E-Series TeraScale Debugging and Diagnostics | 1091
Important points to remember
• Offline diagnostics can be run only on an offline line card and on a standby route processor module
(RPM). The primary RPM is not tested.
• Diagnostics test only connectivity and not the entire data path.
• A line card must be put into an offline state before diagnostics are run.
• Complete diagnostics test suite normally runs for 5 to 7 minutes on a single port-pipe line card and 12
to 15 minutes on a dual port-pipe line card. Running diagnostics on LC-EF-GE-90M cards may take
slightly longer.
Offline configuration task list
Use the following steps to run offline diagnostics on the E-Series. This procedure assumes the FTOS
image is installed.
1. Place the line card in an offline state with the
offline linecard command. Use the show linecard
command to confirm the new status.
2. Start diagnostics on the line card with the
diag command. The system will confirm that diagnostics
tests are running by displaying the syslog message shown below.
3. Execute the
show diag command to view a report of the test results.
4. Report any test failures to your Dell Force10 technical support engineer.
5. Bring the card back online with the
online linecard {slot#} command. The card will be reset.
