Cisco Catalyst 9500 User Manual

Generic Online Diagnostics (GOLD) Tests
• Before you enable online diagnostics tests, enable console logging to see all the warning messages.
• While tests are running, all the ports are shut down because a stress test is being performed with looping
ports internally, and external traffic might affect the test results. Reboot the switch to bring it to normal
operation. When you run the command to reload a switch, the system will ask you if the configuration
should be saved. Do not save the configuration.
• If you are running tests on other modules, after a test is initiated and complete, you must reset the module.
