Use Loopback Testing for Channelized OC12 Interfaces

This chapter describes using loopback testing to isolate Channelized OC12 and Channelized OC12 IQ interface problems. The procedure for both types of Channelized OC12 interfaces is the same. The naming convention for the Channelized OC12 IQ interface varies depending on the type of interface. For a list of interface types associated with the Channelized OC12 IQ interface, see the Junos OS Network Interfaces Configuration Guide.
