Functional Notes
This command enables the detection of a loopback alarm. This alarm works in conjunction with the
sa4tx-bit command setting. The loopback condition is detected by comparing the transmitted sa4tx-bit
value to the received Sa4 bit value. If the bits match, a loopback is assumed. This detection method only
works with a network in which the far end is transmitting the opposite value for Sa4.
Usage Examples
The following example enables detection of a loop alarm on the E1 interface:
(config)#config e1 1/1
(config-e1 1/1)#loop-alarm-detect
