Test Commands
In the event
that an issue was discovered with an installed application or line
card, depending on the severity, it may be necessary to take corrective
action.
The system provides
several redundancy and fail-over mechanisms to address issues with
application and line cards in order to minimize system downtime
and data loss. These mechanisms are described in the sections that
follow.
Using the eGTPC
Test Echo Command
This command
tests the eGTP service’s ability to exchange eGTPC packets
with the specified peer which can be useful for troubleshooting
and/or monitoring.
The test is performed
by the system sending eGTP-C echo request messages to the specified
peer(s) and waiting for a response.
IMPORTANT:
This command must be
executed from within the context in which at least one eGTP service is
configured.
The command has the
following syntax:
egtpc test echo peer-address peer_ip_address src-address egtp_svc_ip_address
Keyword/Variable |
Description |
peer-address peer_ip_address |
Specifies
that eGTP-C echo requests will be sent to a specific peer (HSS).ip_address is
the address of the HSS receiving the requests. |
src-address egtp_svc_ip_address |
Specifies
the IP address of a S6a interface configured on the system in eGTP
service.
NOTE: The IP address
of the system’s S6a interface must be bound to a configured
eGTP service prior to executing this command.

The following example
displays a sample of this command’s output showing a successful eGTPC
echo-test from an eGTP service bound to address 192.168.157.32 to
an HSS with an address of 192.168.157.2.
