• -r specifies that VRID switch_hopcount is the routing information for the adapter.

To determine the VRID and switch_hopcount to specify, first run the

clic_stat -d VRID command (see “The clic_stat Command” on page 91). Note that

if you specify this parameter (-r VRID switch_hopcount), you must also specify the

-c adapter_ID parameter (described above).

• -l specifies that you want to do local loopback testing on a particular adapter. Note

that if you specify this parameter (-l), you must also specify the -c adapter_ID

parameter (described above).

• -s specifies that you want to loopback at the switch port attached to a particular

adapter. Note that if you specify this parameter (-s), you must also specify the

-c adapter_ID parameter (described above).

• -p specifies that you want to send packet_count number of 256-byte packets.

packet_count can be any positive integer. This parameter is useful for building

scripts for debugging or for hardware verification. If you do not specify this

parameter, one packet is sent each second, until you stop the command with a

CTRL-C.

• -? displays the online help for clic_probe.

If you do not specify any of the above parameters, the online help for clic_probe is

displayed.
