The MLX300 is an intelligent 10GE loopback device that is the perfect companion to the MX300 10GE test set. Loopback control can be performed in-band or via the built-in 10/100baseT Ethernet port via an internet connection. The MLX300 paired with the MX300 handheld tester, is the industrys most cost effective solution for point to point Service Level Agreement (SLA) verification and end-to-end performance testing.

Loopback Modes
Two modes are available for looping back test traffic; layer 2, and layer 3 mode.For layer 2, all incoming unicast traffic is looped back with the MAC source and destination addresses swapped. For layer 3, all incoming unicast traffic is looped back with MAC and IP source
and destination addresses swapped.

The optional loopback-ready boot-up profile, allows for fast and easy setup of the MLX300 to begin testing as soon as the device is powered on. This convenient feature can be easily configured with the accompanying PC software, Reveal MLX.
