Diagnostic Commands

DPortTest

Notes:

This command is only supported for LPe16000 Fibre Channel adapters

connected to D_Port-enabled Brocade switches.

D_Port should not be enabled on the switch port.

D_Port, also called ClearLink, is a set of diagnostic tests that allows you to detect

physical cabling issues that result in increased error rates and intermittent behavior.
The DPortTest command runs a series of tests including local electrical loopback,

loopback to the remote optics, loopback from the remote port to the local optics, and a

full-device loopback test with data integrity checks. It also provides an estimate of cable

length, from the switch to the adapter, to validate that a proper buffering scheme is in

place.
The various tests allow some fault isolation, so you can distinguish faults that are the

result of marginal cables, optics modules, as well as, connectors or optics seating. If the

adapter, firmware, SFP, or switch do not support D_Port testing, an error is generated.

Notes:

D_Port tests run with the physical connection in an offline diagnostic state, so

normal I/O cannot be sent through the physical port while the test is in

progress. While the port is in D_Port mode, the link will appear down on that

port; similar to an unplugged cable.

The DPortTest command only runs in on-demand mode with the host initiating

the tests with the switch.

WWPN

The WWPN of an FCoE function on a port.

MAC

The MAC address of a function on a port.

PFC

The PFC priority that is a comma-separated list of up to eight

values, ranging from 0–7.

PG0-PG7

Priority group membership that is a comma-separated list of

priorities ranging from 0–7. Each set of priorities for a group must

be separated by a space. All priorities (0–7) must be assigned to

some PGID.

PG15

PG15 group membership (required on RoCE ports only)
