AR700 Series Router

Test Facility

A Test Facility designed to test the router’s physical interfaces is built into all the router software. The Test Facility can be thought of as a specialised interface module like PPP or Frame Relay. Although the router can continue to operate normally during specific tests, any interfaces being tested are dedicated to the Test Facility. For more information on the Test Facility’s operation, see the Test Facility chapter of the Software Reference.

The routers support a wide range of interface types, including Ethernet, asynchronous, synchronous, Basic Rate ISDN and Primary Rate ISDN. interface types (except Ethernet interfaces on the AT-AR026 PIC) can be tested independently using the Test Facility software. Most tests, however, will also require the use of a loopback plug. For more information on loopback plugs, see “Loopback Plugs for Testing Interfaces” on page 56.

AR026 PIC The Test Facility does not test Ethernet interfaces on AT-AR026

PICs.

The following examples show how to test specific interfaces.

To display test results use the command:

show test

 

 

 

which produces a display like that shown in Figure 34.
