1 RapidIO Network Management and Diagnostics... Is now even easier! Release 1.1

2 Overview RapidIO Discovery and Diagnostic Basics Loopback Diagnostic Mode (NEW) Multiple Simultaneous Routing paths (New)

3 Controlling the Active Discovery Process Select Discovery options such as: Lock PE s for multi-host environments Pre-set Destination IDs to look for already enumerated devices that fail to comply with the RapidIO spec s requirement to respond to a request using Dest ID 0xFF Scan all link frequencies until a trained device is found (3-5 different link speeds) Large vs Small transport Etc Select enumeration options such as: Host ID ID of first PE found Increment for each PE found Select Routing table Initialization settings such as: Upload or generate and download all routing table settings

7 Overview RapidIO Network Management and Diagnostic Basics Loopback Diagnostic Mode (New) Multiple Simultaneous Routing paths (New)

8 Loopback Diagnostic Mode First step to setting up a loopback test is to Discover your test system using Virtual Destination IDs Virtual Destination IDs is a new technique FET has developed of assigning Destination IDs to switches and Endpoints that allow you to create multiple independent routing paths through your network

9 Loopback Diagnostic Mode You can select a path between any two Endpoints including a loop back path from an endpoint back to itself using the DestID as the source and the Virtual DestID as the target.

10 Loopback Diagnostic Mode Then press the Bidirectional Route button to add this customized routing path. A loopback path is only possible when you select a Virtual Destination ID (VDID) as the destination.

11 Loopback Diagnostic Mode Verify the path by selecting the Node1 as the source and the Node1 again as the destination. Select the appropriate DID and VDID pair. And the route will be highlighted in Blue if the routing tables were e properly modified.

12 Loopback Testing You can also verify the path explicitly by looking at the routing tables. This example shows the ingress port routing tables around the loop for Virtual Destination ID 5.

13 Loopback Testing See traffic with Performance Monitors Generate traffic around the loop

14 Loopback Testing If you put a known data sequence in the Traffic Generator output buffer, you can verify that the correct data is being received. In this example, the RapidFET Probe2 is being used to generate traffic. Its data output buffer is located at 0x

15 Loopback Testing Verify the location where the data from received packets are being written (0x801000) to see that it matches the know data pattern

16 Overview RapidIO Network Management and Diagnostic Basics Loopback Diagnostic Mode (NEW) Multiple Simultaneous Routing paths (Adaptive Routing) (New)

17 Adaptive Routing Route1: DID:Ah to DID:5h Route2: DID:Ah to VDID:6h Route3: DID:Ah to VDID:7h VDID : 06h, 07h

18 Adaptive Routing Route1: DID:Ah to DID:5h Route2: DID:Ah to VDID:6h Route3: DID:Ah to VDID:7h All reverse routes in order to create full duplex paths are also possible when you also assign VDIDs to Card1 VDID : 0Bh, 0CH VDID : 06h, 07h

19 Adaptive Routing and Loopback System Monitoring Further, you can add a loopback path for a host to monitor the entire switch card in real time as a maintenance function VDID : 0Bh, 0CH VDID : 06h, 07h VDID : 12h Loopback and Adaptive routing are now possible in RapidIO by using Virtual Destination IDs and RapidFET Professional
