Table 2-8. Running Windows Diagnostic Tests in the CLI

2–Configuring NIC NIC TroubleShooting/Diagnostics

For every test performed, the diagnostic utility shows the following data:

Total number of attempts

Number of successful completions

Number of failures

You can either perform all tests in succession, or perform only specific tests specified by the preceding command-line parameters.

You can run additional diagnostics in the CLI as listed in the following table. To determine the cna_port_inst, issue the qaucli -nic–icommand as shown in Table 2-8.

Table 2-8. Running Windows Diagnostic Tests in the CLI

Test Type

Command

 

 

External Loopback

qaucli -nic -extloopback <cna_port_inst>

 

<tests_num> <on_error>

 

Where <tests_num> specifies the number of tests,

 

1–65535, and <on_error> is either 0=Ignore or 1=Abort.

 

NOTE: This test requires a pass-through module to be con-

 

figured for both ports. Test runs between two ports. Single

 

port loopback is not supported.

 

 

Flash

qaucli –nic –testflash [cna_port_inst]

Hardware

qaucli –nic –testhw [cna_port_inst]

Internal Loopback

qaucli -nic -intloopback <cna_port_inst>

 

<tests_num> <on_error>

 

Where <tests_num> specifies the number of tests,

 

1–65535, and <on_error> is either 0=Ignore or 1=Abort.

Interrupt

qaucli –nic –testinterrupt [cna_port_inst]

Link

qaucli -nic -testlink [cna_port_inst]

Ping (IPv4)

qaucli -nic -ping <cna_port_inst>

 

<hostname_or_IPv4> [<count> <pocket_size>

 

<timeout_ms> <TTL>]

 

Where the default values are count=5,

 

pocket_size=525, timeout_ms=1000, and

 

TTL=30.

Register

qaucli -nic -testregister [cna_port_inst]

Transceiver DMI Data

qaucli -nic -trans [cna_port_inst]
