This section describes how to perform integrated cable tests on copper and

fiber optic cables.

Integrated Cable Test

Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) technology is used to test the quality

and characteristics of a copper cable attached to a port. Cables up to 120

meters long can be tested. Cables can only be tested when the ports are in the

down state, with the exception of Approximated Cable Length test.
This test can only be performed when the port is up and operating at 1 Gbps.
To perform a cable test and view the results:

1 Click System > Diagnostics > Integrated Cable Test: Summary in the

tree view to display the Integrated Cable Test: Summary page.

2 Ensure that both ends of the copper cable are connected to a device.

console(config)# arp 198.133.219.232 00-00-0c-40-0f-bc

console(config)# arp timeout 12000

console(config)# exit

console# show arp

ARP timeout: 12000 Seconds
