Performing a MAC Loopback
Agilent FrameScope 350 User’s Manual 43
Performing a MAC Loopback
You can perform a ping-like test on the media access control
(MAC) layer (Layer 2). Using two FrameScopes, you can get
results on the round-trip performance.
1 Connect two FrameScopes to the network. Connect one at
each end of the network circuit you want to test. See
“Connecting to the Network” on page 12.
2 On the local FrameScope, press the Tools button on the main
Network tab to display the Tools menu.
3 Press the MAC Loopback button to call the MAC Loopback
screen.
NOTE
This procedure requires two FrameScope 350s; one at each end of the
network circuit to be tested.
