Using Diagnostic Tools

When you need to troubleshoot Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch 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 the use of UNIX or MML commands. For example, you can use the ping command to determine why a device is not responding. It might be because of an SNMP agent failure or because of a true network connectivity failure.

After the command is run, the results in the Action Result window displays. If the diagnostic command generates more information than can be shown in the Action Result window, the results are written to a file and the name of that file displays. 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.

The "Using Cisco MNM to Launch Device Configuration" section describes how to use various configuration and diagnostic tools such as Cisco VSPT, CiscoView, and launching Telnet (or ssh) or X-windows to a device.

The "Using the MGC Toolbar" section describes how to use the MGC Toolbar, a diagnostic component of the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch software.

Use the following procedure to run diagnostics on a Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch node device:


Step 1 In the Map Viewer window, right-click a device and choose [Device Name] Diagnostics or Tools > [Device Name] Diagnostics.

The Diagnostics dialog box for the selected device opens.


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 Select a diagnostic option. For details, see the "About the Diagnostics Dialog Box" section.

You are asked to confirm the operation.

Step 3 Click Yes to confirm or No if you decide not to continue.

If you click Yes, An Action Report box displays containing the results of the diagnostic operation or the name of the file to which the results have been saved.

Step 4 Review the results, and 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 MNM without knowing any UNIX or MML or having to launch an X window to connect to the device.

For the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch host and the Cisco HSI host, the dialog box contains two tabs: the Diagnostics tab and the Advanced tab. The Advanced tab provides status check functions. For all other devices, the dialog box contains the Diagnostics option only.

The Diagnostics dialog box includes a Navigation menu that allows you to navigate 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 the "Navigating Between Dialog Boxes for a Given Component" on page 32 for details.
