SYNOPSIS fcippathtest [--slot slot] [-lb_mode mode] [-nframes count] DESCRIPTION NOTES OPERANDS DIAGNOSTICS 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 the Brocade 7800/FX8-24 platforms. Executing this command causes the switch or blade to reboot. The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place.
