CAM Test
To verify that the SID translation required by QuickLoop and implemented
using content addressable memories (CAM) is functioning correctly, press
<Enter> while
CAM Test
displays on the front panel. Related error messages are
DIAG-CAMINIT, DIAG-CAMSID, and DIAG-XMIT.
Port Loopback Test
To test the switch circuitry up to the serial output of the ASIC, press <Enter>
while
Port Loopback Test
displays on the front panel. The Port Loopback test
verifies the intended functional operation of the switch by sending frames
from each port's transmitter back to the same port's receiver through an
internal hardware loopback. The Port Loopback test is an internal test that
continues to run until you press any button. Related error messages are
DIAG-INIT, DIAG-PORTDIED, DIAG-XMIT, DIAG-TIMEOUT,
DIAG-ERRSTAT, DIAG-STATS, DIAG-DATA, and DIAG-PORTABSENT.
Cross Port Test
To verify the intended functional operation of the switch, press <Enter> while
Cross Port Test
displays on the front panel. Each port’s transmitter sends frames
by means of the GBIC module and external cable to another port’s receiver.
This test exercises the entire path of the switch.
You can connect any port to any other port in the same switch provided the
connection is of the same technology, for example, GBIC-SW ports to
GBIC-SW ports and GBIC-LW ports to GBIC-LW ports. Related error
messages are DIAG-INIT, DIAG-PORTDIED, DIAG-XMIT,
DIAG-TIMEOUT, DIAG-ERRSTAT, DIAG-STATS, DIAG-PORTWRONG,
DIAG-DATA, and DIAG-PORTABSENT.
