SYNOPSIS

fcippathtest
[--slot slot]
[-lb_mode mode]

DESCRIPTION

Use this command to verify the data paths in the FCIP complex. All data path modes run tests by
comparing Fibre Channel frames or data packets transmitted from and received by the network
processor due to the designated loopback.

This command is supported only on the Brocade 7800/FX8-24 platforms.

Executing this command causes the switch or blade to reboot.

place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for
details.
