Tests the data path of the FCIP complex.
SYNOPSIS fcippathtest
[--slot slot]
[-lb_mode mode]
[-nframes count]
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 7800/FX8-24 platforms.
Executing 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.
