9 Backend bypass and internal loopback
-spd_mode mode Specifies the speed mode for the test. This parameter controls the speed at
which each port operates. For 1 Gbps-only products, this parameter is
ignored. The exact operation of modes 5 through 8 depends on the loopback
mode selected. When speed modes 5 through 8 are used with cables, they
must be connected EVEN->ODD or the test fails.
0 Run test at 1 Gbps, 2 Gbps, and 4 Gbps (default).
1 Set all port speeds to lock at 1 Gbps.
2 Set all port speeds to lock at 2 Gbps.
4 Set all port speeds to lock at 4 Gbps.
8 Set all port speeds to lock at 8Gbps.
For -lb_mode set to 1, the following speed modes are available to test the speed negotiation.
3 Set speed on all even ports to auto-negotiate. Set speed on all odd ports
to 1 Gbps.
4 Set speed on all even ports to auto-negotiate. Set speed on all odd ports
to 2 Gbps.
5 Set speed on all odd ports to auto-negotiate. Set speed on all even ports
to 1 Gbps.
6 Set speed on all odd ports to auto-negotiate. Set speed on all even ports
to 2 Gbps.
For -lb_mode set to 2, the following speed modes are available to test FIFO underrun.
3,5 Set speed on all even ports to 2 Gbps. Set speed on all odd ports to
1 Gbps.
4,6 Set speed on all even ports to 1 Gbps. Set speed on all odd ports to
2 Gbps.
-splb_mode 0 | 1 Specifies a special loopback mode for minicycle.The regular minicycle test
routes two ports together and spins frames between them. In splb_mode,
ports are not routed. Each port spins frames to themselves. This test
resembles a spinning version of porLoopBackTest. Note that in splb_mode,
the test will do one pass only on path 8.
splb_mode is either on (1) or off (0). The default is off (0).
-ports itemlist Specifies a list of blade ports to test. By default, all the blade ports in the
specified slot (--slot) are used. Refer to itemList for further details. If all
ports in the ASIC pair are not specified, only paths between selected ports are
tested.
ASIC-pair 0: -ports 0-15
ASIC-pair 1: -ports 16-31
ASIC-pair 2: -ports 32-47
ASIC-pair 3: -ports 48-63
