VLAN Stacking Commands

loopback-test

Configures a wire-speed Ethernet loopback test profile and enables or disables the activation of the profile.
The loopback test profile specifies the switch attributes that are required to conduct an ingress or egress
loopback operation on a switch port.

Usage Guidelines
•
Use the no form of this command to delete a loopback profile.
•
Use the loopback-test enable command to enable the loopback test profile on the specified port. When
the profile is enabled, the loopback operation is enabled for the port.
•
Use the loopback-test disable command to disable the loopback operation for the specified port.
•
Once a UNI or NNI port is designated as a loopback port, the port is no longer eligible to participate in
other switch functions. In addition, an outward loopback port goes "out-of-service" and will no longer
carry customer traffic but remains active for test frame traffic. However, an inward loopback port
remains "in-service" and will continue to carry customer traffic as well as test frame traffic.
