Checking the Configuration
Figure 4-1 shows the data flow for three loopback configuration paths, including no loopback.
Figure 4-1 DS3 Loopback Paths
loopback network payload Sets the interface into network payload
loopback mode. Network payload
loopback loops just the payload data back
toward the network at the T3 framer. Router(config)# interface serial 2/0
Router(config-if)# loopback network
payload
loopback remote 1 Sets the interface into remote loopback
mode. Remote loopback loops the data
back toward the network (before the
framer at the remote T3 device). Router(config)# interface serial 2/0
Router(config-if)# loopback remote
loopback dte Sets the interface into loopback data
terminal equipment (DTE). Loopback
DTE loops the router output data back
toward the router (after the LIU). Router(config)# interface serial 2/0
Router(config-if)# loopback dte
1. Remote loopback mode works with C-bit framing only. The other loopback modes listed above work with C-bit and M23 framing. Refer to the
“Specifying T3 Framing” section on page 4-9 for information on configuring C-bit framing.
