Brocade 6510 Management
The tests are implemented by command, either through a Telnet session or through a console set
up to the serial connection to the switch. Some tests require the ports to be connected by external
cables, to allow diagnostics to verify the serializer/deserializer interface, transceiver, and cable.
Some tests require loopback plugs.
Diagnostic tests run at link speeds of 2, 4, 8, 10, or 16 Gbps (FC) depending on the speed of the
link being tested and the type of port.
NOTE
Diagnostic tests might temporarily lock the transmit and receive speed of the links during diagnostic
testing.
For information about specific diagnostic tests, see the Fabric OS Troubleshooting and Diagnostics
Guide.
