Type Description
0 Single frame
1 spinfab frames
2 spinfab 1K frames
Specifies external-test-only mode. The default value is 0, which disables
this mode. This command normally sends bursts of frames from each
port under test to every other port in the list. With -extonly mode set to
1, the command sends only one burst of frames to each port from each
ASIC pair-to-ASIC pair link. This tests all of the external connections
with only K * N frames instead of the N^2 frames required in all-to-all
mode.
This mode is intended to be used in ESS/burn-in testing to optimize test
time. tests only the external connections between each
backport
ASIC pair. is used to test the internal ASIC pair-to-ASIC pair

paths. The values are:
0 Send frames from all ports to all other ports.
1 Send only one burst of frames to each link.
