Managing HyperFabric
Verifying Communications within the Fabric
The command parameters are as follows:
•node_name specifies the node you want to verify. This value is conditionally required—you must specify it when you are verifying traffic to a remote node, unless you use the -rparameter (described below).
•-cspecifies that you want to use the adapter identified by adapter_ID for the verification.
•-rspecifies that VRID switch_hopcount is the routing information for the adapter. To determine the VRID and switch_hopcount to specify, first run the clic_stat -d VRID command (see “The clic_stat Command” on page 117). Note that if you specify this parameter (-rVRID switch_hopcount), you must also specify the -cadapter_ID parameter (described above).
•-lspecifies that you want to do local loopback testing on a particular adapter. Note that if you specify this parameter (-l), you must also specify the -cadapter_ID parameter (described above).
•-sspecifies that you want to loopback at the switch port attached to a particular adapter. Note that if you specify this parameter (-s), you must also specify the -cadapter_ID parameter (described above).
•-pspecifies that you want to send packet_count number of 256-byte packets. packet_count can be any positive integer. This parameter is useful for building scripts for debugging or for hardware verification. If you do not specify this parameter, one packet is sent each second, until you stop the command with a CTRL-C.
•-?displays the online help for clic_probe.
If you do not specify any of the above parameters, the online help for clic_probe is displayed.
