Refer to the ASR 5000 Installation Guide for comprehensive descriptions of the hardware components addressed by these troubleshooting procedures.
Important: As the system progresses through its boot process, some cards will not exhibit immediate LED activity. Allow several minutes to elapse after a reboot is initiates before checking the LEDs on the various cards to verify that the boot process has successfully completed.The status of application and line card LEDs can be viewed through the CLI by entering the show leds all command in Exec mode.
The status of the two Power Filter Units (PFUs) can be viewed by entering the show power chassis command in the Exec mode.

The Active LED on a packet processing card indicates that the software is loaded on the card and that the card is ready for operation. When the system first boots up, all installed packet processing cards are booted into standby mode. The system must then be configured as to which packet processing cards should serve as redundant components (remain in standby mode) and which should function as active components.
|
Verify that the Standby LED on a redundant packet processing card is also blinking green. If so, there is an issue with the card that was active and is transferring its processes.

Refer to the ASR 5000 Installation Guide for details.The line cards will remain in a ready mode until their corresponding packet processing card is made active via configuration. While in ready mode the Active LED should be off. After the packet processing card is made active, the line card installed in the upper-rear chassis slot behind the packet processing card will also be made active. The line card (except for the Full-height XGLC) installed in the lower-rear chassis slot behind the packet processing card will enter the standby mode.

|
Step 2
|
Press Y to initiate the halt operation.
|
Check the entry in the Oper State column next to the line card that was just halted. Its state should be Offline. If the card was in active mode prior to the execution of this command, the state of the redundant component associated with it should now be Active.

context context_name
context_name is the name of the context to which you wish to switch. The following prompt appears:
[context_name]host_name#
The ICMP ping command verifies the system’s ability to communicate with a remote node in the network by passing data packets between and measuring the response. This command is useful in verifying network routing and if a remote node is able to respond at the IP layer. The command has the following syntax:
ping host_ip_address [ count num_packets ] [ pattern packet_pattern ] [ size octet_count ] [ src { src_host_name | src_host_ip_address } ]
|
Identifies the remote node to which is the target of the ping command.
host_ip_address specifies the remote node using its IP address entered in IPv4 dotted-decimal format.
|
|
|
num_packets must be within the range 1 through 10000. The default is 5.
|
|
|
packet_pattern must be specified in hexadecimal format with a value in the range hexadecimal 0x0000 through 0xFFFF.
packet_pattern must begin with a ‘0x’ followed by up to four hexadecimal digits.
|
|
|
octet_count must be a value in the range 40 through 18432. The default is 56.
|
|
|
src_host_name specifies the source node using the node’s logical host name which must be resolved via DNS lookup.
src_host_ip_address: specifies the source node using its IP address entered in IPv4 dotted-decimal format.
The default is the IP address of the interface through which the ping was issued.
|
|
•
|
If there is still no response, it is likely that the packets are getting discarded by a network device. Use the traceroute and show ip static-route commands discussed to further troubleshoot the issue (see below).
|
The traceroute command collects information on the route data will take to a specified host. This is a useful troubleshooting command that can be used to identify the source of significant packet delays or packet loss on the network. This command can also be used to identify bottle necks in the routing of data over the network.
traceroute { host_name | host_ip_address } [ count packets ] [ df ] [ maxttl max_ttl ] [ minttl min_ttl ] [ port port_number ] [ size octet_count ] [ src { src_host_name | src_host_ip_address } ] [ timeout seconds ]
|
host_name specifies the remote node using the node’s logical host name which must be resolved via DNS lookup.
|
|
|
host_ip_address is expressed in IPv4 dotted-decimal notation.
|
|
|
max_ttl is an integer from1 through 255. It is an error if max_ttl is less than min_ttl, whether min_ttl is specified or defaulted.
|
|
|
min_ttl is an integer from1 through 255. It is an error if min_ttl is greater than max_ttl, whether max_ttl is specified or defaulted.
|
|
|
src_host_name specifies the remote node using the node’s logical host name which must be resolved via DNS lookup.
src_host_ip_address specifies the remote node using its IP address in IPv4 dotted-decimal format.
The default is the IP address of the interface through which the ping was issued.
|
|
arp_ip_address specifies a specific network node for which to display ARP information. The address can be entered in IPv4 dotted-decimal or IPv6 colon-separated format. If this keyword is not specified, all entries within the context’s ARP table are displayed.
Important: Restarting the VPN Manager removes all interfaces from the kernel which in turn removes all ARP entries. However, the NPU still retains all of the ARP entries so that there is no traffic disruption. From a user point of view, show ip arp is broken since this command gathers information from the kernel and not the NPU.
Caution: The monitor tool may cause session processing delays and/or data loss. Therefore, it should be used only when troubleshooting.|
