Using the SunVTS xnetlbtest

The xnetlbtest provides functional test coverage of the network products based on Neptune Ethernet chip/core. Refer to the SunVTS 6.4 Test Reference Manual for SPARC Platforms, for complete xnetlbltest information.

xnetlbtest Test Requirements

The NEM has an internal loopback path built in. You do not need an loopback connector. You must have the Ethernet card (the FEM) and the device driver installed. Intervention mode is enabled before running xnetlbtest. xnetlbtest cannot run and does not appear in the GUI if the network interface is connected to a live network. xnetlbtest also requires that the Ethernet device be configured offline before running the test. Use the ifconfig(1M) command to bring the Ethernet device down before running xnetlbtest. Enter the following commands to bring the interface down:

#ifconfig nxge0 down

#ifconfig nxge0 unplumb

Where nxge0 is the 10GbE port on your server module.
