Copper test

[Alexandr_P]

Hello! Can Extreme switches make copper test, like "test cable diagnostics"? It's very good solution for access switches? To test is cable broken or not and on which distance. Or some workaround. Thank you!

unfortunately not. I believe it requires some extra features in 21.1.2 to do this.

There is also a GTAC article on it.

I am so glad you brought this up.

There is an option for this on the Extreme, I have seen a GTAC guy do it. I just don't recall the commands.

Hopefully someone can chime in with the correct syntax.
