A-2 Riverstone Networks RS 8000/8600 Switch Router Getting Started Guide
A specific line card is inactive. Make sure the line card is inserted all the way into
the chassis and the captive screws are screwed in.
The chassis LEDs indicate activity but you
cannot tell what the RS is doing.
Make sure you have properly connected the
primary Control Module to a management
console and the console is powered on.
An older software version continues to boot
instead of the newer version on a PC card or
TFTP server.
Use the procedure in Section 5.1, "Upgrading
System Image Software" to configure the RS to
boot using newer software.
You are unable to access the configuration
commands in the CLI.
Enter the enable command to access the Enable
mode, then enter the configure command to
access the Configuration mode.
Configuration changes do not seem to be
taking effect.
Use the procedure in Section 4.3.1, "Activating
the Configuration Commands in the Scratchpad"
to activate the changes.
Configuration changes are not reinstated after
a reboot.
Use the procedure in Section 4.3.2, "Saving the
Active Configuration to the Startup Configuration
File" to save the configuration changes to the
Startup configuration file.
The RS is not resolving DNS names. Use the procedure in Section 4.7, "Setting the
DNS Domain Name and Address" to set up DNS.
If you have already performed this procedure,
make sure you can use NS lookup on the DNS
server to get the default domain.
An SNMP manager cannot access the RS. Use the procedure in Section 4.6, "Setting Up
SNMP" to set up an SNMP community string and
specify a target for SNMP traps.
If you have already performed this procedure,
enter the snmp show all command to check the
SNMP settings.
Use the traceroute and ping commands to verify
that the RS can reach the SNMP management
station.
You are unable to ping a certain host. Create and add an IP or IPX interface for the host.
See the Riverstone RS Switch Router User Guide
for information.
