If successful, the Down Connection window appears.
7.6.3 Loopback a Connection
You can test a connection by creating a loopback on the connection. All types of connections in
Cisco MGM support loopback. An SPVC connection is used as an example.
Note Before you can down a connection, ensure that the connection is up first.
To loopback an SPVC connection:
Step 1 In the Configuration Center, click the Connections tab to display the Connections Hierarchy pane. Select
the NE, and double-click, or drag and drop the NE into the right-hand pane to display the New
Connection details.
Step 2 Click the Connection List tab.
Step 3 Click More Filters to display the Filter Settings window.
Step 4 Choose the filter settings from the Filter Settings window. For example, check both the Status check
box and the OK check box if you want to retrieve only active connections.
Step 5 Click OK to apply the filter settings.
Step 6 Enter the number of connections that you want to retrieve in the Connection Count to be retrieved
field. To retrieve all the connections, enter *.
Step 7 Click Get to retrieve the connections. For example, you can retrieve connections for both local and
remote endpoints.
The Connection Browser window appears with the number of connections matching the filtering criteria.
A list of connections that have either local or remote endpoints are displayed in the connection list.
Step 8 Click the Miscellaneous Operations tab to display the Miscellaneous Operation window.
Step 9 Click the Loopback Connection radio button.
Step 10 Click Start Operation to up the connection.
If successful, the Loopback Connection window appears.
Step 11 Click Abort Operation to stop the operation.
