Dell Brocade 6520 Command Reference Supporting Fabric OS v7.1.0 - Page 754

2 portCmd NOTES OPERANDS VLAN tagging ensures that test traffic traverses the same path as real FCIP traffic. A VLAN tag entry must exist prior to issuing the --ping or --traceroute commands; this includes both the local and remote sides. The -crc option to portCmd --tperf is no longer supported as of Fabric OS v7.0.0. End-to-end path characterization is not supported if an IPSec-enabled tunnel exists that uses the same source/local IP address. Make sure to use the --ping command with a double-dash (--). If the dashes are omitted, a message displays indicating that the command is deprecated. 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 has the following operands: slot For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the port to be configured, followed by a slash (/). ge port Specifies the port number of the GbE port on the blade. --ping Pings a destination IP address from one of the source IP interfaces on the GbE port. Valid arguments and their values include the following: -s src_ip Specifies the source IP address that originates the ping request. IPv6 addresses are supported. -d dst_ip Specifies the destination IP address to which to target the ping request. IPv6 addresses are supported. -x | -crossport Specifies the source IP address as a crossport. A crossport is the nonlocal (secondary) XGE port to a VE_Port group that provides failover capabilities for the tunnel configured on the local XGE port. This operand is optional and supported only on the Brocade FX8-24 XGE ports. -n num_requests Specifies the number of ping requests. Valid values are 1 to 255. The default is 4. This operand is optional. -q service_type Specifies the type of service in the ping request. The default is 0 and service_type must be an integer from 0 to 255. This operand is optional. -t ttl Specifies the time to live. Valid values are 1 to 255. The default is 100.
