1.5.5 Create a Terminal Loopback on Intermediate-Node Ethernet Ports
d. Select OOS,MT from the Admin State column. If this is a multiport card, select the row appropriate
for the desired port.
e. Select Terminal from the Loopback Type column. If this is a multiport card, select the row
appropriate for the desired port.
f. Click Apply.
g. Click Yes in the confirmation dialog box.
Step 6 Complete the “Test and Clear the Ethernet Terminal Loopback Circuit” procedure on page 1-83.
Test and Clear the Ethernet Terminal Loopback Circuit
Step 1 If the test set is not already sending traffic, send test traffic on the loopback circuit.
Step 2 Examine the test traffic being received by the test set. Look for errors or any other signal information
that the test set is capable of indicating.
Step 3 If the test set indicates a good circuit, no further testing is necessary on the loopback circuit. Clear the
terminal loopback from the port:
a. Double-click the intermediate-node card with the terminal loopback to open the card view.
b. Click the Maintenance > Loopback tabs.
c. Select None from the Loopback Type column for the port being tested.
d. Select the appropriate state (IS; OOS,DSBLD; OOS,MT) in the Admin State column for the port
being tested.
e. Click Apply.
f. Click Yes in the confirmation dialog box.
Step 4 Clear the terminal loopback circuit:
a. Click the Circuits tab.
b. Choose the loopback circuit being tested.
c. Click Delete.
d. Click Yes in the Delete Circuits dialog box. Do not check any check boxes.
Step 5 Complete the “Test the Ethernet Card” procedure on page 1-83.
Test the Ethernet Card
Step 1 Complete the “Physically Replace a Traffic Card” procedure on page 2-273 for the suspected bad card
and replace it with a known-good one.
Step 2 Resend test traffic on the loopback circuit with a known-good card.
Step 3 If the test set indicates a good circuit, the problem was probably the defective card. Return the defective
card to Cisco through the RMA process. Contact Cisco Technical Support at 1 800 553-2447.
Step 4 Complete the “Physically Replace a Traffic Card” procedure on page 2-273 for the defective card.
