Fabric OS 3.1.3a Release Notes
CLI Command Updates and Changes
The commands described in this section have been added or modified since the
Fabric OS v3.1.x release in June, 2003.
New Command Introduced in v3.1.2
The
pathInfo
command was added in Fabric OS v3.1.2
Displays routing and statistics information along a path.
Synopsis
pathInfo [[[
domain
],
source port
],
destination port
]
[
,"-r"
]
Availability
all users
Description
The
pathInfo
command displays detailed routing information from a source
port (or area) on the local switch to a destination port (or area) on another switch.
This routing information describes the exact path that a user data stream takes to
go from the source to the destination. If the user specifies the use of inactive ports
or a path through a switch that does not have active routing tables to the
destination,
pathInfo
will describe the path that would be used if the ports were
active. If the user specifies a destination port that is not active, then
pathInfo
will use the embedded port as the destination.
For switches with blades, the ingress and egress points are specified as area
numbers. For a non-bladed switch, ingress and egress points are specified as ports.
This agrees with the representation shown in the
switchShow
command.
In addition,
pathInfo
can provide, upon request, statistics on every traversed
ISL.
The routing and statistics information is provided by every switch along the path,
based on the current routing tables information and statistics calculated
continuously in real time. Each switch represents one hop.
