58 AR700 Series Router

Test Facility
A Test Facility designed to test the router’s physical interfaces is built into all
the router software. The Test Facility can be thought of as a specialised
interface module like PPP or Frame Relay. Although the router can continue to
operate normally during specific tests, any interfaces being tested are
dedicated to the Test Facility. For more information on the Test Facility’s
operation, see the Test Facility chapter of the Software Reference.
The routers support a wide range of interface types, including Ethernet,
asynchronous, synchronous, Basic Rate ISDN and Primary Rate ISDN.
interface types (except Ethernet interfaces on the AT-AR026 PIC) can be tested
independently using the Test Facility software. Most tests, however, will also
require the use of a loopback plug. For more information on loopback plugs,
see “Loopback Plugs for Testing Interfaces” on page 56.
AR026 PIC The Test Facility does not test Ethernet interfaces on AT-AR026
PICs.
The following examples show how to test specific interfaces.
To display test results use the command:
show test
which produces a display like that shown in Figure 34.
Test failure If a test fails, please contact your authorised Allied Telesis
distributor or reseller.
