3. Create a frame F of data size (1024 bytes).
4. Transmit frame F via port M, with D_ID to the FL port (ALPA = 0).
5. Pick up the frame from port M, the FL port.
6. Check if any of the 8 statistic error counters are non-zero:
ENC_in, CRC_err, TruncFrm, FrmTooLong, BadEOF, Enc_out,
BadOrdSet, DiscC3.
7. Check if the transmit, receive or class 3 receiver counters are stuck at some
value.
8. Check if the number of frames transmitted is not equal to the number of
frames received.
9. Repeat step 3 through step 8 for all ports present until:
a. The number of frames requested is reached.
b. All ports are marked bad.
You can specify a payload pattern to be used when executing this test. If the
pattern is not user specified, then at every 30 pass, a different data type from a
palette of seven is used to generate different data pattern to create the frame. The
data pattern will be generated based on each data type. Some data types may
generate different data pattern on every pass, and other data type may not change
the data pattern in every pass. These seven data types will be repeated every 210
pass. The data palette is as follows:
1) CSPAT: 0x7e, 0x7e, 0x7e, 0x7e,...
2) BYTE_LFSR: 0x69, 0x01, 0x02, 0x05,...
3) CHALF_SQ: 0x4a, 0x4a, 0x4a, 0x4a,...
4) QUAD_NOT: 0x00, 0xff, 0x00, 0xff,...
5) CQTR_SQ: 0x78, 0x78, 0x78, 0x78,...
6) CRPAT: 0xbc, 0xbc, 0x23, 0x47,...
7) RANDOM: 0x25, 0x7f, 0x6e, 0x9a,...
Operands
This command has the following operands:
passcount
(V3.1.x only)
Specify the number of times (or number of frames per
port) to execute this test. If omitted, the default value
used is 0xfffffffe (or almost infinite for practical
purposes) as passCount.
port_number
(V3.1.x only)
Specify the port to run to test on. If omitted, the test will
be executed on all online L-ports
