Testing ATM Connections in the Ingress Direction

The tstdelay command checks to see if the switch can communicate with both ends of the connection in

the ingress direction, and it returns a measurement of the delay across the connection. To test the ingress

direction of an ATM connection, enter the tstdelay command as follows:

tstdelay <ifNum> <vpi> <vci> [-num <iterations>]

Replace <ifNum> with the number of the interface whose connection you want to test. Replace <vpi>

with the VPI of the connection you want to test. Replace <VCI> with the VCI of the connection you want

to test. If you want to specify the number of times a collection of supervisory cells should traverse the

connection, enter the optional -num keyword, followed by the number of consecutive times you want to

run the test on the specified connection. You can run a test up to 10 times for a single execution of the

tstdelay command.

Note If you do not specify the -num <iterations> option, the test will run one time only.

Note Enter the dspcons command to obtain the interface number, VPI, and VCI of a connection.

In the following example, the user runs five consecutive tests in the ingress direction on the connection

on port 1, VPI 101, VCI 101.
