Ethernet Controller Tests
The availability of Ethernet controller tests depends on the Enternet controller installed
in the Xserve.
Data loop tests can add to network trac. Consider disconnecting from the network
before running the data loop tests.
Test Estimated completion time Description
MAC Address Verication 1 second Veries MAC address is not all
FFs or 00s.
Ethernet ROM Checksum 1 second Veries Ethernet ROM checksum
is valid.
MAC Loopback 1 minute Veries that there’s no data
mismatch between sent and
received data while looping
within the MAC (a sublayer of
the datalink layer in the ISO
network reference model).
PHY 1000 Loopback 20 seconds per port, 40 seconds
total
Veries that there’s no data
mismatch between sent and
received data while looping
