Nettest is the generic network device exerciser. It can test network devices in
internal, external, or live network loopback mode. The test works with ports
supporting MOP protocol. Related environment variables can be set from the
console to customize nettest before nettest is started.
You can change other network driver characteristics by modifying the port
mode. See the -mode option.
Use the show_status display to determine the process ID when terminating an
individual diagnostic test. Use the kill or kill_diags command to terminate
tests.
Syntax
