• An SFM walk will not be able to identify multiple faulty SFMs, faulty linecards, or faulty RPM. In this
case, the following event is logged.
• If a line card runtime loopback test fails, the system does not launch an SFM walk. A message is
logged indicating the failure.
The runtime dataplane loopback test is enabled by default. To disable this feature, use the following
command.
Disable RPM-SFM walk
If a full set of SFMs are online during the runtime loopback test and an RPM-SFM runtime loopback test
failure occurs, an automatic SFM walk is launched in an attempt to determine if the failure is due to a
faulty SFM. If confirmed, the single faulty SFM is identified and disabled by default.
To disable the automatic SFM walk that is launched after an RPM-SFM runtime loopback test failure, use
the following command in CONFIGURATION mode.

commands from taking effect.
