2. Configure the sender test endpoint using a similar CP CLI.

The syntax for invoking the sender test endpoint using

--ipperf for slot8, port ge0 on an

FR4-18i is as follows:

portcmd --ipperf 8/ge0 -s 192.168.255.100 -d 192.168.255.10 –S

For details of portcmd --ipperf syntax and output examples, refer to the Fabric OS Command

Reference Manual.

Ipperf options

General syntax of the portcmd --ipperf command is as follows:

portCmd

--ipperf [slot]/ge0|ge1 -s source_ip -d destination_ip -S|-R [-r rate] [-z size] [-t time]

[-i interval] [-p port] [-q diffserv] [-v vlan_id] [-c L2_Cos]

For details of command syntax and output examples, refer to the Fabric OS Command Reference

Manual.

Using ping to test a connection

The portCmd --ping command tests the connection between the IP address of a local Ethernet port

and a destination IP address. If you want to use this command to test a VLAN connection when you

do not have an active FCIP tunnel, you must manually add entries to the VLAN tag table on both the

local and remote sides of the route, using portCfg vlantag command.

General syntax of the portcmd --ping command are as follows:

portCmd

--ping [slot]/ge<n>|xge<n> -s source_ip -d destination_ip [-n num_requests] [-q diffserv]

[-t ttl] [-w wait_time] [-z size] [-v vlan_id] [-c L2_Cos]

For details of command syntax and output examples, refer to the Fabric OS Command Reference

Manual.

Using traceroute

The portCmd traceroute command traces routes from a local Ethernet port to a destination IP

address. If you want to use this command to trace a route across a VLAN when you do not have an

active FCIP tunnel, you must manually add entries to the VLAN tag table on both the local and

remote sides of the route using portCfg vlantag command.

General syntax of the portcmd --traceroute command are as follows.

portCmd

--traceroute [slot]/ge<n>|xge<n> -s source_ip -d destination_ip [-h max_hops] [-f

first_ttl] [-q diffserv] [-w wait time] [-z size] [-v vlan_id] [-c L2_Cos]

The following example traces the route between IP addresses 192.168.10.1 and 192.168.20.1

over VLAN 10.

portcmd --traceroute 8/ge0 -s 192.168.10.1 -d 192.168.20.1 -v 10

NOTE

To trace a route with crossport addresses, refer to “Using traceroute with crossports” on page 15.
