Troubleshooting 2-11
NOTE: All ports on the Switch must be connected or else the Switch shows an error
condition when disabled. If the Switch is enabled at least one set of ports must be cross
connected or if using the single port test it must be cross connected, or else the Switch
shows an error condition.
If an error is detected during the test, the error is displayed on either the front
panel display or during the Telnet session. Refer to Cross Port Test Error
Messages for a detailed listing of these error messages, probable cause of the
error, and possible corrective action.
NOTE: When running the cross port test, you must set the operating mode value to 0 or
1. Modes 2 and 3 do not send out the ELP used to discover Switches. If the ELP is not
sent, the Switch does not know the port is connected to another port on the same Switch
and the test fails.
Spin Silk Test
The Spin Silk Test checks the Switch at full operating speed without
monitoring each port’s transmission characteristics. A generated frame is
passed from port to port at the full 1-Gbps rate.
NOTE: For the Spin Silk Test to run correctly all ports must be present and cabled.
Because the CPU is not comparing data on each frame as with the other two
frame tests, the DIAG-DATA error is never reported during spin silk.
However, the other error messages defined for crossPortTest and their
corresponding probable causes and actions are applicable to the spin silk test.
Pressing <Enter> while Spin Silk Test is selected displays a reminder to
take the Switch offline, if it is not offline. If the message is displayed, take the
Switch offline as described in the section Switch Offline.
Pressing <Enter> starts the Spin Silk Test and displays:
SpinSilk: Press Any
Button to terminate
After any button is pressed, and the test has shown no failure, Passed is
displayed.
If an error is found during the test, the error is displayed on either the front
panel display or through Telnet. Refer to SpinSilk Test Error Messages for a
detailed listing of these error messages.
