Test Facility
A Test Facility designed to test the router’s physical interfaces is built into all
AR 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 of your router’s Software Reference.
AR routers 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 90.
The Test Facility will not test AT-AR026 PICs.
The following examples show how to test specific interfaces.
Test results are displayed with the command:
SHOW TEST
which produces a display like that shown in Figure 35 on page 73.
