NOTES The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in
place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for
details.
This command is supported only on Fibre Channel ports. SFP's must be Brocade-branded and run
Fabric OS v7.0.0 or later. This command skips the optical loopback test for loopback plugs or when the
port loops back to another D_Port in the same switch.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
slot
On bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the ports to be configured,
followed by a slash (/).
port_list
Specifies one or more ports, relative to the slot on bladed systems. Use
switchShow for a listing of valid ports. A port list should be enclosed in double
quotation marks and can consist of the following:
• A single port, for example, "8" or "5/8" on blades systems.
• A port range where beginning and end port are separated by a dash, for
example, "8-13" or "5/8-13" on blades systems. A port range cannot span
multiple slots.
• A set of ports separated by spaces, for example "3 5 7 8"or 5/3 5/5 5/7 5/8 on
bladed systems.
• A set of ports separated by commas, for example "3,5,7,8"or 5/3,5,7,8 on
bladed systems.
• A wildcard '*' indicates all ports. The wild card should be enclosed in single
quotation marks.
--start
Initiates the diagnostics on the specified D_Ports.
-nframes number
Specifies the number of frames to send in millions. The default value is 1 for 1
million frames.
-time time
Specifies the time duration in HH:MM format for which the frame traffic test will
run.
-framesize size
Specifies the size of test frames that are generated to run the test. The range for
the framesize is 36 to 2112 bytes. The size of the frames can be specified in
multiples of 4; otherwise the nearest higher multiple of 4 value will be taken as
frame size. Default value is 1024.
-pattern pat_name
Specifies the name of the predefined pattern to be used in the payload. Valid
patterns are BYTE_NOT, QUAD_NOT, WORD_NOT, BYTE_RAMP,
QUAD_RAMP, WORD_RAMP, BYTE_LFSR, RANDOM, CRPAT, CSPAT,
CHALF_SQ, CQTR_SQ,RDRAM_PAT, jCRPAT, jCJTPAT, jCSPAT, PRED_RAND,
SMI_TEST, CJPAT, QUAD_NOTP, JSPAT, JTSPAT. Use the dataTypeShow
command to get the list of frame patterns.
