FIGURE5-14 Switch Diagnostics Dialog
To test a switch, do the following:
1. Open the faceplate display of the switch to be tested.
2. Open the Switch menu and select Switch Diagnostics, and select On line Switch
Diagnostics or Other Switch Diagnostics to open the Switch Diagnostics dialog.
3. Select the test type in the pull-down menu.
Caution – If you selected the Other Switch Diagnostics option, your test type
options are Offline and Connectivity. These tests will disrupt traffic. When you run
an offline or connectivity test, the switch will be put into diagnostics state for you,
and the switch will not be returned to its original state until the switch diagnostics
dialog is closed. A disruptive switch reset will be done at that time to return the
switch to its original state.
Caution – If you selected the Online Switch Diagnostics option to run the online
switch test and there are no ports with an active login at that time, the test will
return immediately with a Passed status.
