Verifying Communications within the Fabric

Example 3

If the local node is bently6, and you want to send five packets to verify communications with the remote node bently7, using the adapter clic0 (which is on bently6), issue this command:

clic_probe bently7 -c clic0 -p 5

CLIC_PROBE: 256 byte packets

Source adapter id: bently6.corp3.com:clic0

Target adapter id: bently7.corp4.com:clic1

256 bytes: seq_num = 1. Packet Acknowledged.

256 bytes: seq_num = 2. Packet Acknowledged.

256 bytes: seq_num = 3. Packet Acknowledged.

256 bytes: seq_num = 4. Packet Acknowledged.

256 bytes: seq_num = 5. Packet Acknowledged.

--------- bently7.corp4.com CLIC_PROBE Statistics --------

5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received, 0% packet loss.

Example 4

If the local node is bently6, and you want to send five packets to verify communications with the remote node bently7, using the adapter clic0 (which is on bently6) and the route identified by VRID 194 and switch hopcount 1, issue this command:

clic_probe -c clic0 -r 194 1 -p 5

(Remember, because you specified the -rVRID switch_hopcount parameter, you do not need to also specify the node_name.)

The generated output could look like this:

CLIC_PROBE: 256 byte packets sent

Source adapter id: bently6.corp3.com:clic0

Target adapter id: bently7.corp4.com:clic1

256 bytes: seq_num = 1. Packet Acknowledged.

256 bytes: seq_num = 2. Packet Acknowledged.

256 bytes: seq_num = 3. Packet Acknowledged.

256 bytes: seq_num = 4. Packet Acknowledged.

256 bytes: seq_num = 5. Packet Acknowledged.

--------- bently7.corp4.com CLIC_PROBE Statistics --------

5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received, 0% packet loss.

Note that the VRID you specified (194) actually went to the adapter clic1 on bently7. And, as explained earlier, you run the clic_stat -d VRID command to determine the VRID and switch hopcount to specify.
