Usage: link-test MAC-ADDR [vlan <VLAN-ID>] [repetitions <1-999>]
Description: Test the connection to a MAC address on the LAN.
Parameters:
o MAC-ADDR - MAC address of the device to which to send link test.
o [vlan VLAN-ID] - VLAN on which the device is expected to be present.
If this argument is not present, VLAN 1 will be used.
o [repetitions <1-999>] - Number of test packets to send; the
default value is 1.
o [timeout <1-256>] - Seconds within which a response is required
before the test is considered as failed; the default value is 5.

[timeout <1-256>]
The command sends a 802.2 test packet to a specific target
node on a network directly attached to a port in that
LAN. The target node must be able to respond to this test
packet with an 802.2 Test Response packet in order for the
test to work. The switch produces the following output if
the link test succeeds: 'Link-test passed'; otherwise, the
following is displayed: 'Link-test timed out'.
-- MAC address of device to which to send link test. (MAC-ADDR)
< 1 to 999 > -- Number of test packets to send <1-999>. (NUMBER)
< 0 to 256 > -- Test timeout in seconds <0-256>. (NUMBER)
-- VLAN where the device to be tested is present. (VLAN-ID)
