portLedTest

Cycles user port LEDs.

Synopsis

portledtest [-npass count][-ports itemlist][-action value]

ceeportledtest [-npass count][-ports itemlist][-action value]

Description

Use this command to exercise the user port LEDs in the current switch. For each port, the
command cycles through the ON and OFF state by setting the ATTN LEDs to green for the ON
condition and unlighted for the OFF condition. The SPEED LEDs are initially set to black before the
test starts. The SPEED LEDs turn green while the test is running.

portLedTest and ceePortLedTest are platform-specific versions of the same test. Use
ceePortLedTest on FCoE platforms only. Use fcipLedTest for GbE port testing on the Brocade 7800
and FX8-24.On all other platforms, use portLedTest.

You must disable the current switch (using the switchDisable command) before running this
command. After the command completes, the ATTN LEDs flash amber, indicating that the
command has finished and exited. Enable the current switch (using the switchEnable command) to
set the ATTN LEDs back to black.

Notes

The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may
be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS commands" and Appendix A, "Command
