4. Choose one of the two types of port loopback tests to run:
• To run an internal loopback test, type the following command:
test x internal
• To run an external loopback test, type the following command. A loopback plug must be installed for
this test to pass.
test x external
✏ NOTE
The external loopback test can be performed only on external switch module ports.
After the test type has been chosen and the command executed, a message on the screen will appear
detailing the test results.
5. After the test is run, put the port back into online state by typing the following command (
x = port
number):
set port x state online
6. To verify the port is back online, type the following command. The contents of the AdminState field

The online node-to-node test can test only one port at a time, and that port must be online and connected to an
external device or a blade server Fibre Channel expansion card. To run the online node-to-node test, complete
the following steps:

maximum in some cases) parameter is the number of bytes in each frame, and the DataPattern parameter
is the pattern in the payload. Before running the test, make sure that the device attached to the port can
handle the test parameters.
