4.5 Testing the Packet Loss Ratio on the Physical Link

By testing the packet loss ratio on a physical link, you can take effective measures to ensure
better performance of the link.

4.5.1 Establishing the Configuration Task

Before testing the packet loss ratio on a physical link, familiarize yourself with the applicable
environment, complete the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the data required for the
configuration. This will help you complete the configuration task quickly and accurately.
Applicable Environment
Forwarding of service data is affected after EFM OAM remote loopback is enabled. Enable EFM
OAM remote loopback on the link that need not forward service data.
You can perform the configuration task to detect the packet loss ratio on a link.
As shown in
loopback on GE0/0/1 on Switch A. Send test packets from Switch A to SwitchB. You can get
the packet loss ratio on the link by observing the receiving of test packets on Switch A.
