Figure 22. Port Loopback Test window

NOTE

The internal SerDes and external SFP level tests disrupt communication on the selected port. The online node-to-node level test does not disrupt communication, because it requires that the port is online.

Complete the following steps to run the internal, external, or online port loopback test on an external port:

1.In Faceplate window, select the external port to be tested.

2.Click Port / Port Loopback Test. The Port Loopback Test window opens.

3.In the test selection pane, select the type of loopback test (internal, external, or online) to be run. If you want to run the internal or external test, the SAN Utility prompts you to confirm that the port state needs to be changed to the diagnostic state. Click OK. The SAN Utility changes the port state.

4.Type the frame count, frame size, and select a test pattern. You can use the default pattern or type an 8- digit pattern (hexadecimal). For online tests, click the Terminate Test Upon Error check box if you want the test to stop when encountering an error.

5.Click Start Test to begin the test. The test results pane displays the test status, number of frames sent, and number of errors found.

Fibre Channel switch module monitoring using SNMP

This section describes SNMP configuration and trap parameters. The switch module SNMP agent enables external network management monitoring and notification of switch module status.

SNMP configuration

SNMP configuration defines how authentication traps are managed. Table 34 describes the SNMP configuration parameters.
