726 Fabric OS Command Reference

portCmd
2
VLAN tagging ensures that test traffic traverses the same path as real FCIP traffic. A VLAN tag entry
must exist prior to issuing the --ping or --traceroute commands; this includes both the local and remote
sides.
NOTES The -crc option to portCmd --tperf is no longer supported as of Fabric OS v7.0.0.
End-to-end path characterization is not supported if an IPSec-enabled tunnel exists that uses the same
source/local IP address.
Make sure to use the --ping command with a double-dash (--). If the dashes are omitted, a message
displays indicating that the command is deprecated.
The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in
place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for
details.

slot
For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the port to be configured,
