General Troubleshooting Information

This section provides the following general information for troubleshooting ATM SPA cards and their SPA interface processor (SIP) carrier cards:

•Interpreting Console Error and System Messages

•Using debug Commands

•Using show Commands

Interpreting Console Error and System Messages

To view the explanations and recommended actions for Catalyst 6500 Series switch error messages, including messages related to Catalyst 6500 Series switch SIPs and SPAs, refer to the Catalyst 6500 Series Cisco IOS System Message Guide, 12.2SX.

System error messages are organized in the documentation according to the particular system facility that produces the messages. The SIP and SPA error messages use the following facility names:

•Cisco 7600 SIP-200

•Cisco 7600 SIP-400

•1-Port OC-12c/STM-4 ATM SPA

•1-Port OC-48c/STM-16 ATM SPA

•2-Port and 4-Port OC-3c/STM-1 ATM SPA

Using debug Commands

Along with the other debug commands supported on the Catalyst 6500 Series switch, you can obtain specific debug information for SPAs on the Catalyst 6500 Series switch using the debug hw-module subslot privileged exec command.

Caution Because debugging output is assigned high priority in the CPU process, it can render the system unusable. For this reason, use debug commands only to troubleshoot specific problems or during troubleshooting sessions with Cisco technical support staff. Moreover, it is best to use debug commands during periods of lower network traffic and fewer users. Debugging during these periods decreases the likelihood that increased debug command processing overhead can affect system use.

The debug hw-module subslot command is intended for use by Cisco Systems technical support personnel. For more information about the debug hw-module subslot command and other debug commands, see the Cisco IOS Debug Command Reference, Release 12.2. For more information about other commands that can be used on a Catalyst 6500 Series switch, see the Catalyst 6500 Series Cisco IOS Command Reference, 12.2SX.

Using show Commands

There are several show commands that you can use to monitor and troubleshoot the SIP and SPA cards on a Catalyst 6500 Series switch. For more information on these commands, see the "Monitoring the ATM SPA" section.

Also see Chapter 7, "Configuring the ATM SPAs" for additional information about these show commands.

Monitoring the ATM SPA

This section contains the following subsections that describe commands that can be used to display information about the ATM SPA hardware, interfaces, PVCs, SVCs, and APS configuration:

•Displaying Hardware Information

Displaying Information About Automatic Protection Switching

When you have configured automatic protection switching (APS) on one or more switch, you can show the current APS configuration and status with the show aps command, which has the following syntax:

show aps [atm interface | controller | group [number] ]

You can display information about the overall APS configuration and about the specific APS groups that include interfaces that are present in the switch.

Displaying the Current APS Status

The show aps command, without any options, displays information for all interfaces in the switch that are configured as Working or Protect APS interfaces. The following shows sample output for a switch with one Working interface and one Protect interface: 

Router# show aps 


ATM4/0/1 APS Group 1: protect channel 0 (inactive)

        bidirectional, revertive (2 min) 

        PGP timers (default): hello time=1; hold time=3

        state: 

        authentication = (default)

        PGP versions (native/negotiated): 2/2

        Received K1K2: 0x00 0x05

                No Request (Null)

        Transmitted K1K2: 0x20 0x05

                Reverse Request (protect)

        Working channel 1 at 10.10.10.41 Enabled 

        Remote APS configuration: (null)


ATM4/0/0 APS Group 1: working channel 1 (active)

        PGP timers (from protect): hello time=3; hold time=6

        state: Enabled 

        authentication = (default)

        PGP versions (native/negotiated): 2/2

        SONET framing; SONET APS signalling by default

        Protect at 10.10.10.41 

        Remote APS configuration: (null)

The following sample output is for the same interfaces, except that the Working interface has gone down and the Protect interface is now active: 

Router# show aps 


ATM4/0/1 APS Group 1: protect channel 0 (active)

        bidirectional, revertive (2 min) 

        PGP timers (default): hello time=1; hold time=3

        state:

        state: Disabled 

        authentication = (default)

        PGP versions (native/negotiated): 2/2

        SONET framing; SONET APS signalling by default

        Protect at 10.10.10.41 

        Remote APS configuration: (null)

Tip To display the same information for a specific ATM interface, use the show aps atm slot/subslot/port command.

Displaying Information About APS Groups

To display information about the APS groups that are configured on the switch, use the show aps group command. You can display information for all groups or for a single group. For example, the following example shows a typical display for an individual group: 

Router# show aps group 2 


ATM4/0/0 APS Group 2: working channel 1 (active)

        PGP timers (from protect): hello time=3; hold time=6

        SONET framing; SONET APS signalling by default

        Protect at 10.10.10.7 

        Remote APS configuration: (null)


ATM4/0/1 APS Group 2: protect channel 0 (inactive)

        bidirectional, revertive (2 min) 

        PGP timers (default): hello time=1; hold time=3

        SONET framing; SONET APS signalling by default

        Received K1K2: 0x00 0x05

                No Request (Null)

        Transmitted K1K2: 0x20 0x05

                Reverse Request (protect)

        Working channel 1 at 10.10.10.7  Enabled 

        Remote APS configuration: (null)

Note In the above example, both the Working and Protect interfaces in the APS group are on the same switch. If the two interfaces are on different switches, the show aps group command shows information only for the local interface that is a member of the APS group.

Troubleshooting the ATM Shared Port Adapter

This section describes the following commands and messages that can provide information in troubleshooting the ATM SPA and its interfaces:

•Understanding Line Coding Errors

•Using the Ping Command to Verify Network Connectivity

•Using the Ping Command to Verify Network Connectivity

•Using Loopback Commands

•Using ATM Debug Commands

•Using the Cisco IOS Event Tracer to Troubleshoot Problems

Tip For additional information on troubleshooting specific problems related to PVCs and SVCs, see the TAC tech note web page, at the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk39/tk48/tech_tech_notes_list.html

Understanding Line Coding Errors

This section provides a brief description of line coding and of the types of errors and alarms that can occur on a line:

•Alarm Indication Signal (AIS)—An AIS alarm indicates that an alarm was raised by a device on a line upstream to the ATM interface. Typically, the device creating the alarm is the adjacent network neighbor, but the AIS signal could also be generated by a device in the service provider's ATM cloud.

•Loss of Frame (LOF)—An LOF alarm occurs when the local interface is using a framing format that does not match the framing format being used on the line. LOF errors could also occur when the line or a device on the line is generating bit errors that are corrupting frames.

•Rx Cell HCS Error (HCSE)—The interface detected an error in the cell's header checksum (HCS) field, which indicates that one or more header bits were corrupted. (This field does not indicate whether any errors occurred in the cell's 48-bit payload.)

•Remote Alarm Indication (RAI) and Far-end Receive Failure (FERF)—An RAI/FERF error indicates that a problem exists between the local ATM interface and the far end, and that the error might not be in the local segment between the local interface and adjacent node.

Using the Ping Command to Verify Network Connectivity

The ping command is a convenient way to test the ability of an interface to send and receive packets over the network. The ping command sends ICMP echo request packets to a specified destination address, which should send an equal number of ICMP echo reply packets in reply. By measuring the numbering of packets that are successfully returned, as well as how long each packet takes to be returned, you can quickly obtain a rough idea of the Layer 3 to Layer 3 connectivity between two interfaces.

The IP ping command has the following syntax:

ping

or

ping ip-address [repeat count] [data hex] [size datagram-size]

If you enter just ping, the command interactively prompts you for all other parameters. Otherwise, you must specify at least a specific IP address as the destination for the ping. You can also optionally specify the following parameters:

•repeat count—Number of ICMP echo request packets to send. The default is five packets.

•data hex—The data pattern, in hexadecimal, to be sent in the ICMP echo request packets.

•size datagram-size—Specifies the size, in bytes, of the ICMP echo request packets to be sent. The range is 40 to 18024 bytes, with a default of 100 bytes.

Examples

The following shows a typical example of the ping command: 

Router# ping 10.10.10.10 


Type escape sequence to abort.

Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echoes to 10.10.10.10, timeout is 2 seconds:

!!!!!

Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/15/64 ms

Note You must have at least one PVC or SVC defined on an ATM interface before it can respond to an ICMP ping packet.

Using Loopback Commands

The loopback commands place an interface in loopback mode, which enables you to use the ping command to send packets through the local interface and line, so as to test connectivity. These commands are especially useful when an interface is experiencing a high number of cyclic redundancy check (CRC) errors, so that you can pinpoint where the errors are occurring.

Use the following procedures to perform the different loopback tests:

•Using loopback diagnostic to Create a Local Loopback

•Using loopback line

Tip For more information about using loopbacks to troubleshoot CRC errors on an interface, see the CRC Troubleshooting Guide for ATM Interfaces tech note, at the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk39/tk48/technologies_tech_note09186a00800c93ef.shtml

Using loopback diagnostic to Create a Local Loopback

To perform a local loopback test, in which the transmit data is looped back to the receive data at the physical (PHY) layer, use the loopback diagnostic command on an ATM interface. This loopback tests connectivity on the local ATM interface, verifying that the interface's framing circuitry and segmentation and reassembly (SAR) circuitry is operating correctly. This loopback, however, does not test the interface's optics circuitry and ports.

Tip If an ATM interface is currently connected to another ATM interface and passing traffic, shut down the remote ATM interface before giving the loopback diagnostic command on the local ATM interface. Otherwise, the remote interface continues to send traffic to the local interface, and the remote network could also start reporting interface and network errors.

Figure 8-1 shows a router-level diagram of a local loopback. In this example, the device with the ATM SPA is shown as a Cisco 7600 series router, but it can also be a Catalyst 6500 series switch. Figure 8-2 shows a block-level diagram of a local loopback, as it is performed within the ATM interface circuitry.

Figure 8-1 Performing a Local Loopback—Router Level

Figure 8-2 Performing a Local Loopback—Block Level

To configure a local loopback diagnostic test, perform the following task:

 
Command
Purpose

Step 1 

Router# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 2 

Router(config)# interface atm slot/subslot/port

Enters interface configuration mode for the indicated port on the specified ATM SPA card.

Step 3 

Router(config-if)# loopback diagnostic

Puts the ATM interface into the local loopback mode, so that data that is transmitted out the interface is internally routed back into the receive data line.

Step 4 

Router(config-if)# atm clock internal

Specifies that the ATM interface should derive its clocking from its local oscillator, which is required, because the loopback command isolates the interface from the network and from the clocking signals that are derived from the network line.

Step 5 

Router(config-if)# end

Exits interface configuration mode and returns to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 6 

Router# show interface atm slot/subslot/port

(Optional) Verifies that the interface has been configured for loopback mode. The output should show the words "loopback set" when the interface is operating in loopback mode.

Step 7 

Router# debug atm packet interface atm slot/subslot/port

(Optional) Enables packet debugging on the ATM interface.

Note This command generates several lines of debug output for each packet transmitted and received on the interface. Do not use it on a live network, or you could force the processor to 100% utilization.

Step 8 

Router(config-if)# ping ip-address [repeat count] [data hex] [size datagram-size]

Sends an ICMP echo request packet to the specified IP address.

•ip-address—Destination IP address for the ICMP echo request packet. Because the interface has been put into loopback mode, the exact IP address does not matter—any valid IP address can be specified.

•repeat count—(Optional) Specifies the number of ICMP echo request packets to be sent. The default is 5.

•data hex—(Optional) The data pattern, in hexadecimal, to be sent in the ICMP echo request packets.

•size datagram-size—(Optional) Specifies the size, in bytes, of the ICMP echo request packets to be sent. The range is 40 to 18024 bytes, with a default of 100 bytes.

Note Because the interface is in loopback mode, the ping command will report that it failed. This is to be expected.

Step 9 

Router# show interface atm slot/subslot/port

Displays interface statistics, including whether any CRC or other errors occurred during the ping test. For example:

Router# show interface atm 5/0/1

... 

Received 0 broadcasts, 0 runts, 0 giants, 0 
throttles

5 input errors, 5 CRC, 0 frame, 0 overrun, 0 
ignored, 0 abort

Step 10 

Router(config)# interface atm slot/subslot/port

Enters interface configuration mode for the indicated port on the specified ATM SPA card.

Step 11 

Router(config-if)# no loopback diagnostic

Removes the local loopback and return the ATM interface to normal operations.

 

Note Also remember to restore the proper clocking on the local ATM interface and to reenable the remote ATM interface.

The following sample output shows a local loopback being set with the loopback diagnostic command. The ping command then sends two PING packets, and the resulting output from the show interface command shows that two CRC errors occurred.

Using loopback line

If an ATM interface can perform a local loopback successfully, without reporting errors, you can next try a line loopback (loopback line command) to determine if packet errors are being generated by the ATM network between the local and remote router. In a line loopback, the interface on the remote router is configured with the loopback line command, so that it reflects every packet that it receives back to the originating router. The local router then generates traffic with the ping command to determine whether the line through the network is generating the packet errors.

Figure 8-3 shows a router-level diagram of a line loopback. In this example, the device with the ATM SPA is shown as a Cisco 7600 series router, but it can also be a Catalyst 6500 series switch. Figure 8-4 shows a block-level diagram of a line loopback, as it is performed within the ATM interface circuitry.

Figure 8-3 Performing a Local Loopback—Router Level

Figure 8-4 Performing a Line Loopback—Block Level

To configure a line loopback test, perform the following task.

 
Command
Purpose
Perform the following steps on the remote router:
 

Step 1 

Router# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 2 

Router(config)# interface atm slot/subslot/port

Enters interface configuration mode for the indicated port on the specified ATM SPA card.

Step 3 

Router(config-if)# loopback line

Puts the ATM interface into the line loopback mode, so that it reflects any data it receives back to the originator.

Step 4 

Router(config-if)# end

Exits interface configuration mode and returns to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 5 

Router# show interface atm slot/subslot/port

(Optional) Verifies that the interface has been configured for loopback mode. The output should show the words "loopback set" when the interface is operating in loopback mode.

Perform the following steps on the local router:

 

Step 1 

Router# debug atm packet interface atm slot/subslot/port

(Optional) Enables packet debugging on the ATM interface.

Note This command generates several lines of debug output for each packet transmitted and received on the interface. Do not use it on a live network, or you could force the processor to 100% utilization.

Step 2 

Router(config-if)# ping ip-address [repeat count] [data hex] [size datagram-size]

Sends an ICMP echo request packet to the specified IP address.

•ip-address—Destination IP address for the ICMP echo request packet. Because the interface has been put into loopback mode, the exact IP address does not matter—any valid IP address can be specified.

•repeat count—(Optional) Specifies the number of ICMP echo request packets to be sent. The default is 5.

•data hex—(Optional) The data pattern, in hexadecimal, to be sent in the ICMP echo request packets. The default is 0x0000.

•size datagram-size—(Optional) Specifies the size, in bytes, of the ICMP echo request packets to be sent. The range is 40 to 18024 bytes, with a default of 100 bytes.

Note Because the interface is in loopback mode, the ping command will report that it failed. This is to be expected.

Step 3 

Router(config-if)# end

Exits interface configuration mode and returns to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 4 

Router# show interface atm slot/subslot/port

Displays interface statistics, including whether any CRC or other errors during the ping test. For example:

Router# show interface atm 5/0/1

... 

Received 0 broadcasts, 0 runts, 0 giants, 0 
throttles

5 input errors, 5 CRC, 0 frame, 0 overrun, 0 
ignored, 0 abort

...

Router#

 

Note Also remember to remove the loopback mode on the remote ATM interface, using the no loopback line command.

The following example shows typical output when performing a line loopback. The following is the output on the remote router: 

Router# configure terminal 

Router(config)# interface atm 3/1/2 

Router(config)# loopback line 

Router(config)# end 

Router# show interface atm 3/1/2

Using ATM Debug Commands

The following debug commands can be useful when troubleshooting problems on an ATM interface or subinterface:

•debug atm bundle errors—Displays information about VC bundle errors.

•debug atm bundle events—Displays information about events related to the configuration and operation of VC bundles, such as VC bumping, when bundles are brought up, when they are taken down, and so forth.

•debug atm errors—Displays errors that occur on an ATM interface, such as encapsulation and framing errors, as well as any errors that might occur during configuration of the ATM interfaces.

•debug atm events—Displays information about events that occur on the ATM interfaces, such as changes to the ATM SPA and ATM interface configuration, card and interface resets, and PVC or SVC creation.

Note The output of debug atm events can be extremely verbose and can cause problems if large numbers of ATM VCs are configured. The command should only be used when a few VCs are configured.

•debug atm oam—Displays the contents of ATM operation and maintenance (OAM) cells as they arrive from the ATM network.

•debug atm packet—Displays a hexadecimal dump of each packet's SNAP/NLPID/SMDS header, followed by the first 40 bytes of the packet.

Tip Use the no debug all command to turn off all debugging displays.

For more information about these commands, see the Cisco IOS Debug Command Reference, Release 12.2.

Using the Cisco IOS Event Tracer to Troubleshoot Problems

Note This feature is intended for use as a software diagnostic tool and should be configured only under the direction of a Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) representative.

The Event Tracer feature provides a binary trace facility for troubleshooting Cisco IOS software. This feature gives Cisco service representatives additional insight into the operation of the Cisco IOS software and can be useful in helping to diagnose problems in the unlikely event of an operating system malfunction or, in the case of redundant systems, Route Processor switchover.

Event tracing works by reading informational messages from specific Cisco IOS software subsystem components that have been preprogrammed to work with event tracing, and by logging messages from those components into system memory. Trace messages stored in memory can be displayed on the screen or saved to a file for later analysis.

The SPAs currently support the "spa" component to trace SPA OIR-related events.

For more information about using the Event Tracer feature, refer to the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/netmgmt/configuration/guide/nm_event_tracer_ps6441_TSD_Products_Configuration_Guide_Chapter.html

Preparing for Online Insertion and Removal of a SPA

The Catalyst 6500 Series switch supports online insertion and removal (OIR) of the SIP, in addition to each of the SPAs. Therefore, you can remove a SIP with its SPAs still intact, or you can remove a SPA independently from the SIP, leaving the SIP installed in the switch.

This means that a SIP can remain installed in the switch with one SPA remaining active, while you remove another SPA from one of the SIP subslots. If you are not planning to immediately replace a SPA into the SIP, then be sure to install a blank filler plate in the subslot. The SIP should always be fully installed with either functional SPAs or blank filler plates.

For more information about activating and deactivating SPAs in preparation for OIR, see the "Preparing for Online Insertion and Removal of SIPs and SPAs" topic in the "Troubleshooting a SIP" chapter in this guide.
