Fabric OS Commands
-extonly enable
Example
To test for back-end miniswitch to miniswitch links:
switch:admin> backport
Running Backport Test .....
switch:admin>
Errors
When the command detects failures, the test may report one or more of the
following error messages:
60
0x3a INIT
0x28 ERR_STAT
0x29 XMIT
0x2c PORT_DIED
0x2e PORT_STOPPED
0x38 ERR_STATS
Specify 1 to enable external test only mode. The
default value is 0. This command normally sends
bursts of frames from each port under test to every
other port in the list. In
will send only one burst of frames to each port from
each miniswitch to miniswitch link. This tests all of the
external connections with only (K*N) frames instead
2
of the N frames required in the all to all mode.
This mode is intended to be used in ESS/burn-in
testing to optimize test time. This command tests only
the external connections between each miniswitch
and txdpath is used to test the internal ASIC to ASIC
paths. In this mode the test does NOT check all of the
VC allocation so it should not be used for software
regression test.
Valid values are:
0 Send frames from all ports to all other ports.
1 Send only one burst of frames to each link.
