FCoE End to End Echo Test
The end-to-end test enables you send an ECHO command/response sequence between
an adapter port and a target port. (Not available on ESXi systems.)
Note: Not all remote devices respond to an echo command. You cannot run the ECHO
test and the External Loopback test concurrently. If you select the ECHO Test
the External Loopback test is disabled.
Error Action
Enables you to define what is to be done in the event of a test failure. There are two
error action options:

Stop Test – Do not log the error and abort the test. No further tests are run.

Ignore – Log the error and proceed with the next test cycle.
Test Cycles
Enables you to specify test cycles three ways:

Select an established cycle count by clicking on the corresponding radio button.

Enter a custom cycle count in the blank field in the Test Cycles area.

Set the test to run until you manually click Stop Test, by selecting the Infinite
radio button.
Test Pattern
Enter a custom test pattern to be used in tests that transfer data. The test pattern can be
up to 8 hexadecimal bytes.
Test Status
The Test Status area displays how many completed cycles of each test ran, as well as the
number of errors.
To run loopback tests:
1. From the discovery-tree, select the adapter port on which you want to run the
Loopback Test.
2. Select the Diagnostics tab. From the Loopback Test section of the dialog box,
choose the type of Loopback test you want to run and define the loopback test
parameters.
Note: You must insert a loopback plug in the selected adapter before running an
External Loopback test. Also, you must ensure that the NIC function of the
port goes to a link up state. See the Troubleshooting section if the NIC link
fails to come up.
