Performing Cable Diagnostics
Use the Interface > Port > Cable Test page to test the cable attached to a port. The cable test will
check for any cable faults (short, open, etc.). If a fault is found, the switch reports the length to the
fault. Otherwise, it reports the cable length. It can be used to determine the quality of the cable,
connectors, and terminations. Problems such as opens, shorts, and cable impedance mismatch
can be diagnosed with this test.
