portCmd
Diagnoses intelligent ports.
Synopsis portcmd --ipperf [slot/]geport -s src_ip -d dst_ip -S | -R [-i interval] [-p port] [-r committed_rate] [-
t running_time] [-z size]
portcmd --ping [slot/]geport -s src_ip -d dst_ip [-n num_requests] [-q service_type] [-t ttl] [-w
wait_time] [-z size]
portcmd --traceroute [slot/]geport -s src_ip -d dst_ip [-h max_hops] [-f first_ttl] [-q type_of_service]
[-w timeout] [-z size]
Description Use this command to invoke the end-to-end IP path performance (ipperf) characterization feature or to
ping, or trace route to a destination IP host from an intelligent GbE port. Currently we do not support
end-to-end path characterization if there exists an IPSec-enabled tunnel using the same source/local IP
address.

The execution of this command is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place.
Operands This command has the following operands:
slot For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number.
geport Specifies the port number of the GbE port on the blade.
--ipperf [slot/]geport -s src_ip -d dst_ip -S | -R [-i interval] [-p port] [-r committed_rate] [-t
running_time] [-z size]
Determines the path characteristics to the remote host. Valid arguments include:
-s src_ip
Specifies the local IP address to use for sourcing the probe packets.
ipperf will not start if there exists an IPSec-enabled tunnel using the same
source IP address.
-d dst_ip
Specifies the destination IP address to which to probe the IP router path.
-S
Specifies the source mode to initiate the TCP connection. The source
end-point generates a traffic stream and reports to the end-to-end IP path
characteristics from this end-point toward the receiver end-point sink.
-R
Specifies the sink mode to accept the new connection. The end-to-end
path characteristics are not reported.
-i interval
Specifies the intervals between polling and displaying stats, in seconds.
If the duration is less than -t running_time, the stats displays only once,
at the conclusion of the test. This operand is optional.
-p port
Specifies the TCP port number for the listener end-point. This operand is
optional.
