on each port back to the receiver on the same port by way of an internal hardware
loopback. It tests the switch circuitry up to the serial output of the ASIC.
The loopback point chosen by the portLoopbackTest depends on what kind of GBIC
module is present. If a GBIC other than an optical SWL or LWL GBIC is present,
the test loops back only at the input (rather than the output) of the serial link.
Copper and unknown GBIC types fall within this category.
The command syntax is.
portLoopbackTest nFrames
Attention:
This command cannot be performed on an operational switch. Before
issuing the portLoopbackTest command, disable the switch by using the
switchDisable command.
If you do not include the nFrames parameter, the loopback test runs continuously
until you press Enter again. If the test does not find an error, there is no output. You
can choose to continue the test, view statistics, or view an error log. Table 35
explains the loopback errors message fields.
While the test is running, all interface module front panel LEDs rapidly flicker green,
indicating that the test is finding no errors and is processing.
