5.6.6 IPMC
IPMITest (SP): Executes basic IPMI commands and ensures the basic IPMI controller, IPMI bus
functionalities are working properly by reading the response back.
5.6.7 NETWORK
 EthLinkTest (SP & PP): Verifies Ethernet device (ex: eth0, eth1, eth2, etc...) link status
(active/inactive) and also captures various statistics of Ethernet device.
 FloodPingTest (SP & PP): FloodPingTest uses the ICMP protocol’s mandatory
ECHO_REQUEST datagram to elicit an ICMP_ECHO_RESPONSE from a host or gateway.
ECHO_REQUEST datagram’s have an IP and ICMP header, followed by a structure timeval
and then an arbitrary number of ’Pad’ bytes used to fill out the packet.
 EthStatsTest (SP): Tests basic network packet consistency that is checks network Rx, Tx
errors, generates a warning if errors are less than or equal to 100 and marks the test as fail
if number of errors are more than 100.
 NetworkCntlrTest (SP): Verifies random data transmitted and also the data received for
each configured network device. It verifies only Ethernet and token ring devices that are
configured and active. The asynchronous devices are not verified.
 SwitchTempTest (SP): Gets the temperature (in degrees Celsius and can be negative) of the
Ethernet Switch. Obtained temperature value will be compared with the minimum and
maximum values of the chipset given in the specification.
 NwMemAcessTest (SP): This test accesses various memory areas (listed below) accessible
by the device and performs Pattern read/write operations (incremental values, random
values and 0xAA, 0x55) on the memory area. This test ensures the device is able to access
those memories for read and write operations. Frequent failures of this test can be treated
as malfunctioning hardware.
Applicable memory types:
– Buffer DRAM
– MAC table memory
– VLAN table memory
