Abstract
A method for testing a network element that includes multiple ports includes assigning one or more of the ports to serve as input and output test ports. One or more of the ports other than the test ports are terminated with respective loopback connections. The network element is configured to forward packets entering the network element at the input test port, so as to cause the packets to be distributed among the terminated ports and to exit the network element, after re-entering the network element at one or more of the terminated ports, at the output test port.A first sequence of the packets is applied to the input test port, and a second sequence of the packets exiting the network element at the output test port is received. An operation of the network element is verified by evaluating the second sequence.
