Procedure 7-2: Operate/release loopback

- Overview

Use this procedure to operate/release loopbacks on the following VLNC4x and VLNC6x circuit pack interfaces:

  • DS1/E1/T1: VLNC6x

  • OC3/STM1: VLNC6x

  • Ethernet ports: VLNC4x and VLNC6x

- Before you begin

Obtain the work instructions for this procedure.

Step
 
1

Which pack: interface do you wish to execute a loopback?

If...

Then...

VLNC6x: TDM/PDH interface

Continue with Step 2.

VLNC4x: Ethernet interface

VLNC6x: Ethernet interface

Proceed to Step 4.


2

From the Navigation menu, select PDH/TDM → Loopback.

Result:

The Loopback screen appears.


3

Select the required interface and loopback type, then click Submit.

  • facility is supported on T1/E1 interfaces on VLNC60/61/62 (for both Circuit Emulation and MLPPP services), and the OC3/STM1 interface on VLNC64.

  • terminal is supported on a T1/E1 interface on VLNC60/61/62 when its encapsulation is Circuit Emulation. Starting in Release 7.2.2, terminal is also supported on the OC3/STM1 interface of VLNC64.

  • Loopback-eth is supported on a T1/E1 interface on VLNC64.

  • Loopback-opt is supported on a T1/E1 interface on VLNC64.

  • None clears an existing loopback.


4

From the Navigation menu, select Port → Ethernet Port → Configuration → Loopback.

Result:

The Loopback screen appears.


5

Select the required interface and loopback type, then click Submit.

  • line is supported on Ethernet interfaces on VLNC4x and VLNC6x packs.

  • terminal is supported on Ethernet interfaces on VLNC4x and VLNC6x packs.

  • None clears an existing loopback.
