Perform a Cable Test
Use the Cable Test page to display information about the cables that are connected to switch
ports. The cable test is effective for interfaces that can operate at 1G, 2.5G, 5G or 10 Gbps
speed.
To perform a cable test:
1.
Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2.
Launch a web browser.
3.
In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see
The login window opens.
4.
Enter the switch’s password in the
Password
field.
The default password is
password
.
The System Information page displays.
5.
Select
Monitoring > Ports > Cable Test
.
The Cable Test page displays.
6.
Select the check boxes that are associated with the physical ports for which you want to test
the cables.
7.
Click the
Apply
button.
A cable test is performed on all selected ports. The cable test might take up to two
seconds to complete. If the port forms an active link with a device, the cable status is
always Normal. The test returns a cable length estimate if this feature is supported by the
PHY for the current link speed. Note that if the link is down and a cable is attached to a
10/100 Ethernet adapter, the cable status might be Open Cable or Short Cable because
some Ethernet adapters leave unused wire pairs unterminated or grounded.
