For every test performed, the diagnostic utility shows the following data:
Total number of attempts
Number of successful completions
Number of failures
You can either perform all tests in succession, or perform only specific tests specified by the preceding command-line
parameters.
You can run additional diagnostics in the CLI as listed in the following table. To determine the cna_port_inst, issue the qaucli
-nic –i command as shown in

Command
qaucli -nic -extloopback <cna_port_inst> <tests_num> <on_error>
Where <tests_num> specifies the number of tests, 1–65535, and <on_error>> is either
0=Ignore or 1=Abort.
NOTE: This test requires a pass-through module to be configured for both ports. Test
runs between two ports. Single port loopback is not supported.
qaucli –nic –testflash [cna_port_inst]
qaucli –nic –testhw [cna_port_inst]
qaucli -nic -intloopback <cna_port_inst> <tests_num> <on_error>
Where <tests_num> specifies the number of tests, 1–65535, and <on_error>> is either
0=Ignore or 1=Abort.
qaucli –nic –testinterrupt [cna_port_inst]
qaucli -nic -testlink [cna_port_inst]
qaucli -nic -ping <cna_port_inst> <hostname_or_IPv4> [<count> <pocket_size>
<timeout_ms> <TTL>]
Where the default values are count=5, pocket_size=525, timeout_ms=1000, and
TTL=30.
