Cable Test
Use the Cable Test screen to display information about the cables connected to switch ports.
To display the cable test screen:
1. Select Monitoring > Ports > Cable Test.
2.Select whether to display physical interfaces, link aggregation groups (LAGs), or both by clicking one of the following links above the table heading:
•1. Only physical interfaces are displayed. This is the default setting.
•All. Both physical interfaces and link aggregation groups are displayed.
To locate an interface quickly, type the interface number (for example, xg12) in the Go To Interface field at the top or bottom of the table and click Go.
3.Click Apply to perform a cable test on the selected interface.
The cable test can take up to 2 seconds to complete. If the port has an active link then the link is not taken down and the cable status is always 'Normal'. The command returns a cable length estimate if this feature is supported by the PHY for the current link speed. Note that if the link is down and a cable is attached to a 10/100 Ethernet adapter then the cable status can be Open or Short because some Ethernet adapters leave unused wire pairs unterminated or grounded.
