Tests the wire-side transmitting and receiving paths between two ports.
Synopsis
crossporttest [-p port_list] [-n frame_count] [-l length] [-s speed]
[-m mac]
Availability
admin
Description
Use this command to test the wire-side connection between two ports. This test generates frames from one
port and sends them through an external fiber to another port.
Each participating port is both a frame producer and a frame consumer. The transmitting and receiving
operations occur in parallel. The transmitter attempts to send frames, independent of the status of the
receiver.
All ports involved in the test must be diagnostics-enabled (using portDiagEnable) prior to running this
test.
Operands
This command has the following optional operands:
Examples
To send out 1024 frames from ports 12 and 13 in Fibre Channel mode:
crossPortTest
-p port_list Specifies a list of source ports. The default value is all ports.
-n frame_count Specifies the number of frames to send to each destination. The default value
is 256.
-l length Specifies the payload length of the test frames. The default value is 1024.
-s speed Specifies Fibre Channel speed mode. The default value is 2 Gb.
0 autonegotiation
1 1 Gb
2 2 Gb
-m mac Specifies the MAC layer to activate. The default is Fibre Channel.
