When you configure the ports on each end of the link as D_Ports, diagnostic tests automatically initiate on the link when the D_Ports go online. Results can be viewed using Fabric OS commands during or after testing. Once in D_Port mode, the port does not participate in fabric operations, login to a remote device, or run data traffic. Figure 4 on page 10 illustrates the supported D_Port configurations.
