Note:
z
Currently, the S9500 series only support link fault detection.
z
If the receiving optical fiber of the local end is broken, only a 10 GE optical interface
reports the link signal loss.
z
The LSB1XK1 series cards and XP4B/CA-type cards do not support the OAM
unidirectional link events.
IV. Remote loopback testing
Remote loopback testing is available only after the OAM connection is established.
With remote loopback enabled, the OAM entity operating in active OAM mode issues
remote loopback requests and the peer responds to them. If the peer operates in the
loopback mode, it returns all the PDUs to the senders along the original paths.
Performing remote loopback testing periodically helps to detecting network faults in
time. Furthermore, performing remote loopback testing by network segments helps to
locate network faults.
Note:
Currently, on an S9500 series switch, you can perform remote loopback only on Gigabit
electrical interfaces.
