Cable Testing via FortiGate CLI

I know how to use the FortiGate GUI to run a Cable Test diagnostic on a given interface, but I need to know how to do the same thing via FortiGate CLI.  Does anyone know the command for this?

Hello,

 

Could you please elaborate whether you are referring to HQIP or some other test?

I'm referencing what the GUI calls a Cable Test under Diagnostics & Tools. Its the one that tests a given interface to see if there are wire pair issues or shorts on a line.

Hello Brent-BITSLLC,

You can use the below CLI command, I believe this is what you're looking for.

execute switch-controller switch-action cable-diag <switch> portX
Ex: execute switch-controller switch-action cable-diag FSxxxxxxxxxx port1
