Hardware Loopback
The show platform stack ports buffer privileged EXEC command output shows the hardware loopback
values.

On a Catalyst 3750v2 member, the Loopback HW value is always N/A.
On a Catalyst 3750 member,
If at least one stack port has an connected stack cable, the Loopback HW value for both stack ports
is No.
���If neither stack port has an connected stack cable, the Loopback HW value for both stack ports is Yes.
On a Catalyst 3750-E member,
If a stack port has an connected stack cable, the Loopback HW value for the stack port is No.
If the stack port does not have an connected stack cable, the Loopback HW value for the stack port
is Yes.
Hardware Loopback Example: LINK OK event
On a Catalyst 3750 switch:
Switch# show platform stack ports buffer
