fcipPathTest
Tests the data path of the FCIP complex.
Synopsis fcippathtest [--slot slotnumber][-unit number][-path mode][-nframes count][-length data_length]
[-compress mode]
Description Use this command to verify the data paths in the FCIP complex. All data path modes run tests by
comparing Fibre Channel frames or data packets transmitted from and received by the network
processor due to the designated loopback.
Notes The execution of this command is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. Refer
to chapter 1, "Understanding Admin Domain Restrictions" and Appendix A, "Command Availability"
for details.
This command is supported only on Brocade FR4-18i blades and Brocade 7500 platforms.
Operands This command has the following operands:
--slot slotnumber Specifies the slot number on which the diagnostic operates. The default is 0
and operates on fixed-port-count products.
-unit number Specifies the GbE port to test. By default, all GbE ports in the specified
slotnumber are used. Valid number values include:
0 GbE port 0
1 GbE port 1
2 All GbE ports
-path mode Specifies the loopback point for the test. By default, fcipPathTest uses PHY
and central ASIC loopback. Valid mode values include:
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 are transmitted on each port. The default value is
100.
-length data_length
Specifies the data length of the frames used in the test. The default is 1,024;
the maximum is 2,112 FC frames and 8,196 data packets.
