portDPortTest
The approximate cable distance is calculated and displayed instead of estimated cable distance if the "electrical
loopback" and "optical loopback" tests statuses are SKIPPED. The associated value of Approximate/Estimated
cable distance will be UNKNOWN if the "electrical loopback" and "optical loopback" tests statuses are "SKIPPED"
and the link distance is less than 150 meters.
The D_Port long duration test can be run on only one port at a time.
Operands This command has the following operands:
slot
On bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the ports to be configured, followed
by a slash (/).
port_list
Specifies one or more ports, relative to the slot on bladed systems. Use switchShow for a
listing of valid ports. A port list should be enclosed in double quotation marks and can
consist of the following:
• A single port, for example, "8" or "5/8" on blades systems.
• A port range where beginning and end port are separated by a dash, for example,
"8-13" or "5/8-13" on blades systems. A port range cannot span multiple slots.
• A set of ports separated by commas, for example "3,5,7,8" or "5/3,5,7,8" on bladed
systems.
• A wildcard '*' indicates all ports. The wildcard can be represented as '*', or "*".
--start
Initiates the diagnostics on the specified D_Ports.
-nframes number
Specifies the number of frames to send in millions. The default value is 1 for 1 million frames.
The maximum value is 2147483647 million frames. If the number of frames exceeds the
maximum value, the test proceeds with the initial 2147483647 million frames.
-time time
Specifies the time duration in HH:MM format for which the frame traffic test will run.
-framesize size
Specifies the size of test frames that are generated to run the test. The range for the
framesize is 36 to 2112 bytes. The size of the frames can be specified in multiples of 4;
otherwise the nearest higher multiple of 4 value will be taken as frame size. Default value is
1024.
-pattern pat_name
Specifies the name of the predefined pattern to be used in the payload. Valid patterns are
BYTE_NOT, QUAD_NOT, WORD_NOT, BYTE_RAMP, QUAD_RAMP, WORD_RAMP,
BYTE_LFSR, RANDOM, CRPAT, CSPAT, CHALF_SQ, CQTR_SQ,RDRAM_PAT,
jCRPAT, jCJTPAT, jCSPAT, PRED_RAND, SMI_TEST, CJPAT, QUAD_NOTP, JSPAT,
JTSPAT. Use the dataTypeShow command to get the list of frame patterns.
-payload payload_pattern
Specifies the user defined payload pattern in hexadecimal.
-fec
Enables the forward error correction (FEC) during D_Port test. This sub-option is not
supported on D_Ports configured with Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM).
