--slot slotnumber Specifies the slot number on which the diagnostic operates. The ports
specified are relative to this slot number. The default is set to 0 and designed
to operate on fixed-port-count products.
-nmegs count Specify the number of million frames to send. The test progresses until the
specified number of frames has been transmitted on each port. The default
value is 10, so the number of frames sent are at least 10 million.
-lb_mode mode Specify the loopback point for the test. By default, this command uses
loopback plugs, as described earlier. However, for debug purposes, you can
select other loopback modes, as follows:
1 Port loopback (loopback plugs)
2 External (SERDES) loopback
5 Internal (parallel) loopback
-spd_mode mode Specify the speed for the test. This parameter is used only for Bloom and
Condor ASIC-based products, where For 1 Gbit/sec-only products, this option
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 fails. Modes include:
0 Run test at 1 Gbit/sec, 2 Gbit/sec, and 4 Gbit/sec (default).
1 Set all port speeds to lock at 1 Gbit/sec
2 Set all port speeds to lock at 2 Gbit/sec.
4 Set all port speeds to lock at 4 Gbit/sec.
For -lb_mode set to 0 or 1, the following speed modes are available to test the speed negotiation:
5 Set all even ports' speed for auto-negotiate, set all odd ports' speed for 1
Gbit/sec.
6 Set all even ports' speed for auto-negotiate, set all odd ports' speed for 2
Gbit/sec.
7 Set all odd ports' speed for auto-negotiate, set all even ports' speed for 1
Gbit/sec.
8 Set all odd ports' speed for auto-negotiate, set all even ports' speed for 2
Gbit/sec.
For -lb_mode set to 2 or 3, the following speed modes are available to test FIFO underrun.
5,7 Set all even ports' speed for 2 Gbit/sec, set all odd ports' speed for 1
Gbit/sec.
6,8 Set all even ports' speed for 1 Gbit/sec, set all odd ports' speed for 2
Gbit/sec.
-nonstop mode Specify nonstop mode. If set to a nonzero value, the test does not stop on the
first error. The default value is 0.
-ports itemlist Specify a list of user ports to test. By default, all of the user ports in the
current switch are tested. This option can be used to restrict testing to the
specified ports.
