fcipPathTest
22
2
External (SERDES) loopback
7
Backend bypass and port loopback
-path mode
Specifies the loopback mode for the test on the Brocade FR4-18i only. By default,
fcipPathTest uses the PHY and central ASIC loopback modes. You can specify
one of the following alternate loopback modes:
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 is transmitted on each port. The default value is 100 (Brocade
FR4-18i and Brocade 7800/FX8-24).
-length data_length
Specifies the data length of the frames used in the test (Brocade FR4-18i only).
The default is 1,024; the maximum is 2,112 FC frames and 8,196 data packets.
-compress mode
Specifies the compression device for which to select or to bypass data
compression for the test (Brocade FR4-18i only). By default, data compression is
used. This setting is applicable only to path mode 1 and 2.
DIAGNOSTICS When it detects failures, the test may report one or more of the following error messages:
PATH_TEST_ERR
PATH_TEST_CHIP_INIT_ERR
PATH_TEST_IMAGE_ERR
PATH_TEST_TIMEOUT_ERR
PATH_TEST_HEARTBEAT_ERR
PATH_TEST_INVALID_RESULT
PATH_TEST_GE_PORT_ENABLE_ERR
PATH_TEST_GE_PORT_DISABLE_ERR
