Description You may test the connectivity of a link to the rest of the IMA group by sending a test
pattern over the link. This test pattern is looped over all the active links at the far end
and back to the transmitter. To display the connectivity test result, execute the
display interface ima-group command.
If no E1/T1 link is specified, the system sends the test pattern over the first link in the
IMA group by default. If no test pattern is specified, 0xAA applies by default.
