ExtremeWare 7.5 Command Reference Guide 1207
run diagnostics
For the “ i ” series switches:
run diagnostics [cable | extended | normal | packet memory] slot [<slot
number> | msm-a | msm-b]
For the “ e ” series switches:
run diagnostics [extended | normal | stack-port]
Description
Runs normal or extended diagnostics on the switch, slot, stacking port, or the management module.
Syntax Description

Usage Guidelines
NOTE
Run diagnostics when the switch can be brought off-line. The tests conducted are extensive and affect
traffic that must be processed by the system CPU. The diagnostics are processed by the CPU whether
you run them on an I/O or a management module.
The normal diagnostics are short series of tests that do not test all the internal ASIC functions. On a
management module, the extended diagnostic routine tests all components including the internal ASIC
functions. The management module is taken off-line while the diagnostic test is performed. It is reset
and operational once the test is completed.
cable Runs the cable diagnostic routine. Takes ports offline and checks the cable for
faults.
extended Runs an extended diagnostic routine. Takes the switch fabric and ports offline,
and performs extensive ASIC, ASIC-memory, packet memory, and packet
loopback tests.
normal Runs a normal diagnostic routine. Takes the switch fabric and ports offline,
and performs a simple ASIC and packet loopback test on all the ports.
packet memory Runs packet memory diagnostics on an “i” series module or stackable.
Note: This option is available only on the “ i ” series switches.
slot number Specifies the slot number of an I/O module.
NOTE: This option is available only on BlackDiamond switches.
msm-a | msm-b Specifies the slot letter of an MSM.
NOTE: This option is available only on BlackDiamond switches.
stack-port Specifies to run the diagnostic routine on the stacking port.
NOTE: This option is available only on the Summit 400 switches.
