2.2.67. selftest

Run appliance self tests.

Description

The appliance self tests are used to verify the correct function of hardware components.

IMPORTANT: In order for a selftest result to be reliable the test must be run using a default
configuration and having the SGW disconnected from any networks.

IMPORTANT: Normal SGW operations might be disrupted during the test(s).

The outcome of the throughput crypto accelerator tests are dependent on configuration values.
If the number of large buffers (LocalReassSettings->LocalReass_NumLarge) too low, it might
lower throughput result. In the field 'Drop/Fail', the 'Drop' column contains the number of
packets that were dropped before ever reaching the crypto accelerator and the 'Fail' column
contains the number of packets that for some reason failed encryption. The 'Pkt In/Out' field
shows the total number of packets sent to, and returned from the accelerator.

The interface tests 'traffic' and 'throughput' are dependent on the settings for the NIC ring sizes
and possibly also license limitations. The 'traffic' test uses a uniform random distribution of six
packet sizes between 60 and 1518 bytes. The content of each received packet is validated. The
'throughput' test uses only the largest packet size, and does not validate the contents of the
received packets.

Example 2.13. Interface ping test between all interfaces

selftest -ping

Example 2.14. Interface ping test between interfaces 'if1' and 'if2'

selftest -ping -interfaces=if1,if2

Example 2.15. Start 30 min burn-in, testing RAM, storage media and crypto accelerator

selftest -burnin -minutes 30 -media -memory -cryptoaccel
