Abstract: Non-disruptive integrated testing of network infrastructure in which one or more processors of a first network interface device (NID) performs tests on a network cable connected to a first NID of a host system, and connected to a second NID. Tests verify connectivity of the cable, a bandwidth capacity baseline, and a maximum bandwidth of the network cable. A self-test determines the host operating system, host status, and operational status of the host NID, and responsive to changed conditions, NID settings are reverted to a pre-validated condition state, and confirmation of reverting is sent to the host. Network activity is suspended if received by the host ID during scheduled network cable tests. Upon completion of tests and storing of test results in NID memory network activity resumes. Results of the tests are transferred from memory of the first NID to persistent storage of the host system.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system for non-disruptive integrated testing of network infrastructure is provided. A computer processor on a first network interface device that performs a set of tests on a network cable of a network infrastructure, a first end of the network cable is connected to the first network interface device of a host system, and a second end of the network cable is connected to a second network interface device. The computer processor suspends performance of the set of tests, in response to network activity requests received by the first network interface device. The computer processor resumes performance of the set of tests, in response to completion of the network activity. The computer processor stores results of the set of tests in compartmentalized memory, and the computer processor generates a report including the results of the set of tests.
