(y/n) [n] yConnectivity Tests for SwitchesA connectivity test is a disruptive test that exercises all port and inter-portconnections for a switch in the diagnostics state. You must place the switch in thediagnostics state using the Set Switch State command before starting the test.There are two types of connectivity test: internal loopback and external loopback.• An internal loopback test exercises all internal port and inter-portconnections.• An external loopback test exercises all internal port, transceiver, andinter-port connections. A transceiver with a loopback plug is required for allports.The following example performs a connectivity internal test on a switch:QLogic8GbT #> admin startQLogic8GbT (admin) #>set switch state diagnosticsQLogic8GbT (admin) #> test switch connectivity internalA list of attributes with formatting and current values will follow.Enter a new value or simply press the ENTER key to accept the current value.If you wish to terminate this process before reaching the end of the listpress 'q' or 'Q' and the ENTER key to do so.LoopCount (decimal value, 1-4294967295) [100 ]FrameSize (decimal value, 40-2148) [256 ]DataPattern (32-bit hex value or keyword 'Default') [Default]StopOnError (True / False) [True ]LoopForever (True / False) [False ]Do you want to start the switch test?
