Supported Standards, MIBs, and RFCs
Feature Overview
With the Cisco 7300 Series Power-On Diagnostics feature you can configure your Cisco 7300 series router to run diagnostic tests on the installed network services engines (NSEs) installed in your system. Use the diagnostic level power-on command to enable power on diagnostics. The power-on diagnostics run only when the system is in the process of booting from a power on or is rebooting after a system crash. User-initiated system reloads do not initiate power on diagnostics to be performed though the diagnostic level power-on command has been configured.
Note
Table 1 lists possible error messages which may be generated upon reboot when Power-On Diagnostics is enabled.

Configuring Power-On Diagnostics Example
The following example shows how to enable power-on diagnostic tests for the NSEs installed in a Cisco 7300 series router:
diagnostic level power-onWhen power-on diagnostic tests are enabled, output similar to the following is displayed upon system reboot after a router crash or power cycle:

This section documents the new command introduced by this feature. All other commands used with this feature are documented in the Cisco IOS Release 12.1 command reference publications, and in the document Cisco 7304 Series Platform-Specific Commands.
diagnostic level
To turn on power-on diagnostic tests for the network service engines (NSEs) installed in a Cisco 7300 series router, use the diagnostic level command in privileged EXEC configuration mode. There is no no form of this command.
diagnostic level {power-on | bypass}
Syntax Description
power-on
Power-on diagnostic tests are performed at system bootup on the NSEs.
bypass
No diagnostic tests are performed. This is the default.
Defaults
No diagnostic tests are performed.
Command Modes
Privileged EXEC
Command History
12.1(10)EX2
This command was introduced.
12.2(18)S
This command was introduced on Cisco 7304 routers running Cisco IOS Release 12.2 S.
Usage Guidelines
Use this command to enable power-on diagnostic tests to run on the installed NSEs of a Cisco 7300 series router when the system is booted. It is recommended that you issue this command only if you are experiencing problems with an NSE and are planning on rebooting the router. Issuing this command causes an increase in the boot time.
Examples
The following example shows how to enable diagnostic power-on tests:
