The switchShow command also displays the following information for ports on the specified
switch:
The details displayed for each switch differ on different switch models. For more information see
the switchShow command in the Fabric OS Command Reference.
Displaying the uptime for a switch
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the uptime command:
ecp:admin> uptime
10:50:19 up 11 days, 6:28, 1 user, load average: 0.49, 0.53, 0.54
The uptime command displays the length of time the system has been in operation, the total
cumulative amount of uptime since the system was first powered on, and the load average
over the past one minute (1.29 in the preceding example), five minutes (1.31 in the example),
and 15 minutes (1.27 in the example). The reason for the last switch reboot is also recorded in
the system message log.
SpinFab and portTest
The spinFab command is an online diagnostics command to verify the ISL links between switches
at the maximum speed. It is done by setting up the routing functionality in the hardware such that
the test frames received by E_Port are retransmitted on the same E_Port. Several frames are then
sent to the port attached to each active E_Port specified. These frames are special frames which
never occur during normal traffic and the default action for such frames is to route them back to
the sender. These frames are circulated between switches until the test stops them.
Index Index follows Area up to 255. Then it continues to the maximum port of the
platform. Index identifies the port number relative to the switch. Index column
is only displayed on enterprise-class platforms.
Slot Slot number; 1-4 and 7-10.
Port Port number; 0-15, 0-31 or 0-47.
Address The 24-bit Address Identifier. Address column is only displayed on
enterprise-class platforms.
Media SFP types used.
Speed The speed of the Port (1G, 2G, 4G, 8G, 10G, N1, N2, N4, N8, AN, UN). The
speed can be fixed, negotiated, or auto-negotiated.
State The port status.
Proto Protocol support by GbE port.
