TEST Port
In-band management activities on the TEST port is provided for basic
configuration and software upgrade tasks in situations where the
Management port is inaccessible.
It is important to note that in-band management through the TEST port
should be performed with low traffic volume so that management
responses have minimal impact on test traffic. With high traffic volume,
management responses might add jitter/latency or dropped packets to
results. When a CLI session is opened on the TEST port, the following
warning message appears:
WARNING: Session opened on the TEST Port. Any action may interfere with traffic.
Not all CLI commands are available on the TEST port.
The
console in-band enable|disable
command controls in-band management on
the test port. By default, in-band management on the test port is enabled.
Refer to console in-band enable|disable on page 62 for more information.
