ilbstress

Performs a stress test using the internal loopback at the

PHY

or framer

interface. Packets are generated by the

MPX

and sent out to the port and

returned through an internal loopback within the PHY or framer. The

MPX

verifies the packets on a bit by bit basis. See the description for stress test
on page 36-8. If Ethernet type switch is tested, this test requires the

desx.img

file to be in the flash memory.

mamcam

Tests the Mammoth

CAM

. Tests the Mammoth

CAM

control logic,

CAM

access, and the data line and buffers.

mammem

Tests the Mammoth registers and memory. Includes testing the Mammoth
control logic, registers, internal memory, internal cache, external

SDRAM

,

SRAM

, and data/address lines.

mloopmac

Performs a port test using the internal loopback within the Mammoth

MAC

chip. Packet are generated by the

MPX

and sent out to the port and

returned through an internal loopback within the Mammoth

MAC

chip. The

MPX

verifies the packets on a bit by bit basis.

morreg

Tests the Moriah registers. Test the Moriah control logic, registers, and
data/address lines.

mvbus

Tests the mammoth

VBUS

circuitry. Frames are generated within the

Mammoth buffer system, sent out the

VBUS

, and then received on various

Mammoth queues. Data integrity is verified.

pcam

Tests the

HRE-X

Pseudo

CAM

. Tests the

HRE-X

Pseudo

CAM

control logic,

CAM

access, and the data line and buffers.

port

Functional testing of physical ports with a burst of data packets generated
by the

MPX

. Packets are generated by the

MPX

, sent out the physical port,

looped back through external cables or wrap plugs, and returned to the

MPX

. The returned packets are verified bit by bit by the

MPX

. The port test

requires the use of external cables or wrap plugs. The system will provide
user with instructions for setting up external cables or wrap plugs for port
test and prompts the user for input upon completion of setup. This test can
be bypassed if cables are not available. For more information on port tests,
see Port Tests on page 36-9. For information on cables required for the port
test, see Omni Switch/Router Port Test Wrap Cable/Plug Requirements on
page 36-10 for the Omni Switch/Router.

Important Note

For VSD and VSA submodules, the

port

test requires no

outside cabling. It is a combination of multiple static
tests for the submodule, rather than a traffic test.
