Usage Guidelines
Use this command to run diagnostics on the switch, slot, or management module.
Running Diagnostics—Modular Switches Only. If you run the diagnostic routine on an I/O module, that
module is taken off-line while the diagnostic test is performed. The ports on the module do not forward
traffic. Once the diagnostic test is completed, the I/O module is automatically reset and becomes
operational again.
After the switch runs the diagnostic routine, test results are saved in the module's EEPROM and
messages are logged to the syslog.
NOTE
On the BlackDiamond 10K switch, run diagnostics when the switch can be brought off-line. The tests conducted are
extensive and affect traffic that must be processed by the system CPU. The CPU processes the diagnostics whether
you run diagnostics on an I/O module or a management module.
On an I/O module, the extended diagnostic routine can require significantly more time to complete,
depending on the number of ports on the module.

Runs an extended diagnostic routine. Takes the ports offline, and performs
extensive ASIC and packet loopback tests on all of the ports.
Runs a normal diagnostic routine. Takes the ports offline, and performs a
simple ASIC and packet loopback test on all of the ports.
