GL Communications PacketExpert 10GX Quick Verification

If this is your First-Time-Use of PacketExpert™ 10GX unit, then we recommend you follow all the steps explained in
PacketExpert-10GX-Quick-Install-Guide
Quick Verification
"RFC 2544" is a basic application available within the PacketExpert™ software. No additional license installation is required.
For 'RFC 2544' functional verification, self-test can be performed using a single PacketExpert™ 10GX unit.
"RFC 2544" test scenario can be demonstrated on 1G ports by directly connecting Port 1 to 2 through Ethernet cable (for
Electrical Interface test) or connect 1G: Port 1 to 2 through SFP and Optical cable (for optical interface test).
"RFC 2544" test scenario is also supported on 10G ports and 2.5G Ports by directly connecting Port 1 to 2 through SFP and
Optical cable (for Optical interface test).

Step 1: Connect the cables

Perform Test on 10G/2.5G Optical Interface
Note:
•
Optical Interface test is possible on 10G/2.5G Port 1 and Port 2 only.
•
Plug-in SFP Transceivers to the optical ports and cross connect LC optical cable between Port 1 and Port 2 as shown in the figure
below.
Note:
•
Make sure SFP is properly locked, and the optical cable is properly plugged in.
Perform Test on 1G (Electrical or Optical Interface)
•
For 1G Electrical Interface type, cross-connect 1G: Port 1 to 2 using Ethernet cable as shown in the figure below.
•
For 1G Optical Interface type, plug-in SFP Transceivers to the optical ports and connect LC optical cable to 1G: Ports 1 & 2 (refer
to figure).
Note:
•
Make sure SFP is properly locked, and the optical cable is properly plugged in.
