Test tab

The Test tab allows you to perform two tests. You can test the switch fabric and check the address resolution (AR) table for consistency.

The Fabric test causes the CPU to generate traffic and send it through the switch fabric. Given the forwarding rate of an Passport 1000 Series routing switches, the CPU does not generate much traffic, but it performs a simple test of the switch fabric memory.

The ARTable test performs a consistency check on address resolution table entries.

To test the fabric or address resolution table:

From the Device Manager menu bar, choose Edit > Diagnostics.

The Test tab opens with the following test options available:

· Test the Address Resolution Table (ARtable)

· Test the switch fabric (Fabric)

· Stop a test in progress


Item Description

  • aborted
  • failed
Code
The code contains more specific information about the test result (for example, an error code after a failed test):
  • none
  • NoReceive (timeout on a send)
  • BadSeq (packets received out of sequence)
  • BadLen (packet length mismatch)
  • BadData (packet data mismatch)
