request diagnostics tdr
Syntax request diagnostics tdr (abort | start) interface interface-name
Release Information Command introduced in Junos OS Release 9.0 for EX Series switches.
Description Start a time domain reflectometry (TDR) diagnostic test on the specified interface. This
test characterizes and locates faults on twisted-pair Ethernet cables. For example, it can
detect a broken twisted pair and provide the approximate distance to the break. It can
also detect polarity swaps, pair swaps, and excessive skew.
The TDR test is supported on the following switches and interfaces:
• EX2200, EX3200, EX3300, and EX4200 switches—RJ-45 network interfaces. The TDR
test is not supported on management interfaces and SFP interfaces.
• EX6200 and EX8200 switches—RJ-45 interfaces on line cards.
NOTE: We recommend running the TDR test when there is no traffic on the
interface under test.
You view the results of the TDR test with the show diagnostics tdr command.
Options abort—Stop the TDR test currently in progress on the specified interface. No results are
reported, and previous results, if any, are cleared.
interface-name—The name of the interface.
start—Start a TDR test on the specified interface.
