Troubleshooting AppleTalk
This section assumes that you have isolated a problem to AppleTalk. If not, refer
to Chapter 2 to determine whether these instructions apply to your problem.
Troubleshoot AppleTalk problems as follows:
1. Use the Events Manager or the Technician Interface to filter the log to
display messages of all severity levels for AppleTalk.
The Technician Interface command is
log -fftwid -eAT -s
<slot_no.>
Example
If you are filtering events from Slots 3 and 4, you enter
log -fftwid -eAT -s3 -s4
2.
Enter the following command to check the base records:
get wfAppleBase.*.0
The most important attributes are
• The State attribute shows whether AppleTalk is up (1), down (2),
initializing (3), or not present (4). You cannot change this setting.
• The Disable attribute reveals whether AppleTalk is enabled (1) or disabled
(2).
3. Check the values of the following statistics twice and compare them to
determine whether AppleTalk is currently receiving and transmitting
packets, 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 protocols
associated with the same connector and the same slot.
— Try disabling and enabling AppleTalk, and watch the log messages to
determine why the connection will not come up.
• The error statistics
4. Make sure that the next hop and network you are trying to reach are in
the routing table entries.
