• Example 3
If the local node is bently6, and you want to send five packets to verify
communications with the remote node bently7, using the adapter clic0 (which is
on bently6), issue this command:
clic_probe bently7 -c clic0 -p 5
CLIC_PROBE: 256 byte packets
Source adapter id: bently6.corp3.com:clic0
Target adapter id: bently7.corp4.com:clic1
256 bytes: seq_num = 1. Packet Acknowledged.
256 bytes: seq_num = 2. Packet Acknowledged.
256 bytes: seq_num = 3. Packet Acknowledged.
256 bytes: seq_num = 4. Packet Acknowledged.
256 bytes: seq_num = 5. Packet Acknowledged.
--------- bently7.corp4.com CLIC_PROBE Statistics --------
5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received, 0% packet loss.
• Example 4
If the local node is bently6, and you want to send five packets to verify
communications with the remote node bently7, using the adapter clic0 (which is
on bently6) and the route identified by VRID 194 and switch hopcount 1, issue this
command:
clic_probe -c clic0 -r 194 1 -p 5
(Remember, because you specified the -r VRID switch_hopcount parameter, you do
not need to also specify the node_name.)
The generated output could look like this:
CLIC_PROBE: 256 byte packets sent
Source adapter id: bently6.corp3.com:clic0
Target adapter id: bently7.corp4.com:clic1
256 bytes: seq_num = 1. Packet Acknowledged.
256 bytes: seq_num = 2. Packet Acknowledged.
256 bytes: seq_num = 3. Packet Acknowledged.
256 bytes: seq_num = 4. Packet Acknowledged.
256 bytes: seq_num = 5. Packet Acknowledged.
--------- bently7.corp4.com CLIC_PROBE Statistics --------
5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received, 0% packet loss.
Note that the VRID you specified (194) actually went to the adapter clic1 on
bently7. And, as explained earlier, you run the clic_stat -d VRID command to
determine the VRID and switch hopcount to specify.
