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.
The following procedures are for checking switch-specific components.
