fcipPathTest

5 Central ASIC FC loopback

7 SFP and central ASIC FC loopback

8 PHY and central ASIC FC loopback

9 FCIP FPGA GMAC and central ASIC FC loopback

-nframes count Specifies the number of frames to send. The test progresses until the

specified number of frames are transmitted on each port. The default value is

100 (Brocade 7500/FR4-18i and Brocade 7800/FX8-24).

-length data_length

Specifies the data length of the frames used in the test (Brocade

7500/FR4-18i only). The default is 1,024; the maximum is 2,112 FC frames

and 8,196 data packets.

-compress mode Specifies the compression device for which to select or to bypass data

compression for the test (Brocade 7500/FR4-18i only). By default, data

compression is used. This setting is applicable only to path mode 1 and 2.

Examples To run the test on slot 2 with PHY loopback sending 10 frames:

switch:admin> fcippathtest --slot 2 -path 2 -nframes 10
