-spd_mode mode Specify the speed mode for the test. This parameter is used only for Bloom and

Condor ASIC-based products, where it controls the speed at which each port is

operated. For 1 Gbit/sec-only products, it is ignored. The exact operation of modes

5 through 8 depends upon the loopback mode selected. When speed modes 5

through 8 are used with cables, they must be connected EVEN to ODD or the test

will fail.

0 Run test at 1 Gbit/sec, 2 Gbit/sec, and 4 Gbit/sec.

1 Run test at 1 Gbit/sec.

2 Run test at 2 Gbit/sec (Bloom default).

4 Run test at 4 Gbit/sec (Condor default).

For -lb_mode set to 1, the following speed modes are available to test the speed

negotiation:

5 Set all even ports' speed to 1 Gbit/sec; set all odd ports' speed to auto

negotiate.

6 Set all even ports' speed to 2 Gbit/sec; set all odd ports' speed to auto

negotiate.

7 Set all even ports' speed to auto negotiate; set all odd ports' speed to 1

Gbit/sec.

8 Set all even ports' speed to auto negotiate; set all odd ports' speed to 2

Gbit/sec.

For -lb_mode set to 2 or 3, the following speed modes are available to test FIFO

underrun:

7,5 Set all even ports' speed to 2 Gbit/sec; set all odd ports' speed to 1 Gbit/

sec.

8,6 Set all even ports' speed to 1 Gbit/sec; set all odd ports' speed to 2 Gbit/

sec.

-verbose mode Specify a nonzero value to display more detailed information during the test. This

mode should be used for debugging purposes. This operand is optional.

-ports itemlist Specify a list of user ports to test. By default, all of the user ports in the current

switch are tested. Refer to itemList for further details.
