pathInfo

2

destination_port

Specifies the port on the destination switch for the path being traced. This
operand returns the state of this port. The embedded port (-1) is used by
default, or if you specify a destination port that is not active. The destination
is specified as the port index.

"-r"

Displays the reverse path in addition to the forward path. This operand is
optional.

-t

Displays the command output in traceroute format. When this operand is
used, only routing information is displayed. The output includes the time it
takes, in microseconds, to reach each hop. Basic and extended statistics are
not available in the traceroute format.

When executed without operands, pathInfo runs interactively. Specifying a destination switch is
required; the values for the source and destination ports can be -1 to indicate the embedded port.
Reverse-path tracing is optional. In addition, this command prompts for the following parameters:

max hops

The maximum number of hops that the pathInfo frame is allowed to traverse;
the default is 25.

Fabric Id

Specifies the Fabric ID. If unspecified, the value defaults to -1 (Default switch
FID 128)

basic stats

Whether basic statistics are generated on every link; the default is no.

extended stats

Whether basic statistics are generated on every link; the default is no.

source route

Specifies a sequence of switches or ports that the pathInfo frame should
traverse; the default is no. If an output port to the next hop is specified, you
are not prompted for the domain of the next switch. The domain is
determined by the port.

strict source rte

Specifies a strict source route, skipping intermediate switches. When using
this option, the source route hops must be specified using the domain rather
than the output port.

Timeout

The maximum time allowed waiting for the response in milliseconds. The
default is 10000 milliseconds.

Examples

To display basic path information to a specific domain in command line mode:
