-ports itemlist Specify a list of user ports to test. By default, all the user ports
in the switch are tested. See the itemList help pages for
further details.
-iteration count Specify the number of times (or number of frames per port) to
execute this test. The default value is 20. Valid values include:
0 Run the test on timeout mode.
-1 Run indefinitely.
-userdelay time Specify the delay between frames sent by portTest, in
milliseconds. The default value is 10 milliseconds.
-timeout time Specify the number of seconds to run the test. Setting the
iteration to 0 will set the portTest into timeout mode. The

-pattern Specify the pattern of the test packets payload. Twenty types
of predefined patterns are provided with the test. Use the
dataTypeShow command to view the types of patterns that
are supported with portTest. dataTypeShow displays the

type, if no pattern number is specified, is RANDOM
(type=11).

is 1024 bytes. Valid range of values are 4 bytes through
2112 bytes.
-seed seed Specify the seed pattern to be used with pattern. The default
seed value is 0xaa.

following values are predefined for porttype:
