Use the LOOP NODE command to test a specified node (other than the executor node) in the network. The parameters are optional and can be entered in any order. You can supply explicit access control information for the LOOP NODE command. To test the executor, use the LOOP EXECUTOR command. LOOP NODE node-id ACCOUNT account COUNT number LENGTH number PASSWORD password USER user-id WITH MIXED ONES ZEROS
1 – ACCOUNT
Identifies the user's account for access control verification for the designated node.
2 – COUNT
Specifies the number of blocks to be sent during loopback testing over the node. The count must be a decimal integer in the range of 1 through 65535. If the parameter is omitted, only one block is looped.
3 – LENGTH
Specifies the length (in bytes) of the blocks to be sent during loopback testing. The length must be a decimal integer in the range of 1 through 4096. If the parameter is omitted, a block length of 4096 bytes is used.
4 – PASSWORD
Identifies the user's password for access control verification for the designated node.
5 – USER
Specifies the user's identification for access control verification for the designated node.
6 – WITH
Specifies the type of binary information to be sent during testing. Three types of data can be sent: MIXED ONES ZEROS If omitted, a combination of ones and zeros (MIXED) is sent.
7 – Example
NCP>SET NODE TESTER CIRCUIT DMC-0 NCP>LOOP NODE TESTER . . . NCP>CLEAR NODE TESTER CIRCUIT The first command creates a loop node name (TESTER) for the associated circuit, the second command initiates a node-level loopback test with the loop node name, and the third command removes the loop node name from the volatile database when the loopback is completed.
