Using Portcmd Ping - HP A7533A - Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch Base Administrator's Manual

• Default size—1MSS
Following is the syntax for portCmd ipPerf to display end-to-end IP path performance statistics:
portCmd --ipPerf [slot]/ge0|ge1 -s source_ip -d destination_ip -S|-R [-r
rate] [-z size] [-t time]
[-i interval] [-p port] [-q diffserv] [-v vlan_id] [-c L2_Cos]
Where:
-s source_ip
-d destination_ip The destination IP address.
-S
-R
-r rate
-z size
-t time
-i interval
-p port
-q diffserv
-v vlan_id
-c L2_Cos

Using portCmd ping

The portCmd ping command tests the connection between the IP address of a local Ethernet port (ge0
or ge1) and a destination IP address. If you want to use this command to test a VLAN connection when you
do not have an active FCIP tunnel, you must manually add entries to the VLAN tag table on both the local
and remote sides of the route, using portCfg vlantag command.
portCmd --ping [slot]/ge0|ge1 -s source_ip -d destination_ip -n
num_requests] [-q diffserv] [-t ttl] [-w wait_time] [-z size] [-v vlan_id]
[-c L2_Cos]

The source IP address.
Operates the WAN tool FCIP port-embedded client in the sender mode. The
test endpoint will generate a traffic stream and report the end-to-end IP path
characteristics from this endpoint toward the receiver endpoint. This option
cannot be used with the –R option.
Operates the WAN tool FCIP-port embedded client in the receiver mode.
The test endpoint will accept a connection and traffic stream from the
sender This option cannot be used with the -S option.
The committed rate for the data stream in Kb/s. If specified, the traffic
generator will be limited by a traffic shaper. This can be used to
characterize the end-to-end IP path performance based on the data rate to
be configured for a tunnel between the same endpoints. If a rate is not
specified then the traffic generator will compete for uncommitted
bandwidth.
The size in bytes for each buffer handed to the TCP layer. If a size is not
specified, the maximum size data buffer will be used based on the
outbound IP interface MTU. The size is the only buffer size that will be
handed over to the TCP layer.
The total time in seconds to run the test traffic stream. If a time is not
specified, the test will run continuously until stopped by typing Ctrl-C.
The interval in seconds between polling and printing stats. The default is 30
sec. If this time is greater than the running time (specified by –t), the stats
will be printed only once at the conclusion of the test.
The TCP port number for the listener endpoint. If a TCP port is not specified,
port 3227 is used (this is next port after ports 3225 and 3226, which are
used for the FCIP tunnel connections).
The DiffServ marking code point (DSCP) for the TCP connection. The value
must be an integer in the range of 0 to 63. The default value is 0. This
operand is optional. Before configuring DSCP settings, determine if the IP
network you are using implements PHB, and consult with the network
administrator to determine the appropriate DSCP values.
The number used as the VLAN ID.
The Layer 2 class of service.
