Handling Flash Memory Cards to Prevent Static Damage
Always use an antistatic wrist strap when handling flash memory cards; static
electricity can damage them.
Responding to a Failed prom Command
If you reboot after the
prom
command fails, a Nortel Networks representative
must insert new PROM (programmable read-only memory) components on the
router baseboard and write new PROM software to them before the router can
recover.
Preparing to Troubleshoot
The following sections describe how to prepare to troubleshoot router problems:
• “Getting Acquainted with the Troubleshooting Tools”
•“Taking a Snapshot of Your Network
”
Getting Acquainted with the Troubleshooting Tools
Troubleshooting is much more complicated when you have to solve a problem that
requires an urgent solution, and at the same time learn how to use the tools to
solve the problem. Read this section and familiarize yourself with the tools before
you begin troubleshooting. The instructions later in this guide assume you can use
the tools described in this section.
Read the following sections:
•“Using the System Log to Display Event Messages
”
•“Displaying and Changing Configuration Settings and Statistics
”
•“Using the ping Command
”
•“Using the Packet Capture Tool
”
•“Using Inbound Telnet to Access the Technician Interface
”
Caution:
If the Technician Interface
prom
command fails, do not reboot.
Instead, call the Nortel Networks Technical Solutions Center.
