Performing Internal Loopbacks

Internal loopback tests send and receive FC2 frames to/from the same ports and provides the round trip
time taken in microseconds. These tests are available for both Fibre Channel and iSCSI interfaces.
Use the EXEC-level system health internal-loopback command to explicitly run this test on demand
(when requested by the user) within ports for the entire module.
switch# system health internal-loopback interface iscsi 8/1
Internal loopback test on interface iscsi8/1 was
Round trip time taken is 79 useconds
If the test fails to complete successfully, the software analyzes the failure and prints the following error:
Note
External loopback test on interface fc 7/2 failed. Failure reason: Failed to loopback,
analysis complete Failed device ID 3 on module 1

Performing External Loopbacks

External loopback tests send and receive FC2 frames to/from the same port. You need to connect a cable
(or a plug) to loop the Rx port to the Tx port before running the test. This test is only available for Fibre
Channel interfaces.
Use the EXEC-level system health external-loopback command to run this test on demand for external
devices connected to a switch that is part of a long-haul network.
switch# system health external-loopback interface fc 3/1
This will shut the requested interfaces Do you want to continue (y/n)?
External loopback test on interface fc3/1 was
Use the system health external-loopback interface force command to shut down the required interface
directly without a back out confirmation.
switch# system health external-loopback interface fc 3/1 force
External loopback test on interface fc3/1 was
If the test fails to complete successfully, the software analyzes the failure and prints the following error:
Note
External loopback test on interface fc 7/2 failed. Failure reason: Failed to loopback,
analysis complete Failed device ID 3 on module 1
