Steps
Invoke a network loopback
Use this command to invoke a near-end or far-end network loopback
to a specific MAC address. The system responses are the same for
both near-end and far-end loopbacks.
Sequence:
set network loopback nearend|farend xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
[queue <queue>] [<time>]
Where :
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx is the destination MAC address of the
target device
<queue> is the number of the target queue (1 to 5) and is
optional. Default is queue 1.
<time> is the time after which the loopback is automatically
removed and is optional. Default time is 30 seconds.
Example:
set network loopback nearend 60:50:40:30:20:10 queue 2 45
press Enter
The system responds:
This may affect user traffic. Continue? Enter Y(Yes) or N(No): y
Network Loopback is : on
get network loopback press Enter
The network loopback is active
Location : Near end
Destination MAC : 60:50:40:30:20:10
User Queue : 2
The loopback will terminate automatically at 30/06/2010 16:48:27
Manually terminate a
loopback.
A loopback that has been applied with a time parameter of 0 (zero) is
maintained indefinitely (except on system reboot). To terminate the
loopback, or to terminate before a configured set time has fully
elapsed, use the following command:
Sequence:
set network loopback off press Enter
The system responds:
This may affect user traffic. Continue? Enter Y(Yes) or N(No) :y
Network loopback is: off
19.3 EOAM Loopback
Note that only one type of loopback (Radio, Network or EOAM) can be invoked on a Horizon Compact
Plus at any one time. See Volume 4 of this manual for more details about EOAM.
