This page is used for running the Cable Diagnostics.
Press to run the diagnostics. This will take approximately 5 seconds. If all ports are selected, this can take approximately 15
seconds. When completed, the page refreshes automatically, and you can view the cable diagnostics results in the cable status
table. Note that Cable Diagnostics is only accurate for cables of length 7 - 140 meters.
10 and 100 Mbps ports will be linked down while running cable diagnostic. Therefore, running cable diagnastic on a 10 or 100
Mbps management port will cause the switch to stop responding until VeriPHY is complete. The ports belong to the currently
selected stack unit, as reflected by the page header. The VeriPHY Cable Diagnostics screen in
Figure 4-15-4
appears.
