Verifying Communications within the Fabric

•-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.

If you do not specify any of the above parameters, the online help for clic_probe is displayed.

NOTE Also see the clic_diag command to:

The clic_diag command is detailed in the Running Diagnostics section of Chapter 6, Troubleshooting.

Examples of clic_probe

Some examples of using clic_probe are shown below.

•Example 1

If the local node is bently6 and you want to send five packets to verify that the adapter clic0 (which is on bently6) is able to handle traffic, issue this command:

clic_probe -l -c clic0 -p 5

The generated output could look like this:

CLIC_PROBE: 256 byte packets

Local Loopback: Source and Target Adapter ID: bently6.corp3.com:clic0

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.
---------		bently6.corp3.com CLIC_PROBE Statistics --------
5 packets transmitted, 5			packets received, 0% packet loss.

•Example 2

If the local node is bently6, and you want to verify communications with the remote node bently4, issue this command:
