SING PTIONS
If the test encounters an error, and if it is set to stop on the
servdiag
error, the module does not function. If this occurs, call your 3Com reseller
or 3Com Technical Support immediately to obtain assistance.
See "The cont_mode Characteristic" later in this chapter for information
about how to set the
of errors.
With the
set servdiag
executes the diagnostics tests on the module that you specify. The
characteristics are:
cont_mode
loop_count
verbosity
The Characteristic
cont_mode
The (continuation mode) of the diagnostic test determines
cont_mode
whether the test continues after it encounters an error. The continuation
mode can be one of the following:
— The test reports an error then proceeds to the next test
continue
after it encounters the error.
— The test stops when it encounters a fatal error. The
halt_on_fatal
module is no longer functional. This is the default continuation mode.
halt_on_nonfatal_and_fatal
a nonfatal error or a fatal error. The module is not longer functional.
The following example sets the
CB9000> set servdiag cont_mode continue
The Characteristic
loop_count
The characteristic determines how many times the EME runs
loop_count
the diagnostic test on the module that you specify. Because the module
does not pass network traffic during the tests, do not set a high loop
count when you need to use the module in your network.
Valid values for the
loop_count
default value is 1. A value of zero causes the test to run
loop_count
indefinitely. The following example sets the
CB9000> set servdiag loop_count 5
