Important Points to Remember
• You can only perform offline diagnostics on an offline standalone unit or offline member unit of a
stack of three or more. You cannot perform diagnostics on the management or standby unit in a stack
of two or more (Message 1).
• Perform offline diagnostics on one stack member at a time.
• Diagnostics only test connectivity, not the entire data path.
• Diagnostic results are stored on the flash of the unit on which you performed the diagnostics.
• When offline diagnostics are complete, the unit or stack member reboots automatically.
Running Offline Diagnostics
1. Place the unit in the offline state using the offline stack-unit command from EXEC Privilege mode, as
shown in Figure 57-1. You cannot enter the command on a Master or Standby stack unit.
