Step 3
Run the TestTrafficStress test.
Note
With software release 8.5(1), the TestTrafficStress test is not available. This test might be available in
subsequent releases. If the test is not available, proceed to the next step.
This disruptive packet-switching test is available only on the supervisor engine. The test pairs ports
across the system so that packets are switched between those ports at line-rate for stress-testing the
system. The test takes a few minutes to finish. During the test, all the ports are shut down and some ports
might go up and down (flap). Note that any ports that are down will not come back up after the test is
finished. Additional test requirements are as follows:
•
User actions before running the test—All health-monitoring tests for the module should be disabled
before running this test.
•
User actions after running the test—None
Step 4
Run the TestEobcStressPing test.
Note
With software release 8.5(1), the TestEobcStressPing test is not available. This test might be available
in subsequent releases. If the test is not available, proceed to the next step.
This disruptive test checks the EOBC connection for the specified module. The test takes a couple of
minutes to finish. You cannot run the packet-switching tests described in previous steps after running
this test. However, you can run the tests described in Step 5. Additional requirements are as follows:
•
User actions before running the test—You should disable all health-monitoring tests for the module
before running this test because the EOBC connection is disrupted and will cause the
health-monitoring tests to fail.
•
User actions after running the test—Either run the tests mentioned in Step 5 or power cycle the
module to return to normal operation. After the module comes online, reenable the
health-monitoring tests that were disabled.
Step 5
Run the exhaustive memory tests.
