Page 5: General Description
1. General description Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet loopback device Bercut-ETL is intended for loopback performing at the physical, data link, network and transport layers of the OSI model in IP/Ethernet networks. Incoming traffic is being retransmitted backward with possibility of source and destination MAC/IP addresses and TCP/UDP port numbers swapping. - Page 6 Bercut-ETL. Operating manual...

4. Loopback Bercut-ETL is intended for loopback performing. Incoming traffic is be- ing retransmitted backward with possibility of source and destination MAC/IP addresses and TCP/UDP port numbers swapping. Network testing with the Loopback function can be performed at the four OSI layers, jumbo frames are supported (up to 9600 byte). - Page 16 Note: the frame will be retransmitted only if a frames destination MAC address is equal to the MAC address of Bercut-ETL. Figure 4.3. Loopback at the network layer • At the Transport layer (L4) the incoming traffic (without error pack-...

Page 19: Remote Management
5.1 and 5.2, it is possible to configure device and view current settings. To manage Bercut-ETL over Telnet protocol connect to the device through the Ethernet interface or directly. Default IP address of the loopback device is 192.168.1.1. -
Page 20: Oam
The traffic (without error frames) is being retransmitted backward without swapping destination and source MAC addresses Possible OAM states are described below. • Passive — passive mode. In passive mode, Bercut-ETL can only re- sponse to Ethernet OAM commands from the remote device, but cannot initiate the Loopback mode. -
