Configuring the Diagnostic Test Environment

The testcfg command allows the user to tailor diagnostic testing characteristics per slot
module. To configure diagnostic tests for a switching module, enter the testcfg command
followed by the slot number for the module. The slot number is an integer ranging from 1 to
the number of slots in the chassis (3 for 3-slot Omni Switch/Routers; 5 for 5-slot Omni
Switch/Routers and 9 for 9-slot Omni Switch/Routers).
The testcfg command allows the user to bypass testing individual slots when running the test
all command. In addition, the testcfg command allows the user to configure the port speed
and port mode for applicable Ethernet modules for tailoring of individual slots during diag-
nostic testing.
No default value is set and input must be provided at the time of entering the command. For
example, to configure applicable diagnostic tests for the switching module in slot 4, enter:
testcfg 4
at the system prompt. The following is a typical example.
Test Configuration for slot 4
1) Skip this slot during test { No (1),
Yes (2) } : No
Enter (option=value/save/cancel) :
Note that for all switching modules other than modules, the Skip this slot during test option is
the only available one. See Configuring Tests for Ethernet Modules on page 36-17 for informa-
tion on using the testcfg command with Ethernet modules.
Skip this slot during test. Allows the user to select to bypass this slot when the test all command
is issued. The default is No. If you want the test all command to skip this module, enter
1=2
The following will then be displayed.
Test Configuration for slot 4
1) Skip this slot during test { No (1),
Yes (2) } : Yes
Enter (option=value/save/cancel) :
Enter save if you want to make this change. If you enter save, the change will be made and
the following will be displayed.
