Command Default

Remote loopback is not initiated on a remote device.

Parameters
ethernet stackid/slot/port

stop
Stops the remote loopback procedure on a remote device.

EFM-OAM protocol configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

The remote-loopback ethernet stackid/slot/port { start | stop } command is valid only on the Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) operating in the active mode.

When the remote loopback mode is enabled, all the non-OAMPDUs are looped back at the remote end.

A port ceases to be in the remote loopback mode if any event triggers a change in the port status (up or down).

If EEE is enabled globally, port ceases to be in the remote loopback mode.

Ethernet loopback and EFM-OAM remote loopback cannot be configured on the same interface.

Note: RUCKUS recommends you ensure that any higher layer protocol running over the local and remote loopback ports does not block the interfaces in the VLAN on which loopback traffic testing is being performed.

Examples

The following example initiates the remote loopback procedure on a remote DTE. 

device(config)# link-oam
device(config-link-oam)# remote-loopback ethernet 3/1/1 start

The following example stops the remote loopback procedure on a remote DTE. 

device(config)# link-oam
device(config-link-oam)# remote-loopback ethernet 3/1/1 stop
