spinSilk
779Fabric OS Version 3.1.x/4.1.x Reference Guide
GBIC/SFP Mode (sfpmode): V4.1.x
If the spinSilk command is executed with GBIC mode activated, only ports
containing GBICs are tested. To activate GBIC mode, execute the following
command prior to executing the spinSilk command:
switch:admin> setsfpmode 1
The state of the SFP mode is saved in non-volatile memory and remains active
over a reboot until it is disabled as follows:
switch:admin> setsfpmode 0
Prior to running this command make sure you disable the switch, set the GBIC
mode to 1, and install loopback cables on all GBIC ports you want to test.
Because this test includes the GBIC
s and the fiber cable in its test path, use the
results from this test in conjunction with the results from crossporttest
and portloopbacktest can be used to determine those switch components
that are not functioning properly.
Operands
This command has the following operands:
nmillionframes
(V3.1.x only)
Specify a number of times, representing a million frames
per port, to execute this test. If omitted, the default value
used is 0xfffffffe (or almost infinite for practical purposes)
as passcount.
sfpmode
(V3.1.x only)
Specify 1 to enable SFP mode for the test. The SFP mode
parameter may be used to override the global SFP mode
setting for the duration of this test. When it is enabled,
testing is limited to user ports with SFPs installed.
lbmode
(V3.1.x only)
Specify the loopback mode for the test. Valid values are:
0 cabled loopback Port M<->N only (default)
1 cabled loopback Port M->M & M<->N allowed
3 external silkscreen loopback (no retry)
Any other value selects internal loopback.
spdmode
(V3.1.x only)
Specify the speed at which the test is run:
0 set port speed for auto-negotiate.
1 set port speed to lock at 1 Gbit/sec.
2 set port speed to lock at 2 Gbit/sec.
