Fabric OS Commands
780 Fabric OS Version 3.1.x/4.1.x Reference Guide
-nmegs count
(V4.1.x only)
Specify the number of million frames to send. The test will
progress until the specified number of frames has been
transmitted on each port. The default value for nmill is 10,
so the number of frames sent will be at least 10 million.
-gbic_mode mode
(V4.1.x only)
Specify the GBIC mode for the test. The -gbic_mode
parameter may be used to override the global GBIC mode
described above for the duration of this test. When it is
enabled (1) testing is limited to user ports with GBICs or
SFPs installed.
-lb_mode mode
(V4.1.x only)
Specify the loopback point for the test. By default,
spinsilk uses loopback plugs as described above.
However for debug purposes you can select other
loopback modes as follows:
0: Cable Loopback.
1: Port Loopback (loopback plugs).
2: External (SERDES) loopback.
3: Silkscreen loopback.
4: Serial link wrapback.
5: Internal (parallel) loopback.
-spd_mode mode
(V4.1.x only)
Specify the speed mode for the test. For 1 Gbit/sec only
products it is ignored. The exact operation of modes 3
through 6 depends upon the loopback mode selected.
When speed modes 3 through 6 are used with cables,
they must be connected EVEN to ODD or the test will fail.
■ 0: set all ports' speed for auto-negotiate.
■ 1: set all ports' speed to lock at 1 Gbit/sec.
■ 2: set all port's speed to lock at 2 Gbit/sec.
For lb_Mode == 0,1 the following speed modes are
available to test the speed negotiation:
■ 3: set all even ports' speed for auto-negotiate, set all
odd ports' speed for 1 Gbit/sec.
■ 4: set all even ports' speed for auto-negotiate, set all
odd ports' speed for 2 Gbit/sec.
■ 5: set all odd ports' speed for auto-negotiate, set all
even ports' speed for 1 Gbit/sec.
■ 6: set all odd ports' speed for auto-negotiate, set all
even ports' speed for 2 Gbit/sec.
