Verifying and Tracing Fibre Channel Connections
You can verify Fibre Channel connections between the switch and the fabric and
display routing information. Enter the Fcping command to verify a Fibre Channel
connection to a switch or a device as shown in the following example. The target
device can be defined as a Fibre Channel address or a WWN.
SANbox #> fcping 970400 count 3
28 bytes from local switch to 0x970400 time = 10 usec
28 bytes from local switch to 0x970400 time = 11 usec
28 bytes from local switch to 0x970400 time = 119 usec
The following is an example of a connection failure:
SANbox #> fcping 0x113344 count 3
28 bytes from local switch to 0x113344 failed
Enter the Fctrace command to display Fibre Channel routing information between
two devices as shown in the following example. The devices can be defined as
Fibre Channel addresses or WWNs.
SANbox#> fctrace 970400 970e00 hops 5
36 bytes from 0x970400 to 0x970e00, 5 hops max
Domain Ingress Port WWN Port Egress Port WWN Port
