Telnet Commands
To run the crossPortTest command successfully the test must find
at least one port (if singlePortAlso loopback mode is active) or two
ports (if singlePortAlso loopback mode is not active) cable
loopbacked to each other. If this criteria is not met, one of the
following messages is displayed:
Need at least one port(s) connected to run this test
Need at least two port(s) cross-connected to run this test
In OFFLINE mode (when the switch is disabled prior to executing
the
crossPortTest command), all ports are assumed to be cross-port
cabled to different ports in the same switch. If one or more ports are
not connected, the test aborts.
The test determines which port is connected to which port
transmitting frames. If any ports are not properly connected
(improperly seated SFPs or cables, bad SFPs or cables, or improper
connection), the following message is displayed:
One or more ports is not active, please double check fibres on all
ports.
SFP Mode Use the setSFPMode command (setGBICMode in v3.0) to activate SFP
mode by executing the following command prior to executing
crossPortTest:
sw:admin> setGbicMode 1
When activated, only ports with SFPs present are tested by
crossPortTest. For example, if only port 0 and port 3 contain SFPs,
crossPortTest limits testing to port 0 and port 3.
The state of SFP mode is saved in nonvolatile memory and remains
active (even after reboots or power cycles) until it is disabled as
follows:
sw:admin> setSFPMode 0
