The target device can be defined as a Fibre Channel address or a WWN. 8/20q FC Switch #> fcping 970400 count 3 28 bytes from local switch to 0x970400 time = 10 usec 28 bytes from local switch to 0x970400 time = 11 usec 28 bytes from local switch to 0x970400 time = 119 usec The following is an example of a connection failure: 8/20q FC Switch #> fcping 0x113344 count 3 28 bytes from local switch to 0x113344 failed Enter the fctrace command to display Fibre Channel routing information between two devices, as shown in the following example.
