Telnet Commands
cmiTest
Test the quad connections between two ASIC connections.
Syntax cmitest [-passcnt passcnt][-txport list][-rxport
list][-skip mask]
Availability Admin
Description Use this command to verify that the multiplexed four-bit Control
Message Interface (CMI) point-to-point connection between two
ASICs is functioning properly. Also use it to verify that a message
with a bad checksum sets the error and interrupt status bits of the
destination ASIC and that a message with a goo d checksum does not
set an error or interrupt bit in any ASIC.
The Control Message Interface (CMI) is used to send transmission
requests or completion messages between the transmitter and
receiver.
Use the setslot command to define the default slot.
Operands This command has the following operand:
Example To run a CMI test betweento ASICs:
switch:admin> cmiTest
Running CMI Test .............. passed.
-passcnt passcnt Specify the number of times to execute this
test. The default value is 1. This operand is
optional.
-txports list Specify the port number(s) to transmit data.
The default is all ports are set. This operand is
optional.
-rxports list Specify the port number(s) to receive data. The
default is all ports are set. This operand is
optional.
-skip mask Specify the particular test by using the
following bit weight data:
•1 CMI data test(ignore checksum)
•2 CMI checksum test
•3 Enable all tests
This operand is optional.
