ethernet unit/port
unit - Unit identifier. (Range: 1)
port - Port number. (Range: 25-26)
COMMAND MODE
Privileged Exec
COMMAND USAGE
◆ Cable diagnostics are performed using Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
test methods. DSP analyses the cable by sending a pulsed signal into
the cable, and then examining the reflection of that pulse.
◆ This cable test is only accurate for Gigabit Ethernet cables 0 - 250
meters long.
◆ The test takes approximately 5 seconds. The switch displays the results
of the test immediately upon completion, including common cable
failures, as well as the status and approximate length of each cable
pair.
◆ Potential conditions which may be listed by the diagnostics include:
■
OK: Correctly terminated pair
■
Open: Open pair, no link partner
■
Short: Shorted pair
■
Not Supported: This message is displayed for Gigabit Ethernet ports
linked up at a speed lower than 1000 Mbps.
■
Impedance mismatch: Terminating impedance is not in the
reference range.
