MetroScope™ Service Provider Assistant

802.3ah Support
|
 |
Devices that support the 802.3ah protocol can be used as loopbacks for layer 1 testing with MetroScope. This allows you to test Ethernet links using ProVision, RFC 2544 or the traffic generator without connecting an additional device such as a second MetroScope or LinkRunner Reflector to the far end of the link. The MetroScope acts as the Active OAM client performing remote device discovery, determining their capabilities, and sustaining an OAM session with just a few screen touches. MetroScope keeps the link with the remote device during a Loopback session until the “Loop Down” command is sent and the client session is “Stopped”.
