• Result – Shows the loop back status on the peer. The loop back states shown in this field are
described below.
• Packets Transmitted – The number of loop back frames transmitted during the last
loopback test on this interface.
• Packets Received – The number of loop back frames received during the last loopback
test on this interface.
• Loss Rate – The percentage of packets for which there was no response.
Interface
To initiate a loop back test to the peer device attached to the selected port:
1. Click Administration, OAM, Remote Loop Back.
2. Select Remote Loopback Test from the Action list.

TABLE 179 Remote Loopback Status
State Description
No Loopback Operating in normal mode with no loopback in progress.
Initiating Loopback The local OAM entity is starting the loopback process with its peer. It has yet to
receive any acknowledgement that the remote OAM entity has received its
loopback command request.
Remote Loopback The local OAM client knows that the remote OAM entity is in loopback mode.
Terminating Loopback The local OAM client is in the process of terminating the remote loopback.
Local Loopback The remote OAM client has put the local OAM entity in loopback mode.
Unknown This status may be returned if the OAM loopback is in a transition state but
should not persist.
