Before executing data loopback, a 10G Ethernet traffic generator must be connected to the
SmartSFP+ as shown in the following figure.Figure 6-9. Loopback Setup
Note: In this example, Paragon-X
Tester was used for generating 10G Ethernet packets and validating the design. Use
an equivalent 10G Ethernet packet generator.
Follow these steps to use the GUI for executing the data loopback:
Click the mode switch button to
enable the Data Loopback mode. When the Loop mode is selected all the controls
related to the IAP mode are disabled and greyed out. See the following
figure.Figure 6-10. Switch From IAP to
Loop Mode
Once the Data Loopback mode is enabled, the 10G Ethernet packets are
looped back from the SmartSFP+ module to the Traffic generator.
