Ethernet Interface Tests for Switch and Eth Ports

Asynchronous interfaces require a loopback plug to be installed before the test will operate. See “Cables and Loopback Plugs” on page 51 for details of how to make a loopback plug. To start a test of an asynchronous interface, use the command:

enable test int=portn

where n is the interface number. This will run the test for 4 minutes. Use the show test command (from the Test Facility chapter of the Software Reference), to observe the test progress.

A loopback plug is required to run the first part of the Ethernet test on eth ports and switch ports. See “Cables and Loopback Plugs” on page 51 for details of how to make a loopback plug.

To start a test of an Eth interface, use the command:

enable test int=ethn

where n is the Ethernet interface number.

To start a test of a switch port interface, use the command:

enable test int=portn

where n is the switch port number.

This will run the test for 4 minutes. Use the show test command (from the Test Facility chapter of the Software Reference), to observe the test progress.

AR770S To test an eth port on the AR770S in 1000 Mbps mode, loop the port back to the other eth port. To test a switch port in 1000 Mbps mode, loop the port back to another switch port. In 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps mode, either loop the port back to another port, or use a loopback plug. If two or more ports are looped back to each other, you must test both ports at the same time. Use the command:

enable test int=base

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

WAN Port Tests To fully test synchronous interfaces, an external tester (available from your authorised Allied Telesis distributor or reseller) is required. A loopback plug is not required to test BRI interfaces.

To start a WAN interface test, use the command:

enable test int=synn

or

enable test int=brin

where n is the WAN interface number. This will run the test for 4 minutes. Use the show test command (from the Test Facility chapter of the Software Reference), to observe the test progress.

AR700 Series specifications

The Allied Telesis AR700 Series represents a robust line of edge routers engineered for high-performance networking. These devices are aimed at delivering versatility and scalability, catering to the needs of various organizations, whether small businesses or larger enterprises. Known for their reliability and advanced features, the AR700 Series stands out as a compelling option for organizations seeking to enhance their network infrastructure.

One of the standout features of the AR700 Series is its support for advanced routing protocols. The routers are capable of handling various protocols such as OSPF, BGP, and RIP, ensuring seamless integration within diverse network environments. This capability allows organizations to efficiently manage their routing needs, optimizing data flow for enhanced performance.

In addition to its routing protocols, the AR700 Series supports powerful Quality of Service (QoS) features. This technology prioritizes network traffic based on specific requirements, ensuring that vital applications receive the necessary bandwidth. This is particularly important for businesses that rely on real-time services such as video conferencing or voice over IP (VoIP), where uninterrupted service is critical.

The AR700 Series is also equipped with advanced security features to safeguard against cyber threats. With built-in firewall capabilities, VPN support, and traffic filtering, these routers help protect sensitive data from unauthorized access and attacks. Additionally, the ability to implement VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) further enhances the security and manageability of the network.

Scalability is a key characteristic of the AR700 Series. Organizations can easily expand their network capabilities as they grow, with support for various interface modules. This flexibility enables businesses to adapt their infrastructure without the need for complete overhauls, making it a cost-effective solution in the long run.
