Troubleshooting Other Networking Protocols
This section assumes that you have isolated a problem to a network protocol. If
not, refer to Chapter 2 to determine whether these instructions apply to your
problem.
Troubleshoot network-layer protocols 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 protocol in question.
The Technician Interface command is
log -fftwid -e
<ENTITY>
-s
<slot_no.>
When specifying the
<ENTITY>
, use uppercase letters. Refer to Event
Messages for Routers and BNX Platforms for a list of the entities.
Example
If you are filtering events from the XNS entity running in Slots 3 and 4, you
enter
log -fftwid -eXNS -s3 -s4
2.
Check the base records.
For example, if the networking software with which you are having a problem
is XNS, enter
get wfXnsBase.*.0 to check the status of the XNS software.
The most important attributes are
• The State attribute shows whether the protocol is up (1), down (2),
initializing (3), or not present (4).
You cannot change this setting.
• The Create or Delete attribute reveals whether the network software is
created (1) or deleted (2).
• The Enable or Disable attribute reveals whether the protocol is enabled
(1) or disabled (2).
