36 AR400 Series Router
C613-03086-00 REV A
Test Facility
A Test Facility designed to test the router’s physical interfaces and expansion
options is built into the router software. The Test Facility can be thought of as a
specialised interface module like PPP or Frame Relay. Although the router can
continue to operate normally during specific tests, any interfaces being tested
are dedicated to the Test Facility. For more information on the Test Facility’s
operation, see the Test Facility chapter, Software Reference.
Do not connect to the router via a port you are testing.
The routers and PICs support a wide range of interface types, including
Ethernet, asynchronous, synchronous, Basic Rate ISDN and Primary Rate
ISDN. Each interface type (except Ethernet interfaces on the AT-AR026 PIC)
can be tested independently using the Test Facility software. Most tests,
however, will also require the use of a loopback plug. For more information on
loopback plugs, see “Loopback plugs for testing interfaces” on page -34.
The Test Facility does not test AT-AR026 PICs.
The following examples show how to test specific interfaces.
To display test results, use the command:
show test
The following figure shows sample output from this command.
