9.4 Configuring Remote MAC Swap Loopback

By configuring remote MAC swap loopback, you can test connectivity and performance of the
Ethernet network connected to a switch.

9.4.1 Establishing the Configuration Task

Before configuring remote MAC swap loopback, familiarize yourself with the applicable
environment, complete the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the data required for the
configuration. This can help you complete the configuration task quickly and accurately.
Applicable Environment
Before using an S3700 to provide services for users, perform a remote MAC swap loopback test
to check whether the S3700 can provide services properly. This test checks connectivity and
performance of the network between an S3700 uplink interface and a remote device. The remote
MAC swap loopback test can also check whether VLAN mapping and VLAN stacking are
configured successfully on the uplink interface.
A remote MAC swap loopback test checks connectivity and performance of the network between
a tester and a tested switch but does not check performance of the tested switch.
Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring remote MAC swap loopback, complete the following task:
