test loopback

Use the test loopback command to run a loopback test on the port. You can perform either an internal or an external loopback test on the POS module. The default is internal loopback. The syntax is:

test loopback <ports> <intext>

Note: The loopback tests test only the control path; they do not test the data path.

To test for loopback:

1To configure the port for testing, enter: config pos <ports> test

2To test the loopback, either internal or external, enter: test loopback <ports> <intext>
