3.1.2.1. Loopback

To enable internal loopback turn on the Enable Internal Loopback parameter in the GUI. By default, the Disable Internal Loopback is selected which enables the external loopback mode.
  • Internal Loopback: This option loops back the TX serial data to the RX serial data. You can use this mode to isolate issues and determine whether the observed failures are internal to the chip or not.
  • External loopback: To test this loopback mode, you have to plug in a QSFP/OSFP/FMC loopback module. The IP sends test packets out of the Ethernet interface that loops over the plugged module and back to the interface.
