Overview

NOTE:

The optical interface of a Combo port does not support this feature.

A link in the up state goes down and then up automatically if you perform this operation on one of the
Ethernet interfaces forming the link.

You can use the Virtual Cable Test (VCT) function to check the status of the cable connected to an Ethernet

port on the device. The result is returned in less than 5 seconds. The test covers whether short circuit or
open circuit occurs on the cable and the length of the faulty cable.
