This section describes the Ethernet switch menu which tests the failover assistance switch. The Ethernet switch diagnostic tests can generate error messages associated with the hardware and software.
Note: Tests that are labeled [Xtnd]
often require loopback plugs for complete test operation and will indicate
failures without these plugs.
Caution: Disconnect all network connections prior to running network
diagnostics in [Xtnd] mode. Running with attached
networks can adversely affect other attached devices. Type xtnd
n to cancel Extended test mode.
