TDR or similar cable test diagnostics

[Eduardo_Mendiza]

Hello everyone,

I would like to know if the summit series has any TDR functionalities or similiar failure detection features on copper cables. I know the summit series has a run diagnostics command, but, from what I've read, it only tests ASIC and packet loopback.

Cheers.

Ed

This is related to the below cablediagnostic output:

code:

port 2: cable (4 pairs, length +/- 10 meters)
 pair A Ok, length 0 meters
 pair B Ok, length 0 meters
 pair C Ok, length 0 meters
 pair D Ok, length 0 meters

@John: Good question ! (i hope it will be answered)
otherwise you have to test it by modifying a patch cable.

Any news after 10 months ?

Extreme is working on a central document web page for engineering created documentation.

api.extremenetworks.com

unfortunately, it is not enabled to be visible outside of Extreme just yet.

Until this is working, I've updated github with the doc for cablediag 1.1.0.3

Hi Dave,
It seems that there are some changes in Cable Diagnostics 1.1.0.3.

Having a short look into "User Documentation" will only deleiver a HTML Error:
404: Not Found

Test this feature with X440-G2 48 Ports - it does not work ;-(
GTAC Case 01327221

Other Switches X450-G2 or X440 24Port models working well.

I hope cablediag.py will be a standard CLI command in near future.
