OUT-OF-BAND MANAGEMENT OF FIBER OPTICS SYSTEMS AND DEVICES |
摘要 |
A communication network including a master switch and one or more local switches is provided with a loop-back test device for in line loop-back testing. The local switches convey communication traffic between one another using one or more channels of a transmission medium and configuration information using an out-of-band channel of the transmission medium that is separate from the channels used to convey the communication traffic. The master switch includes an application that generates configuration information including loop-back connection information for configuring the out-of-band channel using at least one loop-back test device, transmits the generated configuration information to the loop-back test device using the out-of-band channel of the transmission medium, and conducts loop-back testing using the out-of-band channel. |
