Usage Guidelines

IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator
for assistance.
The DWDM controller supports two loopback operation modes for diagnostic purposes: internal and line.
The terminal (internal) loopback mode allows the received data from the Layer 2 Framer (for example, a
SONET/SDH framer for POS or Ethernet MAC for 10GE) of the PLIM to be looped back to the ingress side
of the Framer. This allows the packets to be looped back to the PLIM. The line loopback mode allows the
received trunk/DWDM line Rx to be connected to the trunk/DWDM line Tx towards the line. This is used
for line diagnostics.
