MLX300
Next Generation of Metro and Carrier Ethernet Testing
VeEX™ MLX300 Metro Loopback Expert is an intelligent 10GE loopback device developed as a perfect companion to VeEX 10GE testers. Loopback control can be performed in-band over the fiber interface or via the built-in 10/100Base-T Ethernet port via an Internet connection. Field interchangeable XFP transceivers support various wavelengths and power level requirements. Paired with the MX300/TX300 handheld tester, the MLX300 is the industry’s most cost-effective solution for point-to-point Service Level Agreement (SLA) verification and end-to-end performance testing.

Loopback Modes
- Layer 1, Layer 2, Layer 3, and Layer 4 modes are available for looping back test traffic
- Layer 1: loops back all incoming traffic
- Layer 2: all incoming unicast traffic is looped back with MAC source and destination addresses swapped
- Layer 3: all incoming unicast traffic is looped back with MAC and IP source and destination addresses swapped
- Layer 4: all incoming unicast traffic is looped back with MAC, IP, and UDP/TCP ports swapped
