    POST runs differently depending on the startup method. A power cycle (disconnecting from power and reconnecting to power) is considered a cold start. All other starts from a powered-on state (such as restart or panic) are considered warm starts. From a cold start condition, executing a POST runs the long version of ramTest. From a warm start condition, executing a POST runs a shorter version of ramTest.

  • Page 173 This command behaves differently according to the modes activated as follows: switchEnable or switchDisable mode v Online mode In the online mode, where the hub is enabled prior to executing the test, the test only tests ports that are cable-loopbacked to ports in the same hub.

A port with a changing LLI_errs value is prefixed by ** in the display. portLoopbackTest Verifies the intended functional operation of the hub by sending frames from each port’s transmitter back to the same port’s receiver through an internal hardware loopback.
  • Page 176 The state of the GBIC mode is saved in flash and stays activated (even after restarts or power on and off cycles) until it is disabled as follows: sw:admin> setGbicMode 0 An example mode of operation is to disable the hub, set the GBIC mode to 1, and execute the spinSilk command which would limit its testing to: v All ports with GBIC and embedded optics present.
