APPENDIX Troubleshooting In this Appendix n Communication Related Issues n LAN Related Issues n Diagnostics and Performance Tools - Verification - Statistics System Reports
Troubleshooting Communication Related Issues Communication Related Issues Excessive Triggered Update Events on the Events screen This generally is an indication that the network is changing due to the addition or deletion of hardware. Once the information has been exchanged, these events should subside. If this continues, it may indicate that the number of networks or servers on the LAN exceed the Router’s table capacity.
Troubleshooting LAN Related Issues Unable to connect to anything outside the LAN from LAN host Ping the Router LAN IP address Is the ping successful No No Verify cabling is correct (straight cable if connected to a switch or hub, crossover if connected to a NIC) Is the Link LED green Yes Yes Change IP address and/or subnet mask No Host & LAN IP in the same subnet Yes Reboot host and reinitialize router Statistics:Run-Time Check Remote Conns No WAN packets received and transmitted No Remote Conns
Troubleshooting LAN Related Issues Unable to access the Local (LAN) Router unit via Telnet First, verify that the local Router was given an IP Address that is on the same network as the workstation. Since Telnet uses the IP protocol, establish that IP is functioning correctly by “pinging” the local unit from the workstation or by pinging the workstation from the local unit. Pinging will verify that there is communication between the workstation and the Router.
Troubleshooting Diagnostics and Performance Tools Diagnostics and Performance Tools The Verification, Statistics and System Reports features are instrumental in diagnosing and troubleshooting the Router card. IP Router - Release 1.
Troubleshooting Diagnostics and Performance Tools Verification The Verification section may be used to identify suspected communication problems between the local and remote devices. Verification options are: Ping Utility Verifies the ability of the local unit to communicate by pinging remote or local devices. See Ping Utility on page 7-2 for more information on this feature. Trace Route The Trace Route option is used to verify timely and reliable connections.
Troubleshooting Diagnostics and Performance Tools System Reports The System Reports menu presents data that may be useful in identifying WAN communication problems. Events The Events listing offers on-going historical activity for the Router, while the Alarm listing indicates events that suggest further investigation. See Events on page 9-2 for more information regarding this feature. Alarms This screen provides a listing of any Alarms that have occurred on the Router.
Troubleshooting Alarms Alarms Identify Alarm Alarm indicators l Router LEDs - When an Alarm is triggered, the Router LED (labeled CRD) will display a red indicator light, which will stay on until the Alarm is cleared The following chart describes each LED, and it’s state, of the Router card.
Troubleshooting Alarms Display Alarms To display Router alarms: On the Main Menu, System Reports option select , or use the [SPACEBAR] to scroll to Alarms if it not displayed. This Window provides a listing of any Alarms that have occurred on the Router. Each Alarm is listed separately and the Count field will display a value of 1. See Alarms on page 9-4 for more information regarding this feature. IP Router - Release 1.
Troubleshooting Alarms Clear Alarm Once an alarm is identified then the process of clearing it can begin. l l l l l C-10 Silence Alarm, if necessary (Alarm Cut Off CLI command: aco) Check Connection Check Cable, replace if necessary Check hardware and replace if necessary Call Customer Service IP Router - Release 1.
