Perform Loopback Test for Fast and Gigabit Ethernet ...
Display the status of the Fast and Gigabit Ethernet Interface to provide the information you need to determine whether the physical link is up or down.
Please visit our website for more information on this topic.
Action
To verify that the status of the Fast and Gigabit Ethernet Interface is up, use the following
Junos OS command-line interface (CLI) operational mode command:
user@host> show interfaces (fe-
fpc/port|ge-fpc/pic/port)

Meaning
The sample output shows that the link is up and there are no
alarms in this loopback configuration. When an internal loopback is
configured, the physical loopback should come up without an alarm.
Sample Output
When you see that the physical link is down, there may be a
problem with the port. The following output is an example of the show
interfaces fe-fpc/pic/port command when the physical link is down:
user@router> show interfaces fe-1/3/0
Physical interface: fe-1/3/0, Enabled, Physical link is Down

Performing a loopback test on an Ethernet interface
Performing a loopback test on an Ethernet interface
If an Ethernet interface does not work correctly, you can perform a loopback test on it to identify the problem. An Ethernet interface in a loopback test does not forward data traffic.
Loopback tests include the following types:
Internal loopback test&#;Tests all on-chip functions related to Ethernet interfaces.
External loopback test&#;Tests the hardware of Ethernet interfaces. To perform an external loopback test on an Ethernet interface, connect a loopback plug to the Ethernet interface. The device sends test packets out of the interface, which are expected to loop over the plug and back to the interface. If the interface fails to receive any test packets, the hardware of the interface is faulty.
Configuration restrictions and guidelines
When you perform a loopback test on an Ethernet interface, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
On an administratively shut down interface (displayed as in ADM or Administratively DOWN state), you cannot perform an internal or external loopback test.
The speed, duplex, mdix-mode, and shutdown commands are not available during a loopback test.
