2 fcipPathTest fcipPathTest Tests 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. 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 port -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. -compress mode Specifies the compression device to select or to bypass data compression for the test. By default, data compression is used. This setting is applicable only to path mode 1 and 2. Examples To run the test on slot 2 with PHY loopback sending 10 frames: switch:admin> fcippathtest --slot 2 -path 2 -nframes 10 182 Fabric OS Command Reference Manual 53-1000436-01
