fcipPathTest 2 fcipPathTest Synopsis Tests the data path of the FCIP complex. 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 Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for details. This command is supported only on the Brocade 7500/FR4-18i), and on the Brocade 7800/FX8-24 platforms only with a subset of options. When issued on the Brocade 7800 or FX8-24, this command causes the switch or blade to reboot. 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 (Brocade 7500/FR4-18i and Brocade 7800/FX8-24). -unit number Specifies the GbE port to test (Brocade 7500/FR4-18i only). By default, all GbE ports in the specified slotnumber are tested. Valid number values include: 0 GbE port 0 1 GbE port 1 2 -path mode All GbE ports Specifies the loopback point for the test. (Brocade 7500/FR4-18i only). 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 -nframes count FCIP FPGA GMAC and central ASIC FC loopback 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 (Brocade 7500/FR4-18i and Brocade 7800/FX8-24).
