To run an internal loopback test, type the following command: test x internal

To run an external loopback test, type the following command. A loopback plug must be installed for this test to pass.

NOTE

The external loopback test can be performed only on external switch module ports.

After the test type has been chosen and the command executed, a message on the screen will appear detailing the test results.

5.After the test is run, put the port back into online state by typing the following command (x = port number):

set port x state online

6.To verify the port is back online, type the following command. The contents of the AdminState field should be Online.

The online node-to-node test can test only one port at a time, and that port must be online and connected to an external device or a blade server Fibre Channel expansion card. To run the online node-to-node test, complete the following steps:

1.To start an admin session, type the following command: admin start

2.To run the online node-to-node test, type the following command: test x online

The TestLength parameter is the number of frames sent, the FrameSize (256 byte maximum in some cases) parameter is the number of bytes in each frame, and the DataPattern parameter is the pattern in the payload. Before running the test, make sure that the device attached to the port can handle the test parameters.
