ethernet-oam remote-loopback start|stop interface

The ethernet-oam remote-loopback start interface command starts EFM OAM remote loopback tests on the specific port. The EFM OAM remote loopback control OAMPDU will be sent to the peering device to trigger a remote loopback.

The ethernet-oam remote-loopback stop interface command stops EFM OAM remote loopback tests on the specific port. The EFM OAM remote loopback control OAMPDU will be sent to the peering device to stop a remote loopback.The set protocols dot1x interface authentication-open disable command enables

Command Syntax

ethernet-oam remote-loopback start interface <interface-name>

ethernet-oam remote-loopback stop interface <interface-name>

Parameter

Usage Guidelines

When configuring this command, pay attention to the following notes:

• The commands ethernet-oam remote-loopback start interface and ethernet-oam remote-loopback stop interface are operational mode commands which should be executed under the prompt “admin@PICOS>”.

• Only the active mode end can run these two commands to start or stop EFM OAM remote loopback tests.

• Before starting the EFM OAM remote loopback tests, make sure:

  • The EFM OAM connection has been established successfully.

  • Users have to configure command set protocols ethernet-oam interface <interface-name> remote-loopback supported on the responding end to enable reactions to loopback control OAMPDUs from peers.

• EFM OAM remote loopback tests will fail if above conditions are not met. After all of the conditions are met, you need to execute the command ethernet-oam remote-loopback start interface <interface-name> again to start EFM OAM remote loopback tests again.

• When remote loopback function is implemented, the interface no longer participates in any other Layer 2 or Layer 3 protocols.

• When the remote loopback test is completed, you should use the command ethernet-oam remote-loopback stop interface to disable EFM OAM remote loopback tests on the port.

• It is not allowed to modify the EFM OAM mode when remote loopback function is implementing.

• The device sends a Loopback Control OAMPDU to the peer when run command ethernet-oam remote-loopback start interface <interface-name> or ethernet-oam remote-loopback stop interface <interface-name>.

Example

• Start EFM OAM remote loopback tests on the specific port.

• Stop EFM OAM remote loopback tests on the specific port.
