Performing External Loopback Tests
You can run manual loopback tests to identify hardware errors in the data path in the switching or
services modules, and the control path in the supervisor modules. External loopback tests send and
receive FC2 frames to/from the same port or between two ports.
You need to connect a cable (or a plug) to loop the Rx port to the Tx port before running the test. If you
are testing to/from the same port, you need a special loop cable. If you are testing to/from different ports,
you can use a regular cable. This test is only available for Fibre Channel interfaces.
Use the EXEC-level
system health external-loopback interface
interface
command to run this test on
demand for external devices connected to a switch that is part of a long-haul network.
switch#
system health external-loopback interface fc 3/1
This will shut the requested interfaces Do you want to continue (y/n)? [n]
y
External loopback test on interface fc3/1 was successful.

Use the EXEC-level
system health external-loopback source
interface
destination interface
interface
command to run this test on demand between two ports on the switch.
switch#
system health external-loopback source interface fc 3/1 destination interface fc
3/2
This will shut the requested interfaces Do you want to continue (y/n)? [n]
y
External loopback test on interface fc3/1 and interface fc3/2 was successful.

Use the EXEC-level
system health external-loopback
interface
frame-count
command to run this test
on demand for external devices connected to a switch that is part of a long-haul network and override
the frame count configured on the switch.
switch#
system health external-loopback interface fc 3/1 frame-count 10
This will shut the requested interfaces Do you want to continue (y/n)? [n]
y
External loopback test on interface fc3/1 was successful.

Use the EXEC-level
system health external-loopback
interface
frame-length
command to run this test
on demand for external devices connected to a switch that is part of a long-haul network and override
the frame length configured on the switch.
switch#
system health external-loopback interface fc 3/1 frame-length 64
This will shut the requested interfaces Do you want to continue (y/n)? [n]
y
External loopback test on interface fc3/1 was successful.

Use the
system health external-loopback
interface
force
command to shut down the required interface
directly without a back out confirmation.
switch#
system health external-loopback interface fc 3/1 force
External loopback test on interface fc3/1 was successful.

Note
If the test fails to complete successfully, the software analyzes the failure and prints the following error:
External loopback test on interface fc 7/2 failed. Failure reason: Failed to loopback,
analysis complete Failed device ID 3 on module 1
