Viewing transceiver information for copper transceivers with VCT support
This feature provides the ability to view diagnostic monitoring information for copper transceivers with Virtual Cable Test (VCT) support. The cable quality of the copper cables connected between transceivers can be ascertained using the transceiver cable diagnostics. Results of the diagnostics are displayed with the appropriate CLI show commands and with SNMP using the hpicfTransceiver MIB.
The J8177C 1000Base-T Mini-GBIC is supported.
Testing the Cable
Enter the test cable-diagnostics
command
in any context to begin cable diagnostics for the transceiver. The
diagnostic attempts to identify cable faults. The tests may take a
few seconds to complete for each interface. There is the potential
of link loss during the diagnostic.
Syntax:
test cable-diagnostics
[port-list]
Invokes cable diagnostics and displays the results.
Output from test cable-diagnostics command
