Broadcom Confidential and Proprietary
faults (shorts or opens). This test is used during manufacturing in order to detect
board/system build issues on the line/analog side of the Ethernet controller.
Default: Disabled (available only on NetXtreme controllers with IPSec support)
3.6 Carrier Tests
3.6.1 E1. 1G Wire Open/Short (** ZERO LEN LB RJ45 **) Test
Command: nictest e1
Function: An external loopback test is performed at 10/100/1000 Mbits/s. A zero length
loopback connector is placed at the RJ45 connector of the LOM/NIC. After running the
loopback test at 1000 Mbits/s the line signal quality is tested order to catch line faults (shorts
or opens). This test is used during manufacturing in order to detect board/system build issues
on the line/analog side of the Ethernet controller.
Default: Disabled
NOTE: The following tests in test groups F and G are only enabled for NetXtreme Ethernet
Controllers which support the Application Processing Engine (APE).
3.7 APE Registers Tests – F Group
3.7.1 F1. Indirect APE Ctrl Register Test
Command: nictest f1
Function: Using indirect addressing method, incremented data is written into APE control
registers and read back for verification. The memory read/write is done 100 times while
incrementing test data.
Default: Disabled
3.7.2 F2. APE Control Register Test
Command: nictest f2
Function: Each Register specified in the APE control register block is tested for read only
bits and read/write bits. The test writes zeroes and ones into the test bits to insure the read
only bits are not changed, and read/write bits are changed accordingly.
Default: Disabled
