Analyzing End-to-End Connectivity
You can use the End to End Connectivity option to determine connectivity and routes among devices
with the switch fabric. The connectivity tool checks to see that every pair of end devices can talk to each
other, using a Ping test and by determining if they are in the same VSAN or in the same active zone. This
option uses versions of the ping and traceroute commands modified for Fibre Channel networks.
To use the End to End Connectivity option in Fabric Manager to determine connectivity and routes,
perform this task:
Step 1 Choose Tools > End to End Connectivity.
You see the End to End Connectivity Analysis dialog box.
Step 2 Choose the VSAN whose connectivity will be verified from the VSAN drop-down list.
Step 3 Choose whether to perform the analysis for all active zones or for the default zone.
Step 4 Click Ensure that members can communicate to perform a Fibre Channel ping between the selected
endpoints.
Step 5 Identify the number of packets, the size of each packet, and the timeout in milliseconds.
Step 6 Analyze the redundant paths between endpoints by checking the Ensure that redundant paths exist
between members check box.
Step 7 Check the Report errors for check box to see a report of zone and device errors.
