Function name:
Loopback Test
Function description:
In the Loopback Test function, there are two different loopback tests. One is
Internal Loopback Test and the other is External Loopback Test. The former test
function will not send the test signal outside the switch box. The test signal only
wraps around in the switch box. As to the latter test function, it will send the test
signal to its link partner. If you do not have them connected to active network
devices, i.e. the ports are link down, the switch will report the port numbers
failed. If they all are ok, it just shows OK.
Note: Whatever you choose Internal Loopback Test or External Loopback Test,
these two functions will interfere with the normal system working, and all
packets in sending and receiving also will stop temporarily.
