crossPortTest

Test the functional operation of the switch.

Description
Use this command to verify the functional operation of the switch. This command verifies
operation by sending frames from a port transmitter and looping the frames back through an
external fiber cable into another port receiver. This command exercises all of the switch
components from the main board to the GBIC, from the GBIC to the fiber cable, from the fiber
cable to the GBIC, and from the GBIC back to the main board.
The cables can be connected to any port combination as long as the cables and GBICs connected
are of the same technology. For example, a short wavelength GBIC port is connected to another
short wavelength GBIC port using a short wavelength cable, or a long wavelength port is connected
to another long wavelength port.
For complete testing, ports connected should be from different ASICs. For example, in the FC 16B,
ports 0-3 are assigned to ASIC 0, ports 4-7 are assigned to ASIC 1, ports 8-11 are assigned to ASIC
2, and ports 12-15 are assigned to ASIC 3. A connection from port 0 to port 15 exercises the
transmit path between all four ASICs. A connection from port 0 to port 3 tests only the internal
transmit path in ASIC 0.
Only one frame is transmitted and received at a given time and the port LEDs flicker green while
the test is running.
At each pass, the frame is created from a different data type. There are seven data types:
1.
CSPAT:
2. BYTE_LFSR:
3.
CHALF_SQ:
4.
QUAD_NOT:
5.
CQTR_SQ:
6.
CRPAT:
7.
RANDOM:
If seven passes are requested, the seven different data types are used in the test. If eight passes are
requested, the first seven frames use unique data types, and the eighth is the same as the first.
crossPortTest Modes
There are three test modes. These modes can be used together to test specific ports.
•
switchEnable or switchDisable mode
•
singlePortAlso mode
•
GBIC mode
