Media-related issues This section provides procedures that help pinpoint any media-related issues, such as bad cables and SFPs, in the fabric. The tests listed in Table 6 are a combination of structural and functional tests that can be used to provide an overview of the hardware components and help identify media-related issues. • Structural tests perform basic testing of the switch circuit. If a structural test fails, replace the main board or port blade. • Functional tests verify the intended operational behavior of the switch by running frames through ports or bypass circuitry. TABLE 6 Component test descriptions Test name Operands Checks portTest spinFab [-ports itemlist] [-iteration count] [-userdelay time] [-timeout time] [-pattern pattern] [-patsize size] [-seed seed] [-listtype porttype] [-nmegs count] [-ports itemlist] [-setfail mode] Used to isolate problems to a single replaceable element and isolate problems to near-end terminal equipment, far-end terminal equipment, or transmission line. Diagnostics can be executed every day or on demand. Tests switch-to-switch ISL cabling and trunk group operations. The following procedures are for checking switch-specific components.
