nettest run cable-swap
Runs the cable swap test.
Syntax
nettest run cable-swap
Parameters
None
Usage
Ensures that the WAN and LAN cables on the SteelHead are connected to the LAN and WAN of the network. The test enumerates the results by interface (one row entry per pair of bypass interfaces).
By default, this test is disabled.
Certain network topologies might cause an incorrect result for this test. For the following topologies, Riverbed recommends that you confirm the test result manually:
• SteelHeads deployed in virtual in-path mode.
• Server-side SteelHeads that receive significant amounts of traffic from nonoptimized sites.
• SteelHeads that sit in the path between other SteelHeads that are optimizing traffic.
If the test fails, ensure a straight-through cable is not in use between an appliance port and a router, or that a crossover cable is not in use between an appliance port and a switch.
