Chapter 1 General Troubleshooting
Identify Points of Failure on an OC-N Circuit Path
g. Click the Yes button in the Confirmation Dialog box.
Note It is normal for a LPBKFACILITY condition to appear during loopback setup. The condition
clears when you remove the loopback.
Step 5 Proceed to the “Test the Facility Loopback Circuit” procedure on page 1-31.
Procedure: Test the Facility Loopback Circuit
Step 1 If the test set is not already sending traffic, send test traffic on the loopback circuit.
Step 2 Examine the traffic received by the test set. Look for errors or any other signal information that the test
set is capable of indicating.
Step 3 If the test set indicates a good circuit, no further testing is necessary with the facility loopback:
a. Clear the facility loopback:
• Click the Maintenance > Loopback tabs.
• Choose None from the Loopback Type column for the port being tested.
• Choose the appropriate state (IS, OOS, or OOS_AINS) from the State column for the port being
tested.
• Click the Apply button.
• Click the Yes button in the confirmation dialog box.
b. Clear the facility loopback circuit:
• Click the Circuits tab.
• Choose the loopback circuit being tested.
• Click the Delete button.
• Click the Yes button in the Delete Circuits dialog box.
c. Proceed to the “1.3.7 Perform a Terminal Loopback on a Destination Node OC-N Port” section on
page 1-38.
Step 4 If the test set indicates a faulty circuit, the problem might be a faulty OC-N card.
Step 5 Proceed to the “Test the OC-N Card” procedure on page 1-37.
Procedure: Test the OC-N Card
Step 1 Replace the suspect card with a card known to be good. See the “Physically Replace a Card” procedure
on page 2-130 for details.
Step 2 Resend test traffic on the loopback circuit with a good card installed.
Step 3 If the test set indicates a good circuit, the problem is probably the defective card:
a. Return the defective card to Cisco through the returned materials authorization (RMA) process.
