A – Command Line Interface Test Command

Test Command

Tests ports using internal (SerDes level), external (transceiver), and online loopback tests. Internal and external tests require that the port be placed in diagnostic mode. Refer to the ”Set Command” on page A-61for information about changing the port administrative state. While the test is running, the remaining ports on the switch remain fully operational.

status

Keywords port [port_number] [test_type]

Tests the port given by [port_number] using the test given by [test_type]. If you omit [test_type], Internal is used. [test_type] can have the following values:

internal

Tests the SerDes for all port speeds independent of the capabilities of the transceiver. This is the default. The port must be in diagnostics mode to perform this test.

NOTE: An internal test on a 10-Gbps port verifies that a complete path exists, but does not send a test frame.

external

Tests both the SerDes and transceiver for all port speeds that are supported by the transceiver. The port must be in diagnostics mode to perform this test, and a loopback plug must be installed in the transceiver.

NOTE: An external test on a 10-Gbps port verifies that a complete path exists, but does not send a test frame.

online

Tests communications between the port and its device node or device loop at the operating port speed. The port being tested must be online and connected to a remote device. The port passes if the test frame that was sent by the ASIC matches the frame that is received. This test does not disrupt communication on the port.
