4.7.2 SAM Flow Testing, Service Assurance Module
The Service Assurance Module provides the FCM9002 with a highly flexible,
multi stream traffic generation, and Layer 2 ( DA/SA swap ) and Layer 3 ( IP
DA/SA swap ) loopback functions.
By default, the FCM9002 has the loopback function enabled and will loopback
test packets sent to the user defined loopback MAC address.
From factory default, the SAM test menu is as below:
