From JAshton at 365datacenters.com Wed May 22 11:19:25 2024 From: JAshton at 365datacenters.com (James Ashton) Date: Wed, 22 May 2024 15:19:25 +0000 Subject: [f-nsp] External facing loop Message-ID: All, I have a small number of MLXe routers. I need to do some RFC-2544 and maybe Y.1564 testing against a few. I need to set up an external facing loop on some interfaces for this. I see the interface loopback system command, but don't find that documented well anywhere. Not sure if that will meet my need, or if that is an internal facing loop. How are you handling this?

I did a bunch of interop with this for a provider several years ago. They needs to have this setup in oam global config, but we had some issues in this. LLM worked at the vlan level though. What test set are you using to send the OAM frames to the port on the MLX? -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voice http://bryanfields.net
