6. Check if the transmit, receive or class 3 receiver counters are stuck at
7. Check if the number of frames transmitted is not equal to the number of
8. Repeat steps 2 through 7 for all ports present until:
At each pass, the frame is created from a different data type. If seven passes are
requested, seven different data types are used in the test. If eight passes are
requested, the first seven frames use unique data types, and the eighth is the same
as the first. The seven data types are:
Because this test does not include the media, SFP, or the fiber cable in its test path,
use the results from this test in conjunction with the results from
crossPortTest and spinSilk (both of which loop frames using an
external loopback cable) test to determine those switch components that are not
functioning properly.

Specify the number of times (or number of frames per
port) to execute this test. The default value is 0xfffffffe. This
operand is optional.
Specify the slot number that the diagnostic will operate on.
The ports specified will be relative to this slot number. The
default is set to 0 and designed to operate on fixed port
count products.
Specify the number of frames to send. The test will
progress until the specified number of frames has been
transmitted on each port. The default value is 10.
