PFC Layer 3 Forwarding Engine Tests
TestFibDevices
The TestFibDevices test verifies whether the FIB TCAM and adjacency devices are functional. One FIB
entry is installed on each FIB TCAM device. A diagnostic packet is sent to make sure that the diagnostic
packet is switched by the FIB TCAM entry installed on the TCAM device. This is not an exhaustive
TCAM device test; only one entry is installed on each TCAM device.
Compared to the IPv4FibShortcut and IPv6FibShortcut tests, this test tests all FIB and adjacency devices
Note
using IPv4 or IPv6 packets, depending on your configuration.

TestIPv4FibShortcut
The TestIPv4FibShortcut test verifies the IPV4 FIB forwarding of the Layer 3 forwarding engine is
working properly. One diagnostic IPV4 FIB and adjacency entry is installed and a diagnostic packet is
sent to make sure that the diagnostic packet is forwarded according to rewritten MAC and VLAN
information.
