• “efm oam remote-loopback” on page 567
• “efm oam remote-loopback test” on page 568
Command Usage
• You can use this command to perform an OAM remote loop back test on the specified port. The
port that you specify to run this test must be connected to a peer OAM device capable of
entering into OAM remote loop back mode.
• During a remote loop back test, the remote OAM entity loops back every frame except for
OAMPDUs and pause frames.
• OAM remote loopback can be used for fault localization and link performance testing.
Statistics from both the local and remote DTE can be queried and compared at any time during
loop back testing.
• To perform a loopback test, first enable Remote Loop Back Mode, click Test, and then click
End. The number of packets transmitted and received will be displayed.
