Additional Troubleshooting Resources

Loopback Testing

The POS uplink card supports two loopback modes for network testing, fault isolation, and agency compliance. The uplink card loopback modes are:

Internal loopback mode—Packets sent from the Cisco 10720 Internet Router out of the uplink card POS port TX optics are also looped back into the Cisco 10720 Internet Router.

Line loopback mode—Packets received by the POS uplink card port RX optics and sent into the Cisco 10720 Internet Router are also looped back out of the uplink card port TX optics.

Loopback testing is enabled through software. See the Cisco IOS Software Configuration for the Cisco 10720 Internet Router.
