Troubleshooting Other Data Link Protocols
This section assumes that you have isolated a problem to a data link connection. If
not, refer to Chapter 2 to determine whether these instructions apply to your
problem.
Troubleshoot a data link protocol not mentioned previously in this chapter as
follows:
1. Use the Events Manager or the Technician Interface to filter the log to
display messages of all severity levels for the media in question.
The Technician Interface command is
log -fftwid -e
<ENTITY>
-s
<slot_no.>
Example
If you are filtering events from the HSSI entity running in Slots 3 and 4, you
enter
log -fftwid -eHSSI -s3 -s4
When specifying the
<ENTITY>
, use uppercase letters. Refer to Event
Messages for Routers and BNX Platforms for a list of the entities.
2. Check the state of the media.
3. Check the values of the following statistics twice and compare them to
determine whether the media is currently receiving and transmitting
frames, and generating errors:
• The reception and transmission statistics
If the reception or transmission statistics do not change, do the following:
— Check the reception and transmission statistics of the other ports in
the same slot.
— Try disabling and enabling the port, and watch the log messages to
determine why the connection will not come up.
• The error statistics
4. Look at the forwarding tables of each router in the path to determine
• Whether entries exist
• Whether the next-hop addresses are in the right direction
