port - Port number. (Range: 25-26)
COMMAND MODE
Privileged Exec
COMMAND USAGE
â—† 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.
â—† This cable test is only accurate for Gigabit Ethernet cables 0 - 250
meters long.
â—† 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.
â—† Potential conditions which may be listed by the diagnostics include:
â–
OK: Correctly terminated pair
â–
Open: Open pair, no link partner
â–
Short: Shorted pair
â–
Not Supported: This message is displayed for Gigabit Ethernet ports
linked up at a speed lower than 1000 Mbps.
â–
Impedance mismatch: Terminating impedance is not in the
reference range.
