Remote Loopback - Dell Force10 C150 Configuration Manual

Remote Loopback

An active-mode device can place a passive peer into loopback mode by sending a Loopback Control
OAMPDU. When in loopback mode:
• the remote peer returns unaltered all non-OAMPDU frames sent by the local peer, and
• all outbound data frames are discarded.
Note: Control traffic egresses from loopback initiator and from interface in loopback mode. You must
explicitly disable L2/L3 protocols to stop control traffic.
Task
Enable support for the OAM loopback
capability on an interface so that it can
exchange information with a remote peer.
Configure the maximum amount of time
the local peer waits for a frame to be
returned before considering the remote
peer to be non-operational.
Start or stop loopback operation on a local
interface with a remote peer.
