Ethernet Data Plane Loopback
This is an intrusive loopback and the packets matched with the service will not be able to 
pass through. Continue? (yes/[no]):
Enter yes to continue.
This example shows how to stop an Ethernet data plane loopback:
Router#ethernet loopback stop local interface gigabitethernet 0/2.1101 id 1
Router#*Oct 21 10:16:17.887: %E_DLB-6-DATAPLANE_LOOPBACK_STOP: Ethernet Dataplane Loopback 
Stop on interface GigabitEthernet0/2 with session id 1
Router#show ethernet loopback active
Total Active Session(s): 0
Total Internal Session(s): 0
Total External Session(s): 0
Verifying the Ethernet Data Plane Loopback Configuration
Use the following commands to verify the Ethernet data plane loopback configuration:
• show ethernet loopback permitted
• show ethernet loopback active
Use the show ethernet loopback permitted command to view the loopback capabilities per interface:
Router#show ethernet loopback permitted
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Use the show ethernet loopback active command to display the summary of the active loopback 
sessions on a subinterface:
Router#show ethernet loopback active
Loopback Session ID     : 1

Use the show ethernet loopback active command to display the summary of the active loopback 
sessions on the main interface: 
Router#show ethernet loopback permitted
Loopback Session ID     : 1
Interface               : GigabitEthernet0/2
