5.5.3 VeriPHY

This section describes how to run the VeriPHY Cable Diagnostics. Press to run the diagnostics. It takes approximately five seconds to run. If all ports are selected, it can take approximately 15 seconds. When completed, the page refreshes automatically, and you can view the cable diagnostics results in the cable status table. Note that VeriPHY is only accurate for cables of lengths between 30" and 459" (7–140 meters).

10- and 100-Mbps ports will be linked down while running VeriPHY. Therefore, running VeriPHY on a 10- or 100-Mbps management port will cause the switch to stop responding until VeriPHY is complete.
