Network and Switch Troubleshooting

where [System Name] is the network name of the remote system to which you are testing connectivity
or
tracert [IP Address]
where [IP Address] is the IP address of the remote system to which you are testing connectivity
To run the tracert command:
1. Open an MS-DOS command prompt window (click Start > Run and type
cmd
).
2. At the command line, type the tracert command (for example,
tracert 192.168.10.5
).
The tracert result should resemble the following:
If your network is configured correctly, the tracert result will show only one entry and then indicate that the
trace is complete. More than one entry indicates that the traffic is going through a router and is appropriate for
a test of a Zone 3 client, which significantly affects performance. More than one entry is appropriate for a test
of a Zone 3 client.
If your tracert result shows more than one entry, most likely there is an incorrect IP address or subnet mask
configuration on the local host.
Sluggish Switch Performance On the Dell Networking S25
Avid recommends the following configuration setting specifically on the Dell Networking S25 switch to optimize
the switch memory buffers for use in dedicated storage networks. If you feel that your Dell Networking switch has
become sluggish, use the following information to verify the buffer size. If your buffer does not match the
following information, reload the Avid configuration file; see
“Restoring From Flash Memory” on page 60.
Type the following command to show the buffer profile details for 1 Gb ports.
To verify your 1 Gb port buffer size:
1. Use your terminal emulation program or telnet into switch.
2. Type

3. Type
sh buffer-profile detail int gig 0/1
