fcipPathTest

fcipPathTest
Tests the data path of the FCIP complex.
Synopsis fcippathtest [--slot slot][-lb_mode mode][-nframes count]
fcippathtest [--slot slot][-unit number][-path mode][-nframes count][-length data_length]
[-compress mode]
Description Use this command to verify the data paths in the FCIP complex. All data path modes run tests by
comparing Fibre Channel frames or data packets transmitted from and received by the network
processor due to the designated loopback.
This command is supported only on the Brocade 7500/FR4-18i and 7800/FX8-24 platforms. The
command syntax is platform-specific and not all options are valid on both platforms. To specify the
loopback mode on the Brocade 7500/FR4-18i, use the -path option. To specify the loopback mode
on the Brocade 7800/FX8-24, use the -lb_mode option. Both options are mutually exclusive.
When issued on the Brocade 7800 or FX8-24, this command causes the switch or blade to reboot.
Notes The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may
be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS commands" and Appendix A, "Command
Availability" for details.
Operands This command has the following operands:
--slot slot
-unit number
-lb_mode mode
-path mode
252
Specifies the slot number on which the diagnostic operates. The default is 0
and operates on fixed-port-count products (Brocade 7500/FR4-18i and
Brocade 7800/FX8-24).
Specifies the GbE port to test (Brocade 7500/FR4-18i only). By default, all
GbE ports in the specified slot are tested. Valid number values include:
0 GbE port 0
1 GbE port 1
2 All GbE ports
Specifies the loopback mode for the test on the Brocade 7800/FX8-24 only.
By default, this test uses the External (SERDES) loopback (2). Valid values
are as follows:
1 Port loopback (loopback plugs)
2 External (SERDES) loopback
7 Backend bypass and port loopback
Specifies the loopback mode for the test on the Brocade 7500/FR4-18i only.
By default, fcipPathTest uses the PHY and central ASIC loopback modes. You
can specify one of the following alternate loopback modes:
1 SFP loopback
2 PHY loopback
3 FCIP FPGA GMAC loopback
4 FCIP FPGA FC loopback
