Configuring a Remote
Loopback Test
Use the Administration > OAM > Remote Loopback (Remote Loopback Test) page
to initiate a loop back test to the peer device attached to the selected port.
Command Usage
â—† You can use this command to perform an OAM remote loop back test on the
specified port. The port that you specify to run this test must be connected to a
peer OAM device capable of entering into OAM remote loop back mode.
â—† During a remote loop back test, the remote OAM entity loops back every frame
except for OAMPDUs and pause frames.
â—† OAM remote loopback can be used for fault localization and link performance
testing. Statistics from both the local and remote DTE can be queried and
compared at any time during loop back testing.
â—† To perform a loopback test, first enable Remote Loop Back Mode, click Test, and
then click End. The number of packets transmitted and received will be
displayed.
