Local Loopback Ports Settings
The Local Loopback Ports Settings are used to start or stop the internal loopback test on selected ports, or set to/recover external loopback mode. When internal loopback is enabled, the device starts to send test packets to the port, and keeps monitoring the packets received. When internal loopback is disabled, the loopback test is terminated and the result is displayed. A port can only operate in one loopback mode at a time. When external loopback is enabled, the MAC/PHY is set to external loopback mode. When external loopback is disabled, the MAC/PHY resumes normal operation.
