Run a Loopback Test

The loopback test sends and receives messages, through a loopback or through an echo command, to the switch.

NOTE:

The loopback test is disabled if you are using the drivers from the OS installation.

NOTES:

Run an echo test instead of a loopback test under the following conditions:

„You have a QLA23xx, QLA24xx, QLE23xx, or QLE24xx HBA that is connected to the fabric through a point-to-point connection (F-port).

„The HBA is connected to a switch.

„Your operating system has one of the driver versions listed in Table 5-7.

Table 5-7lists the operating system driver versions that do not require a loopback connector.
