Fabric OS Command Reference 231

53-1001337-01

fcipPathTest

Tests the data path of the FCIP complex.

Synopsis fcippathtest [--slot slotnumber][-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.

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.

This command is supported only on the Brocade 7500/FR4-18i), and on the Brocade

7800/FX8-24 platforms only with a subset of options. When issued on the Brocade 7800 or

FX8-24, this command causes the switch or blade to reboot.

Operands This command has the following operands:

--slot slotnumber 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).

-unit number Specifies the GbE port to test (Brocade 7500/FR4-18i only). By default, all

GbE ports in the specified slotnumber are tested. Valid number values

include:

0 GbE port 0

1 GbE port 1

2 All GbE ports

-path mode Specifies the loopback point for the test. (Brocade 7500/FR4-18i only). By

default, fcipPathTest uses PHY and central ASIC loopback. Valid mode values

include:

1 SFP loopback

2 PHY loopback

3 FCIP FPGA GMAC loopback

4 FCIP FPGA FC loopback

5 Central ASIC FC loopback

7 SFP and central ASIC FC loopback

8 PHY and central ASIC FC loopback

9 FCIP FPGA GMAC and central ASIC FC loopback

-nframes count Specifies the number of frames to send. The test progresses until the

specified number of frames are transmitted on each port. The default value is

100 (Brocade 7500/FR4-18i and Brocade 7800/FX8-24).
