The General area displays the following fields:
Loopback—The following options are available:
Caution When the loopback for the Ethernet interface in the GRP is enabled, the Ethernet
communication link to the Cisco 12000 Series Router will be lost.
Note If the communication link to the Cisco 12000 Series Router is lost it cannot be switched on again from
Cisco EMF, and access to the Cisco 12000 Series Router is required before the link can be re-enabled.
Keepalive Period—Displays set the keepalive period. The system sends packets after this interval to
know if the interface or the network is up for routing packets. By default this interval is 10 seconds.

Figure 8-3 on page
Internal—No cable is needed to connect the input and output ports. The data is looped back within
the device itself. Applicable only for Gigabit and Fast Ethernet interfaces.
External—Input and output ports are physically connected by a cable to simulate a loopback. When
data is transmitted, it travels through the output port and enters the device through the input port.
Applicable only for Gigabit and Fast Ethernet interfaces.
Enabled—Packets are transmitted back to the source to test the interface functionality and ensure
that packets transmitted through the interface reach the destination. Applicable only for GRP
Ethernet interfaces.
Disabled—Disables switches loopback off for GRP, Fast and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
