QSFP Hardware Test Config

The test configuration required to run QSFP hardware tests is modeled as the QsfpServiceConfig Thrift structure, which is defined here.

Key Fields​

QsfpTestConfig​

The QsfpTestConfig struct contains the topology information for your switch.

struct QsfpTestConfig {
  1: list<CabledTestPair> cabledPortPairs;
  2: TransceiverFirmware firmwareForUpgradeTest;
}

Example Configuration

For example, if port eth1/1/1 is connected to eth1/3/1 in 400G-4 optical mode, then QsfpTestConfig will be:

"qsfpTestConfig": {
 "cabledPortPairs": [
   {
     "aPortName": "eth1/1/1",
     "zPortName": "eth1/3/1",
     "profileID": 38
   }
 ]
}

Note: The profileID field is the PortProfileID enum defined in switch_config.thrift here.

General Guidelines for Generating QSFP Hardware Test Config​

  1. Use the QSFP hardware test config of an existing platform as a starting point — QSFP Test Configs.
  2. Replace the mode field in the defaultCommandLineArgs with the name of the platform you are testing.
  3. Replace the cabledPortPairs field according to your topology.
  4. Run tests with the new config.
