Diagnostic error message formats

If any port fails during a diagnostic test, it is marked BAD in the status display. To
retest a port that has been marked BAD, clear the port and set to OK using the
diagClearError (port#) command. This command clears the port status only and
does not clear the logs or change the port's condition. The diagClearError (port#)
command should only be used during diagnostic procedures to reset a bad port for
retest.
Some messages contain the following abbreviations:
v sb = Should be
v er = Bits inb error
Note: If you run the portStatsShow command or the diagShow command before
First port of range of ports to dump information. The default, if no operand
is specified, is to print the state of port 0. If only firstPort is specified, only
the information for firstPort is printed.
Last port of range of ports to dump information. If firstPort is specified, but
lastPort is not specified, it defaults to printing firstPort only for the port
based commands (portShow, portRegShow, portRouteShow).
Number of lines of portLogDump to print:
0 means dump all lines (default)
N means dump the last N lines
<0 means skip portLogDump
0 means dump all lines (default) N means dump the last N lines <0 means
skip portLogDump
running a test, errors may appear as a result of the normal synchronization
