To configure an advanced loopback test on an OmniSwitch from a device Properties form

Steps

Note: Only one test profile per port can be created, up to a maximum of 8 ports on an NE.

The test profile cannot be created on a port that is part of a LAG.

 

Choose Equipment from the navigation tree. The navigation tree displays the Equipment view.


Expand the OmniSwitch NEs icon.


Right-click on the device where you want to configure an advanced loopback test and select Properties. The Network Element (Edit) form opens.


On the Network Element (Edit) form navigation tree, expand the Shelf icon.


Expand to the port level and click on a port object. The Physical Port (Edit) form opens.


Click on the Advanced Loopback tab. Click Create. The AOS Advanced Loopback (Create) form opens.


Configure the required parameters.

Note: For OS 6250 and OS 6450 NEs, when the Traffic Type parameter value is set to Outward, the user can specify the SAP Id, provided the SAP Id already exists on the NE.

If a loopback profile is created with the Traffic Type parameter value set to Outward, the SAP Id parameter will be provided with the default value of 0. If the loopback profile is created with a SAP Id, the SAP Id must exist on the NE.
