2 fcipPathTest fcipPathTest Synopsis Tests the data path of the FCIP complex. fcippathtest [--slot slot][-lb_mode mode][-nframes count] fcippathtest [--slot slot][-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 the Brocade 7500/FR4-18i and 7800/FX8-24 platforms. The command syntax is platform-specific and not all options are valid on both platforms. To specify the loopback mode on the Brocade 7500/FR4-18i, use the -path option. To specify the loopback mode on the Brocade 7800/FX8-24, use the -lb_mode option. Both options are mutually exclusive. When issued on the Brocade 7800 or FX8-24, this command causes the switch or blade to reboot. Notes 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. Operands This command has the following operands: --slot slot Specifies the slot number on which the diagnostic operates. The default is 0 and operates on fixed-port-count products (Brocade 7500/FR4-18i and Brocade 7800/FX8-24). -unit number Specifies the GbE port to test (Brocade 7500/FR4-18i only). By default, all GbE ports in the specified slot are tested. Valid number values include: 0 GbE port 0 1 GbE port 1 2 All GbE ports -lb_mode mode Specifies the loopback mode for the test on the Brocade 7800/FX8-24 only. By default, this test uses the External (SERDES) loopback (2). Valid values are as follows: 1 Port loopback (loopback plugs) 2 External (SERDES) loopback 7 -path mode Backend bypass and port loopback Specifies the loopback mode for the test on the Brocade 7500/FR4-18i only. By default, fcipPathTest uses the PHY and central ASIC loopback modes. You can specify one of the following alternate loopback modes: 1 SFP loopback 2 PHY loopback 3 FCIP FPGA GMAC loopback 4 FCIP FPGA FC loopback 252 Fabric OS Command Reference 53-1001764-02
