Pressing Enter while the portLoopbackTest is selected displays a reminder to take the switch offline, if it is not offline. If the message is displayed, take the switch offline. The portLoopbackTest command is an internal test that continues to run until you press any button. While the test is running, all GBIC module front-panel LEDs rapidly flicker green; that indicates that the test is finding no errors and is processing. To stop the test, press any button. The panel activates the display shown in Figure 40. Port Loopback Test: Aborted Figure 40. portLoopbackTest command example Related error messages: DIAG-INIT, DIAG-PORTDIED, DIAG-XMIT, DIAG-TIMEOUT, DIAG-ERRSTAT, DIAG-STATS, DIAG-DATA, DIAG-PORTABSENT. Port register test Figure 41 shows the portRegTest command, which checks each register and static memory that are located on the system board. Registers are set under firmware control and control the hardware route selection and other internal hardware functions. Attention: This command cannot be performed on an operational switch. Before issuing the portRegTest command, disable the switch by using the switchDisable command. Disabling the switch halts all operation on the switch. This test validates that all registers can be successfully accessed. switch:admin> portRegTest Running Port Register Test . . . . . .passed.
