Cablediag on Multi-rate Ports

CFaber — Wed, 18 Sep 2019 16:25:48 GMT

We are trying to cablediag a 2,5Gbit-Port and facing an error in both tested version (22.6.1.4 patch 1-8, 22.7.12 patch 1-3). It works with a 1Gbit-Port.

code:

# run diagnostics cable ports 1:1
Do you want to continue cable diagnostics? (y/N) Yes
cablediag: 1.1.0.4

Anyone knows this error or has an idea if this can be fixed?

Hello CFaber,

Have you tried EXOS ver 30.3 ?

code:

* X465-24W.6 # run diagnostics cable ports 1

Hi,

thanks for the quick reply.
Sadly version 30 is not an option as we need a lot of tests before rolling out a new version.

After some time, I gave it a try.
Version 30.3.1.6 still does not work with a X460-16mp-32p - It seems to only work with multi-rate switches of the X465-Series.
