Do we have option to test the cable from APIC controller ?

[Network_Sarovani]

Hi Experts , 

We could see high CRC errors on one of the interface, So we would like to check if the cable is faulty ? Can we do any test from APIC on the interface ? 

similar test as below which we do on Catalyst switches , Is any command available in LAEF switch CLI or on GUI ?

Test cable-diagnostics tdr interface gi1/0/2

Show cable-diagnostics tdr interface gi1/0/2

What media is this link?  Copper or Fibre Optic?

[Network_Sarovani]

Fiber Optics .

Transceiver Type : 10Gbase-SR
Transceiver Name : CISCO-FINISAR

Catalyst switches cannot perform OTDR test.

Catalyst or Nexus ACI switches ???

[Leo Laohoo]

I do not believe no Cisco product, Catalyst, Nexus, MDS, etc., can do OTDR.

[Network_Sarovani]

on Catalyst switches we can test the cable from below command ,

Test cable-diagnostics tdr interface gi1/0/2

Show cable-diagnostics tdr interface gi1/0/2

Look at the command and it specifies it:  TDR.  

Fibre Optic is OTDR.

There are no tests available, other then verifying the TX/RX power, directly on the leaf:

Stay safe,
