Viewing Trunk Group Component Properties
You can view the properties of trunk group components of a Cisco MGC node such as:
•Configuration
•Status
•SIP attributes (Cisco MGC Release 9 and later)
Use the following procedure to view trunk group component properties:
Step 1 In the Map Viewer, do one of the following:
•To view information for all trunk group components, select the Trunking folder, and right-click. Choose Trunk Group Properties.
•To view information for a particular trunk group component, under the Trunking folder select the desired component, and right-click. Choose Trunk Group Properties.
The dialog box displays information on the selected component's properties. See the "About the Trunk Group Properties Dialog Box" section for details.
Step 2 (Optional) In the Properties dialog box, you can use the toolbar buttons or menu options to:
•Print the information on the current tab.
•Close the dialog box.
•Toggle dynamic update mode off and on.
•Refresh the window to update the information when dynamic update mode is off.
•Acknowledge that you have seen dynamically updated changes.
About the Trunk Group Properties Dialog Box
The Properties dialog box for trunk group components contains a toolbar and the fields described in Table 8-10. By default, the Properties dialog is dynamically updated as device information changes. You can use toolbar buttons to turn updating on or off, acknowledge that you have seen updated information, and check for changes as desired when dynamic updating is off.
See the "Common Functionality in Properties Dialog Boxes" section for more on dialog box functionality.
Note The trunk group properties you see, and the tabs they are located on, depend on the release of the Cisco MGC software that you are using.

Using Diagnostic Tools
When you need to troubleshoot Cisco MGC node devices, you can use the Diagnostics dialog box to access a variety of diagnostic tools. The Diagnostics dialog box provides shortcuts for common diagnostics that normally require using UNIX or MML commands. For example, you can use the ping application to determine if a device is not responding because of an SNMP agent failure or a true network connectivity failure.
After the command is run, you see the results in the Action Result window. If the diagnostic command generates more information than can be shown in the Action Result window, the results are written to a file and you see the name of that file. The file can be retrieved and analyzed by external systems.
Note Many diagnostic commands are time consuming to run. Take this into account when planning your use of diagnostic tools.
Related Topics
The "Using Cisco MGC Node Manager To Launch Device Configuration" section describes how to use various configuration and diagnostic tools such as Cisco VSPT, Cisco View, and launching Telnet (or ssh) or X-windows to a device.
The "Using the Cisco MGC Toolbar" section describes how to use the Cisco MGC Toolbar, a diagnostic component of the Cisco MGC software.
Use the following procedure to run diagnostics on a Cisco MGC node device:
Step 1 In the Map Viewer, select the desired device and right-click.
Note Alternatively, if you have an Accounts, Properties, States, or File Systems dialog box open for the device, you can use the dialog box Navigation menu to open the Diagnostics dialog box.
Step 2 Choose [Device Name] Diagnostics or Tools > [Device Name] Diagnostics. The Diagnostics dialog box for the selected device appears.
Note You can use the Navigation menu to open the Properties, File Systems (where applicable), Accounts, or States dialog box for the selected component.
Step 3 Select the desired diagnostic option. For details, see the "About the Diagnostics Dialog Box" section.
You are asked to confirm the operation.
Step 4 Click Yes to confirm or No if you decide not to continue.
An Action Report box appears containing the results of the diagnostic operation or the name of the file to which the results have been saved.
Step 5 Review the results, then click Close to close the Action Report box.
About the Diagnostics Dialog Box
The Diagnostics dialog box lets you run common UNIX and MML diagnostic commands from Cisco MGC Node Manager without knowing any UNIX or MML or having to launch an X window to connect to the device.
For the Cisco MGC host and the HSI host, the dialog box contains two tabs, the Diagnostics tab and the Advanced tab, which provides status check functions. For all other devices, the dialog box contains the Diagnostics options only.
The Diagnostics dialog box includes a Navigation menu that allows navigating directly to Properties, Accounts, File Systems (where applicable), or States dialog boxes for the selected component, without having to reselect the component in the Map Viewer. See Chapter 3, "Getting Started with Cisco MGC Node Manager," "Navigating between Dialog Boxes for a Given Component" on page 32 for details.
Table 8-11 describes the diagnostic tools available from the Diagnostics dialog box General tab. Table 8-12 describes the tools available for the Cisco MGC host from its Diagnostics dialog box Advanced tab. Table 8-13 describes the tools available for the HSI host from its Diagnostics dialog box Advanced tab.
