Enable LBD on Service Access Interface (see “Enabling LBD on Service-access Interface” on
page 7-9)
Enabling LBD
By default, LBD is disabled on the switch. To enable LBD on a switch, use the loopback-detection
command. For example, the following command enables LBD on a switch:
-> loopback-detection enable
Enabling LBD on a Port
By default, LBD is disabled on all switch ports. To enable LBD on a port, use the loopback-detection
port command. For example, the following command enables LBD in chassis 1 on port 1 of slot 1:
-> loopback-detection port 1/1/1 enable
To enable LBD on multiple ports, specify a range of ports. For example:
-> loopback-detection port 1/1/1-8 enable
Enabling Remote-origin LBD
By default, remote-origin LBD is disabled on the switch. To enable remote-origin LBD on a switch, use
the loopback-detection command with the remote-origin parameter. For example, the following
command enables remote-origin LBD on a switch:
-> loopback-detection remote-origin enable
Enabling Remote-origin LBD on a port
By default, remote-origin LBD is disabled on all switch ports. To enable remote-origin LBD on a port, use
the loopback-detection port command with the remote-origin parameter. For example, the following
command enables remote-origin LBD in chassis 3 on port 1 of slot 1:
-> loopback-detection port 3/1/1 remote-origin enable
