5.4.4 ATM Loopback

In order to isolate ATM interface problems, you can use ATM OAM loopback

cells to verify connectivity between VP/VC endpoints, as well as segment

endpoints within the VP/VC. This screen allows you to use ATM ping to test the

reachability of a segment endpoint or a connection endpoint.
