Super User Commands

Super User Commands

This manual contains detailed descriptions of the IPX/IGX/BPX Software Release 8.2 super user commands. The IPX/IGX/BPX super user command descriptions are presented in alphabetical order. Access to these commands requires privilege level 0 (zero).

Caution Use of these commands should be restricted to Cisco personnel and other qualified users, such as System Administrators. Do not distribute this information to casual users because improper use of some super user commands may lead to system malfunction or complete failure.

General Information

Note Access to the super user commands (privilege level 0) requires a different login and password than access to commands with privilege levels 1--6.

Because the privilege level for all super user commands is 0, the privilege level does not appear in the command definition.

Table 1-1 lists all the IPX/IGX/BPX level 0 (super user) commands in alphabetical order. The table also lists whether the command can be used on IPX node, on a BPX node, and with a job. To access these commands, type in SuperUser at the login prompt. Then type in the super user password. To exit a command and return to the "next command" prompt, press the delete key.

The screens and examples used in this chapter are based on a network equipped with both IPX and BPX nodes. The nodes are all running a preliminary version of Release 8.2 system software. This command list reflects all commands available for this release of software. Refer to the Cisco StrataComCommand Reference for information on how to enter commands and for detailed descriptions of privilege level 1-6 commands.

Super User Command List

Command Help

The StrataView Plus (SV+) workstation provides on-line help for all IPX/IGX/BPX commands. On-line help can be accessed through the SV+ FrameViewer icon. On-line help provides an abbreviated version of the information in this document, including the command function, syntax, and attributes. Hypertext links allow you to navigate through the various commands.

Commands

The pages that follow describe the super user commands available for Release 8.2. Commands are listed in alphabetical order, and most include a table describing the applicable system parameters and a typical screen display.

Note The commands in this manual refer only to cards that run with Rel. 8.2 and later software releases. Cards used with earlier releases that have been replaced by newer units do not appear here. Refer to the Rel. 6.2 IPX SuperUser Commands User Guide for these cards.

Beginning with Rel. 7.0, all command references to packet line (pln) may also be addressed by trunk (trk). For example the Display Packet Line Connection Count command (dspplncon) may also be reached by entering Display Trunk Connection Count (dsptrkcon).

All commands that work on an IPX node also work on an IGX node.

burnfwrev (Burn Firmware Image into Card(s)

The burnfwrev command burns a new firmware image into a specific card.

Attributes

Jobs: Yes Log: Yes Lock: Yes Node Type: IPX, IGX, BPX

Associated Commands

dspfwrev, getfwrev

Syntax
burnfwrev <image name> <slot number>

<image name>

specifies the name of the firmware image to burn. Image names are generally in all capital letters and are case-sensitive when being entered.

<slot number>

specifies the shelf slot where the card to burn is located. Specifying slot 0 will burn all cards of the appropriate type at the local node.



Function

This command is used to burn (load) a firmware image into the memory of a specific IPX/IGX/BPX card. Before using this command, the firmware image must have already been loaded into controller card's memory by the getfwrev command. A few seconds after issuing this command, the system displays a screen similar to Figure 1-1. A few moments later, the burn address column will start to indicate the addresses that are being "burned". When finished, the status will change to "Complete".

After all cards at a node have been updated with this command, issue a getfwrev 0.0 node name command. This command will clear the firmware image from the controller card's buffer area, allowing the buffer to be used for other purposes. Use the dspfwrev command to display the firmware image status on the controller card at any other time after the burn has been completed.

At the super user level (0), this command can only be used to change the revision level of a card's firmware. If the firmware revision results in a new model number for the card, only a user with the StrataCom privilege level will be able to burn the firmware image.

clrcderrs (Clear Detailed Card Errors)

The clrcderrs command clears the history of card failures (errors) associated with the specified slot.

Attributes

Jobs: Yes Log: Yes Lock: Yes Node Type: IPX, IGX, BPX

Associated Commands

dspcderrs, prtcderrs

Syntax
clrcderrs <slot number | *>

<slot number | *>

specifies the slot number to clear. A "*" can be entered to clear all cards.



Function

This command clears the history of card failures associated with the specified slot. When you enter this command system responds with Slot Number or *. After you enter the command, the system asks you to confirm that it is OK to clear this data.

For example, to clear the data from the FRM card in slot 3, enter the command illustrated in Figure 1-2. This screen also illustrates the card's stored data.

clrcnf (Clear Configuration Memory)

The clrcnf command clears the configuration memory at the current node and resets the node.

Attributes

Jobs: No Log: No Lock: Yes Node Type: IPX, IGX, BPX

Associated Commands

loadcnf, runcnf, savecnf

Syntax
clrcnf

Function

This command erases most network configuration data, including connections, trunks, circuit lines, etc. for the local node. It may be required when updating a software release or when a node is physically moved to a different location and needs to be reconfigured. Before the command is performed, a warning is displayed and a confirmation is required. Figure 1-4 illustrates a typical screen.

This command should be used only on a node that has not yet been placed in service or when the network configuration has been previously saved so it can be quickly reloaded. The configuration can be saved in one of several ways:

Caution Use the clrcnf command with great care. It is best not to use it unless specifically instructed to do so by Cisco TAC as it can make the node unreachable to the network.

Figure 1-4: Clrcnf—Clear Node Configuration *** Warning: *** This command clears the configuration memory and resets the Node. This Command: clrcnf Are you sure (y/n)?

clrfpevt (Clear FastPAD Event Reporting)

The clrfpevt command disables the reporting of FastPAD events.

Attributes

Jobs: No Log: Yes Lock: No Node Type: IPX, IGX

Associated Commands

setfpevt, dsplog

Syntax
clrfpevt <FastPAD name> | <slot.port>

Function

The reason for executing clrfpevt is to prevent the large number of logged events that accumulate when certain user-controlled disruptions occur. Without suspension of event-logging, the number of events caused by the disruption can cause the FastPAD to become unreachable. Remember to resume event logging by using the setfpevt command. Examples of these events are:

Example

clfpevt 9.3

Description

The command halts event logging for the FastPAD connected to port 9.3.

Note No screen appears when clrfpevt executes. Figure 1-5 shows the dsplog output after a sequence of clrfpevt then setfpevt. Earlier FastPAD events appear near the bottom of the screen.

cnfbmpparm (Configure Priority Bumping Parameter Values)

The cnfbmparm command configures the parameters for the optional priority bumping feature.

Attributes

Jobs: Yes Log: Yes Lock: Yes Node Type: IPX, IGX, BPX

Associated Commands
dspbmpst

Syntax
cnfbmpparm <index> <value>

<index>

specifies the index number of the parameter to change. Priority bumping parameters are listed in Table 1-2.

<value>

specifies the value for the parameter.



Function

This command enables the optional priority bumping feature and sets its various parameters. Network-wide values should only be changed when all nodes are reachable. This command should be used carefully as the resolution of conflicting values when networks are joined can cause difficulties. Table 1-2 lists the various parameters of the priority bumping feature. Figure 1-6 illustrates a typical screen.

CDP Card Parameters

cnfcftst (Configure Communication Fail Test Pattern)

The cnfcftst command changes the configuration of the test pattern used for communication failure testing.

Attributes

Jobs: No Log: Yes Lock: Yes Node Type: IPX, IGX, BPX

Associated Commands

dspcftst

Syntax
cnfcftst

Function

The communication fail test pattern is used to periodically test for failure of nodes to communicate with each other. This test pattern is also used to recover from communication fail conditions. A communication fail is defined as a loss of controller communication over one or more trunks to a particular node. A communication fail differs from a communication break condition in that the node may be reachable over other paths. The communication fail test is used to test the failed trunk for proper controller traffic.

This command allows the user to configure the communication fail test pattern byte by byte. It defaults to a pattern of four bytes of ones followed by four bytes of zeros. Varying the length of the test pattern makes the communications test more or less rigorous. Changing the characters determines the pattern sensitivity for strings of less than 14 bytes.

The dspcftst command displays the current communication test pattern. The parameters used for declaring and clearing communication fails are set by the cnfnodeparm command. Figure 1-7 illustrates a typical screen.

cnfchts (Configure Channel Timestamp)

The cnfchts command configures the preage parameter for CDP or SDP data channels.

Attributes

Jobs: Yes Log: Yes Lock: Yes Node Type: IPX, IGX

Associated Commands

cnfcdpparm

Syntax
cnfchts <channel(s)> <preage>

<channel(s)>

specifies the data channel to configure.

<preage>

specifies a time stamp in microseconds to be entered for preage.



Function

This command configures the preage parameter for data channels. The preage parameter is used to reduce the delay or improve throughput on a data connection. The preage parameter specifies the initial age to be timestamped on a packet used in a timestamped data connection. The timestamp in the data packet is used to prioritize packets and to determine when a packet is too old and should be discarded from the transmitting NTC queue. Data channels with the greater preage value will be transmitted sooner but the chance that they will be aged and discarded in an overloaded network is greater.

All values entered are rounded down to the nearest multiple of 250 microseconds. The default value is 0. Acceptable values are in the range 0 to the Max Time Stamped Packet Age' (set by the cnfsysparm command). When you enter this command, the system responds with the screen illustrated in the example below. The connection should be rerouted or restarted for the new value to take effect.

cnfmxbutil (Configure Muxbus Utilization)

The cnfmxbutil command configures the IPX MUXBUS utilization factor for each FRP.

Attributes

Jobs: No Log: Yes Lock: Yes Node Type: IPX, IGX

Associated Commands

none

Syntax
cnfmxbutil <slot number> <percentage>

<slot number>

specifies the slot number of the associated FRP card.

<percentage>

specifies the percent of MUXBUS bandwidth to allocate.



Function

This command configures the MUXBUS utilization factor. A certain amount of MUXBUS bandwidth is allocated by system software for each FRP in an IPX node. Since the maximum data rate for an FRP is 2 Mbps, this is also the maximum amount of MUXBUS bandwidth reserved for the FRP.

In many applications, each of the four FRP ports is configured for a large number of 56 or 64 Kbps connections. System software adds up the bandwidth required for all the connections, multiplies by 121% to reserve extra bandwidth for overhead, then subtracts this amount from the total available MUXBUS bandwidth.

However, statistical full utilization is not often required on ports with a large number of connections and the MUXBUS bandwidth reserved may be reduced further. In nodes equipped with a T3 or E3 ATMT card, much of the MUXBUS bandwidth may be assigned to the ATM trunk and the remaining MUXBUS bandwidth may need to be allocated carefully.

Prior to release 7.1, the MUXBUS utilization factor was configurable only on a per-node basis using the cnfnodeparm command. All FRPs had to be configured the same. This command permits assigning the utilization factor for each FRP in the node on a slot by slot basis.

See Figure 1-27 for a sample screen. N/A is displayed for all slots not equipped with an FRP. Once the slot is selected, the system displays the message "Enter Utilization Factor". The allowable range is from 1 to 250% with a default of 121%. The extra 21% for the default is used to cover the overhead involved in encapsulating the frame relay frame in the FastPacket or ATM cell.

cnftrkparm (Configure Trunk Card Parameter)

The cnftrkparm command sets specified trunk parameters for the following front cards:

Attributes

Jobs: No Log: Yes Lock: Yes Node Type: IPX, IGX, BPX

Associated Commands

dsptrkstathist, dsptrkstatcnf

Syntax
cnftrkparm <trk number> <parm index> <parm value>

<trk number>

specifies the trunk to configure (can be a virtual trunk).

<parm index>

specifies the parameter to change.

<parm value>

specifies the value of the parameter.



Function

Use the cnftrkparm command to optimize a network for particular traffic mixes. This command configures any of the trunk-specific parameters associated with a trunk card. It applies to either a FastPacket trunk or an ATM trunk. For ATM trunks, cnftrkparm applies to both physical and virtual trunks. Spacer queues indicated for the CLP and EFCN thresholds pertain to AIT and BTM cards in an IPX node or IGX node, respectively.

This command can also reconfigure trunk queue depths to meet the CEPT requirement for a maximum end-to-end delay of 10 milliseconds. For this purpose, enter the following:

cnftrkparm <trunk number> <parameter index> <parameter value>

where: trunk number specifies the trunk.
parameter index is 2 (which corresponds to the NTS queue).
parameter value is 7 (which is the maximum allowable queue depth).

When the system receives this command and a trunk number, it displays the configurable parameters with an index number for each. The parameters vary with the trunk type, as the subsequent figures and tables show. Table 1-18, Table 1-19, and Table 1-20 list the parameters for trunks carrying FastPackets and ATM cells on different platforms as well as virtual trunks. Figure 1-34, Figure 1-35, and Figure 1-36 show the response when you execute cnftrkparm for various trunks. A table follows each screen example for each type of trunk.

Table 1-18: IPX/IGX Trunk Parameters
Index Parameter Description

1, 18

Yel/Red Alarm In/Out

Specifies a time period relating to when a trunk goes into a red or yellow alarm and after it comes out of the alarm state. The applicable type of alarm her stems from a physical line problem rather than from a statistical error. The purpose of this parameter is to prevent the switch from rerouting the connections after a very brief problem or from prematurely informing switch software that the trunk is back in service (after a failure). The implementation is:

  • The "into" alarm value is the time the card waits after a local (red) or yellow (remote) problem occurs before the card alerts switch software of the problem.

  • The "out of" alarm value is the time the card waits after a local, physical problem is cleared before the card alerts switch software that the problem no longer exists.

2, 19

Rx/Tx Max. Age: - Voice

Specifies a multiplier for 125-microsecond increments for the maximum age of voice packets. For example, with the default of 20, the node discards voice packets older than 2.5 seconds.

Note that, if you increase the maximum age of a voice packet, the node increases the size of the Rx and Tx voice queues.

3, 20

Rx/Tx EFCN - BdataB

For packets or cells received from the trunk carrying ForeSight Frame Relay, the node sets the EFCN bit above this threshold.

4

Gateway Efficiency

Specifies an expected average number of FastPackets in each cell arriving from a trunk. The purpose if this parameter is to help switch software regulate bandwidth usage on the MUXBUS in an IPX node or the or CELLBUS in an IGX node. The range is 1.0-3.0.

5

EFCN - Rx Space

Same as 3, 20 except that EFCN - Rx Space sets the threshold in the RX spacer queues in the AIT or BTM card. Rx space queues face towards the IPX or IGX node.

6, 7

Low-High CLP-Rx Space

Same as 8, 9 except this threshold is for setting CLP in receive spacer queues for data to send to the local node.

8, 9

Rx High CLP
(Bdata A/BdataB)

Frame relay cells/packets received from trunk with CLP bit set above this high threshold will be dropped and will continue to be dropped until the low threshold is crossed. Separate queues for ForeSight and non-ForeSight data. Given in terms of % of queue depth.

10, 11

Rx Low CLP
(Bdata A/BdataB)

Same as for 8, 9 except sets low threshold.

25, 26

Tx High CLP

Same as 8, 9 except this is threshold for setting CLP in transmit queues for data to be output to the next link.

27, 28

Tx Low CLP

Same as for 25, 26 except sets low threshold.

12-17

Receive Queue Depth (Voice, NTS, TS, BData A, BData B, High Pri.)

Reserves RAM in the trunk card for each of the receive queues in terms of the number of packets.

29-34

Transmit Queue Depth

Reserves RAM in the trunk card for each of the transmit queues in terms of the number of packets.

Note For parameter 12, the system displays the following: "Warning - don't change Voice Q size, use Max Voice Age."

Specifies the queue depth in cells for time-stamped traffic.

4

Q Depth - BData A

Specifies the depth in cells for the bursty data A queue.

5

Q Depth - BData B

Specifies the depth in cells for the bursty data B queue.

6

Q Depth - High Pri

Specifies the queue depth in cells for high priority traffic

7

Max Age - Voice

Specifies a multiplier for 125-microsecond increments for the maximum age of voice packets. For example, with the default of 20, the node discards voice packets older than 2.5 seconds.

This parameter relates to item 1, Q Depth - Voice: if you increase the value for Max Age - Voice, the node increases the size of the Voice Packet Queue because more voice packets can accumulate due to a greater age.

8

Red Alm - I/O (Dec)

Specifies a time period relating to when a trunk goes into red alarm and after it comes out of the alarm state. The applicable type of alarm here stems from a physical problem rather than from a statistical error. The purpose of this parameter is to prevent the switch from rerouting the connections after a very brief problem or from prematurely informing switch software that the trunk is back in service (after a local failure). The implementation is:

  • The "into" alarm value is the time the card waits after a local, physical problem occurs before the card alerts switch software of the problem.

  • The "out of" alarm value is the time the card waits after a local, physical problem is cleared before the card alerts switch software that the problem no longer exists.

9

Yel Alm - I/O (Dec)

Specifies a time period relating to when a trunk goes into yellow alarm and after it comes out of the alarm state. The applicable type of alarm here stems from a physical problem rather than from a statistical error. The purpose of this parameter is to prevent the switch from rerouting the connections after a very brief problem or from prematurely informing switch software that the trunk is back in service (after a remote failure). The implementation is:

  • The "into" alarm value is the time the card waits after a remote, physical problem occurs before the card alerts local switch software of the problem.

  • The "out of" alarm value is the time the card waits after a remote, physical problem is cleared before the card alerts local switch software that the problem no longer exists.

10

Low CLP - BData A

Specifies a percent of the Bursty Data A queue. When the number of cells in the queue falls below this percentage, the switch stops discarding cells with CLP=1. The default of 100% disables the function, which causes the switch to discard all cells with CLP=1.

11

High CLP - BData A

Specifies a percent of the Bursty Data A queue. When the number of cells in the queue reaches this percentage, the switch begins to discard cells with CLP=1. The default of 100% disables the function, which causes the switch to discard all cells with CLP=1 regardless of the cell count in the queue.

12

Low CLP - BData B

Specifies a percent of the Bursty Data B queue. When the number of cells in the queue falls below this percentage, the switch stops discarding cells with CLP=1.

13

High CLP - BData B

Specifies a percent of the Bursty Data B queue. When the number of cells in the queue reaches this percentage, the switch begins to discard cells with CLP=1.

14

EFCN - BData B

Specifies the number of cells in the Bursty Data B queue that causes the switch to send congestion notification to the destination node. The default is low in relation to the default queue depth so that notification begins to go out as soon as congestion begins.

15

Q Depth - CBR

Specifies the depth of the queue dedicated to CBR traffic.

16

Q Depth - VBR

Specifies the depth of the queue dedicated to VBR traffic.

17

Q Depth - ABR

Specifies the depth of the queue dedicated to ABR traffic.

18

Low CLP - CBR

Specifies a percent of the CBR queue. When the number of cells in the queue falls below this percentage, the node stops discarding cells with CLP=1. The default of 100% disables the function, which causes the switch to discard all cells with CLP=1 regardless of the cell count in the queue. The reason the default is 100% is that, with CBR, congestion is not an expected condition.

19

High CLP - CBR

Specifies a percent of the CBR queue. When the number of cells in the queue reaches this percentage, the node begins to discard cells with CLP=1. The default of 100% disables the function, which causes the switch to discard all cells with CLP=1 regardless of the cell count in the queue. The reason the default is 100% is that, with CBR, congestion is not an expected condition.

20

Low CLP - VBR

Specifies a percent of the VBR queue. When the number of cells in the queue falls below this percentage, the node stops discarding cells with CLP=1. The default of 100% disables the function, which causes the switch to discard all cells with CLP=1 regardless of the cell count in the queue. The reason the default is 100% is that, with VBR, congestion is not an expected condition.

21

High CLP - VBR

Specifies a percent of the VBR queue. When the number of cells in the queue reaches this percentage, the node begins to discard cells with CLP=1. The default of 100% disables the function, which causes the switch to discard all cells with CLP=1 regardless of the cell count in the queue. The reason the default is 100% is that, with VBR, congestion is not an expected condition.

22

Low CLP - ABR

Specifies a percent of the ABR queue. When the number of cells in the queue falls below this percentage, the node stops discarding cells with CLP=1.

23

High CLP - ABR

Specifies a percent of the ABR queue. When the number of cells in the queue reaches this percentage, the node begins to discard cells with CLP=1.

24

EFCN - ABR

Specifies the number of cells in the ABR queue that causes the switch to send congestion notification to the destination node. The default is low in relation to the default queue depth so that notification begins to go out as soon as congestion begins.

Red Alm - I/O (Dec)

Specifies a time period relating to when a trunk goes into red alarm and after it comes out of the alarm state. The alarm stems from a physical line problem rather than a statistical alarm. The purpose is to prevent the switch from rerouting the connections after a very brief problem or from prematurely informing switch software that the trunk is back in service. The implementation is:

  • The "into" alarm value is the time the card waits after a local, physical problem occurs before the card alerts switch software of the problem.

  • The "out of" alarm value is the time the card waits after a local, physical problem is cleared before the card alerts switch software that the problem no longer exists.

Yel Alm - I/O (Dec)

Specifies a time period relating to when a trunk goes into yellow alarm and after it comes out of the alarm state. The alarm stems from a physical line problem on a remote node rather than a statistical alarm. The purpose is to prevent the switch from rerouting the connections after a very brief problem or from prematurely informing switch software that the trunk is back in service. The implementation is:

  • The "into" alarm value is the time the card waits after a remote, physical problem occurs before the card alerts local switch software of the problem.

  • The "out of" alarm value is the time the card waits after a remote, physical problem is cleared before the card alerts local switch software that the problem no longer exists.

18

Low CLP - CBR

Specifies a percent of the CBR queue. When the number of cells in the queue falls below this percentage, the node stops discarding cells with CLP=1. The default of 100% disables the function, which causes the switch to discard all cells with CLP=1 regardless of the cell count in the queue. The reason the default is 100% is that, with CBR, congestion is not an expected condition.

19

High CLP - CBR

Specifies a percent of the CBR queue. When the number of cells in the queue reaches this percentage, the node begins to discard cells with CLP=1. The default of 100% disables the function, which causes the switch to discard all cells with CLP=1 regardless of the cell count in the queue. The reason the default is 100% is that, with CBR, congestion is not an expected condition.

19

High CLP

Specifies a percent of the transmit/receive CBR queue depth. When a transmit/receive threshold is exceeded, the node discards cells with CLP=1 in the connection until the VC queue level falls below the depth specified by Low CLP.

The cnfvchparm command modifies CDP (IPX) or CVM (IGX) channel parameters.

Attributes

Jobs: Yes Log: Yes Lock: Yes Node Type: IPX, IGX

Associated Commands

cnfcdpparm, dspchan

Syntax
cnfvchparm <channel(s)> <parameters>

specifies the voice channel number(s) to configure.

<parameters>

specifies the new parameter value to enter.



Function

This command specifies CDP card parameters relating to Voice Activity Detection (VAD), background noise injection, VF channel loss, echo suppression, and modem detection.

Upon cnfvchparm entry, the system displays "Enter channel(s)." After it has received all the parameters, the system displays "Reconfigure active CDP channels? (y/n)" for confirmation. A "y" entry immediately causes channel reconfiguration. Otherwise, channel re-configuration occurs by switching CDP cards or deleting and re-adding a connection.

The parameters that can be modified are listed in Table 1-23. Table 1-24 lists some sample calculated values for parameters 1 and 2. Table 1-25 lists the applicable values for parameter 3. Figure 1-47 and Figure 1-48 illustrates the system display for this command.

diagbus (Diagnose Failed Bus)

The diagbus command is used to diagnose a failed IPX MUXBUS.

Attributes

Jobs: No Log: Yes Lock:Yes Node Type: IPX, IGX

Associated Commands

none

Syntax
diagbus

Function

This command runs detailed diagnostics to isolate muxbus problems to a failed card or bus. It is used when a minor alarm is indicated and displaying the alarm (dspalms) screen indicates the message "bus needs diagnosis".

This command can only be run locally with a terminal connected directly to the CONTROL port or remotely from a modem connection. It can not be executed through a VT (virtual terminal) command or when the node's CONTROL port is configured for StrataView mode.

Caution This command may cause a major disruption in service on all lines and connections and should only be run at a time when this can be tolerated.

Performing this test can result in a major disruption in the operation of the node. It should not be performed except as a last resort. To fully isolate the failure may require manual removal of cards, including controller cards etc. For this reason, the command may not be executed over a Virtual Terminal connection.

If the test is successful, and no problems found, the system displays:

  Both buses are OK

Otherwise, the system displays various messages to the operator for additional steps to perform in isolating the problem. These messages depend on the results of the diagnostics testing.

Number of Failed Routes

This is the number of attempted reroutes that failed for any reason.

Number of Collisions

When a reroute is in progress, the initiating node locks all nodes on the route until the rerouting process is complete. If another node attempts to reroute through one of the locked nodes, a collision is reported and the second node must retry after a delay.

Max. # of Consec. Collisions

Is the count of consecutive collisions as defined above.

Max/Avg Secs To Select Route

Time taken within the initiating node to select a new route.

Max/Avg Secs To Perform Route

Time taken to contact and lock the nodes on the new route and perform the rerouting process.

Avg Secs to Route a Conn:

Time to perform a reroute divided by the average number of connections in a bundle.

% of Collisions/Rrt Attempt

Another statistic derived from the number of collisions and the number of reroute attempts.

Max Secs To NOT find Route

Similar to "max secs to select a route" except that the algorithm finished and no route was found.

Number of Routes not found

Number of routes not found in the rerouting process. This parameter updates periodically as a heartbeat to check for activity.

# of Rrts with rrt req_bit set

A measure of the connections awaiting rerouting. When rrt_req bit is set, indicates a reroute is not totally successful or trunk deletions or loading additions mean connections must be rerouted. Cleared by rerouting the connection.

Address of Forced Rrt Counts

A NPC memory address for database information.

Max routes checked in search

Maximum no. of PLNs examined in any one search for a new route.

Max good rts checked in search

This command displays the total number of connections being carried by the specified trunk. Rather than showing the remote end of the connection, the display lists the connection and the node that owns that connections.

This command is useful in determining the source of dropped packets in cases where the specified trunk is oversubscribed. First, use the dsptrkmcons command to list the trunks that originate at each node (the more connections per trunk, the greater the possibility of over-subscription). Next, use the dsprts command to identify any through-nodes (on which the trunk is not terminated). Finally, look at the utilization for each of these lines by using the dsputl and dspdutl commands. Figure 1-82 illustrates the dsptrkmcons command display.

dsptrkstatcnf (Display Statistics Enabled For A Trunk)

The dsptrkstatcnf command displays the enabled statistics a physical or virtual trunk.

Attributes

Jobs: No Log: Yes Lock: Yes Node Type: IPX, IGX, BPX

Associated Commands

cnftrkstats

Syntax
dsptrkstatcnf <line>

<line>

specifies the trunk: line can have the form slot, slot.port, or slot.port.vtrk. The format depends on whether the trunk card has only one or more physical ports and whether the trunk is a virtual trunk.



Function

This command displays the statistics configured as enabled for a selected trunk. It is intended for debugging statistics collection problems. It displays the trunk statistics set by the cnftrkstats command, by StrataView Plus, or by node features. Figure 1-83 illustrates an example display for an ATM trunk.

The owner column shows what set the statistic. If "Automatic", it is set by features, if node name it was is set by SV+, if user it was set with the cnftrkstats command. The display may take up to four screens to display completely depending on statistics displayed.

The dsptrkstathist command displays a history of configured statistics for a physical or virtual trunk.

Attributes

Jobs: No Log: Yes Lock: Yes Node Type: IPX, IGX, BPX

Associated Commands

cnftrkstats, dsptrkstatcnf

Syntax
dsptrkstathist <trunk>

<trunk>

specifies the trunk for which to list data.



Function

The dsptrkstathist command is a statistics debugging command. It displays the data for the last five occurrences of the selected statistic. The available trunk statistics appear on screen upon entry of the dsptrkstathist command. (The cnftrkstats command enables individual statistics. The dsptrkstatcnf command displays the enabled statistics for a trunk.) Figure 1-85 displays a statistic history for virtual trunk 1.1.1. The statistic is TX ABR Overflow Dropped Cells. This is statistic number 169, which execution of dsptrkstatcnf shows as enabled for this trunk. (If a disabled statistic is selected, a message stating this appears above the command line prompt.) The entered bucket interval is 0 minutes, which means that only the preceding 60 seconds worth of gathered data for number 169 appears.

Note Enter the owner in all capital letters. You may have to enter owner "auto" in all capital letters.

dsputl (Display Utilization)

The dsputl command displays the utilization factor for all voice connections on a specified circuit line.

Attributes

Jobs: No Log: No Lock: Yes Node Type: IPX, IGX

Associated Commands

dspdutl

Syntax
dsputl <bslot> [clear]

<bslot>

specifies the shelf back slot number of the circuit line for which to display the utilization factor.

[clear]

specifies that the utilization counters should be cleared after the display.



Function

This command displays the actual percentage utilization for all voice connections on a single circuit line specified by the back slot (bslot) number. The percentage is calculated by dividing the number of packets transmitted over the total number of packets allocated to the specified channel. Only transmit packet rates are used. If percentage of actual utilization exceeds the configured utilization the channel appears in reverse video.

Figure 1-86 illustrates a typical display. In this example, the connections from 11.1 to 11.11 use VAD and the connections from 11.12 to 11.17 do not. The connections using VAD do not use any network bandwidth (0 utilization) until the connection is used. The other connections utilize the full bandwidth (100% utilization) even though they may be idle.

Use the dspdutl command to display utilization for data channels.

forcerev (Force Revision)

The forcerev command forces a software revision to be sent down a trunk to a remote node.

Attributes

Jobs: No Log: Yes Lock: Yes Node Type: IPX, IGX, BPX

Associated Commands

dsprevs, loadrev

Syntax
forcerev <line number> <primary/secondary> <revision>

<line number>

specifies the trunk number used to send the revision.

<primary/secondary>

specifies which revision is to be sent.

<revision>

specifies the software revision to be forced down the line.



Function

This command sends a change revision message blindly down the specified trunk from the local node to the remote node. This allows primary revisions to be changed regardless of communication breaks and unreachable nodes. Usage of this command should only be necessary if a problem results in inconsistent revisions throughout a network.

Figure 1-87 illustrates an example screen. If the local node does not have the SW revision specified, the system will display "Unavailable X.X" as indicated. Use the getfwrev command to load the desired software revision into the node. Use the dsprevs command to display the revisions available on each node in the network.

Caution Use this command only when requested by StrataCom and under StrataCom supervision.

getfwrev (Get Firmware Revision)

The getfwrev command gets and loads a firmware image from StrataView, StrataView Plus, or a remote node into the specified node(s).

Attributes

Jobs: Yes Log: Yes Lock: Yes Node Type: IPX, IGX, BPX

Associated Commands

burnfwrev, dspfwrev, dspdnld

Syntax
getfwrev <image name> <nodename>

<image name>

specifies the name assigned to the firmware revision. Image names are generally in all capital letters and are case-sensitive when being entered.

<nodename>

specifies the node on which to load the revision.



Function

This command gets and loads a firmware revision image into the specified node's NPC memory. This firmware image can then be downloaded to specific interface cards within the node with the burnfwrev command. The firmware image must be already loaded into the StrataView or StrataView + terminal before using this command.

When the command is first entered, the status is temporarily "Unavailable" while the node attempts to locate the source of the firmware image. Once the download begins, a list of all of the files that make up the image is displayed and as the downloading progresses, the address of the file is updated.

Caution This command is not to be confused with loadrev. It loads system software, not firmware.

loadcnf (Load Configuration)

The loadcnf command loads a configuration image from StrataView Plus to a node.

Attributes

Jobs: Yes Log: Yes Lock: Yes Node Type: IPX, IGX, BPX, IPX/AF

Associated Commands

dspcnf, runcnf, savecnf

Syntax
loadcnf <backup_id | clear> <node_name> <source_SV_node>

<backup_id >

specifies the name of the backup configuration file to be loaded. Configuration names are case-sensitive.

<clear>

specifies that the control card buffer area used for loading a configuration be cleared.

<node name>

specifies the target node where the backup configuration file is to be loaded.

<source_SV_node>

specifies the node connected to the StrataView Plus where the configuration file backup_id resides.



Function

This command causes a saved network configuration file to be downloaded from StrataView Plus to one node or all nodes. (See savecnf.) The configuration image downloaded is temporarily stored in a buffer area in a node's controller card memory. The process runs in the background and may take several minutes if the configuration file is large. Although loaded, the configuration is not yet restored. The configuration is restored to the controller card's BRAM memory using the runcnf command.

After loading and restoring a network configuration, the control card buffer area used for this purpose should be cleared so it is available for other downloading processes, such as that of firmware. To clear the buffer area, execute loadcnf with the clear parameter specified instead of backup_id. Specify the buffer of an individual node with node_name or all nodes with *. For the purpose of clearing the buffer area, do not specify the source_SV_node parameter.

To execute this command on an IPX/AF interface shelf, telnet to the shelf or use a control terminal attached to the shelf.

loadrev (Load Revision)

The loadrev command loads a secondary system software revision image from StrataView or StrataView Plus into a node.

Attributes

Jobs: No Log: Yes Lock: Yes Node Type: IPX, IGX, BPX

Associated Commands

runrev, dsprevs

Syntax
loadrev <revision> <nodename/*>

<revision >

specifies the revision level of the system software file to be loaded.

<nodename>

specifies the target node where the secondary revision is to be loaded.

<*>

is a shorthand notation used to specify all nodes in the network.



Function

This command loads the secondary revision system software for the specified nodes. The secondary revision system software is the code that is loaded onto a controller card but is not being run. Use the runrev command after loading of a revision is complete to make the secondary revision the primary revision. The previous primary revision then becomes the secondary.

Examples of this command:

After entering the command, system responds with: "Enter Rev Number:" The dsprevs command is used to observe the software revisions that are currently loaded into the controller memory. The dspdnld command is used to display a running picture of the status of the download procedure once it has commenced.

Caution This command is not to be confused with getfwrev. It loads firmware, not system software.

prtcderrs (Print Card Errors)

The prtcderrs command prints out detailed card failure information.

Attributes

Jobs: Yes Log: No Lock: Yes Node Type: IPX, IGX, BPX

Associated Commands

clrcderrs, dspcderrs

Syntax
prtcderrs [<slot>]

<slot >

specifies the shelf slot where the selected card is installed.



Function

Prints a history of card failures associated with a specified slot on the network printer. If no argument is specified, a summary is printed, indicating the slots that have failures recorded against them. Refer to dspcderrs command for an example of a typical card error record that might be printed.

rrtcon (Reroute Connection)

The rrtcon command is used to manually reroute one or more connections.

Attributes

Jobs: Yes Log: Yes Lock: Yes Node Type: IPX, IGX, BPX

Associated Commands

drtop

Syntax
rrtcon <group|channel(s)|*>

<group|channel(s)|*>:

specifies a group, a channel, or a range of channels to be rerouted. A '*' specifies all locally owned groups and connections.



Function

This command forces a group, channel or range of channels to be rerouted. If a free-routing connection is rerouted by the system for whatever reason, it will not automatically return to its original route when the trouble clears. This may leave the connection on a path that is not the most direct or cost effective.

This command can be used to force a reroute that will likely put the connection back to its original route if available. Over time, many routes may need to be rerouted back to their original paths. In this case, use the "*" to reroute all connections.

To use this command you must first vt to the node that owns the connection (local node). If not at the local node, the system displays "This node is not owner of the connection(s)".

There is no provision for specifying a route. The node determines the connection route according to the same rules that are used when adding a new connection. If there is no network bandwidth available to reroute the connection, the connection will be marked as failed.

Caution Entering this command on a connection that is in service should be done with some discretion as the reroute will interrupt service for as long as it takes to reroute the connection.

rststats (Reset Statistics Collection TIme)

The rststats command resets the statistics collection time for the tststats command.

Attributes

Jobs: Yes Log: No Lock: Yes Node Type: IPX, IGX

Associated Commands

Syntax
rststats

Function

This command resets the collection time for the tststats command. The tststats command displays a test statistics summary. Before there will be any meaningful statistics, the tstcon command must be performed on one or more network connections. Refer to the Command Reference for information on the tstcon command. Figure 1-88 illustrates the system response.

runcnf (Run Configuration)

The runcnf command restores a network configuration image at one or all nodes.

Attributes

Jobs: No Log: Yes Lock: Yes Node Type: IPX, IGX, BPX, IPX/AF

Associated Commands

savecnf, loadcnf, clrcnf

Syntax
runcnf <backup_id> <node_name>

<backup_id>

specifies the name of the configuration image loaded from StrataView Plus. Configuration names are case-sensitive.

<node_name>

specifies the node name to receive the configuration. An asterisk (*) specifies all nodes.



Function

This command restores the specified configuration to the controller card's BRAM memory and overwrites the current configuration. Once restored, the specified node (or all nodes) rebuilds with the restored configuration image. To execute this command on an IPX/AF interface shelf, telnet to the shelf or use a control terminal attached to the shelf.

This command is usually run after a previous configuration has been lost. If doubts exist about the state of the configuration at other nodes in the network, load the configuration into all nodes by specifying "*" for the node name. The new configuration must have previously been loaded into the controller buffer area with the loadcnf command.

Caution All network nodes must be run with the same configuration.

The system may display two warnings in response to the runcnf command:

A. When single node specified:

B. When all nodes specified:

If a single node is not reachable, responding with a "Y" does not affect the operation of the network. If node(s) do not all have the specified configuration or all are unreachable, it is not recommended that you continue until after the problem is resolved.

runrev (Run Revision)

The runrev command runs a specific revision of the system software revision at a node.

Attributes

Jobs: No Log: Yes Lock: Yes Node Type: IPX, IGX, BPX

Associated Commands

dsprevs, loadrev

Syntax
runrev <revision> <nodename/*>

<backup_id>

specifies the name of configuration image loaded from StrataView Plus. Image names are generally in all capital letters and are case-sensitive when being entered.

<node_name>

specifies the node name to rebuild with a new configuration.

'*'

is a shorthand notation used to specify all nodes in the network.



Function

This command sets the primary revision for the specified nodes. The primary software revision is the one that is actively controlling node operation. A non-active secondary revision that does not match the primary revision may also be loaded in the controller. To set the primary software revision, enter:

After entering the command, system responds with "Enter Rev Number". Use the dsprevs command to determine which rev(s), primary and secondary, are available on the node. The runrev command will be ignored if the required revision is not present on the node.

You may need to load the new revision onto the StrataView Plus terminal and then use loadrev command to download the new software image into the standby controller before you issue the runrev command. If you enter a revision number that does not exist at the node, the system displays the message

  "Warning—the node does not have the specified revision. Continue? Y/N
Caution All network nodes must be run with the same software revision or abnormal network operation will be experienced.

If you respond "no", the system takes you back to the main StrataView Plus prompt and you have an opportunity to change the rev. number and make a second attempt to run the corrected revision.

savecnf (Save Configuration)

The savecnf command saves a configuration image on a StrataView Plus workstation disk.

Attributes

Jobs: Yes Log: Yes Lock: Yes Node Type: IPX, IGX, BPX, IPX/AF

Associated Commands

loadcnf, runcnf, clrcnf

Syntax
savecnf <backup_id | clear> <node_name> <dest_SV_node> [<dest_SV_ip>]

<backup_id>

specifies the name of a configuration to be saved on StrataView Plus. The Backup ID must be 1-8 alphanumeric characters with the first character being alphabetic. Configuration names are case-sensitive.

<clear>

specifies that the buffer area should be cleared.

<node_name>

specifies the node name to save configuration on. '*' may be specified to indicate all nodes.

<dest_SV_node>

specifies the node name where StrataView Plus is connected and that is to receive the specified backup_id.

<dest_SV_IP>

for IPX/AF interface shelves only, this optional specification is the IP address of the StrataView Plus that is to receive the configuration image.



Function

The savecnf command has two possible applications. It saves all the configurations for the nodes in a routing network, or it saves the configuration of one IPX/AF interface shelf to a specific StrataView Plus workstation. Once saved, the configuration may be restored to BRAM using the loadcnf and runcnf commands. The savecnf command should be executed in the following situations:

Execution on a Routing Node

In a routing network, savecnf saves a configuration image for one node or all routing nodes (node_name = *) on the StrataView Plus workstation specified by dest_SV_node.

Execution on an IPX/AF Interface Shelf

To execute savecnf on an IPX/AF, either telnet to the shelf or use a control terminal attached to it: savecnf saves a configuration image of only this IPX/AF. The image is stored on the workstation with the IP address in the parameter dest_SV_ip. (In a routing network, dest_SV_ip is not necessary.) Note that node_name and dest_SV_node must both be the name of the IPX/AF. The IP address of the destination StrataView Plus workstation uniquely identifies where to store the configuration image.

setfpevt (Set FastPAD Event Reporting)

The setfpevt command enables the reporting of FastPAD events.

Attributes

Jobs: No Log: Yes Lock: Yes Node Type: IPX, IGX

Associated Commands

clrfpevt, dsplog

Syntax
setfpevt <slot.port>

<slot.port>

specifies the slot and port of the FastPAD.



Function

Executing setfpevt restarts FastPAD event logging after you have stopped logging by using clrfpevt.

The reason for executing clrfpevt is to prevent the large number of logged events that accumulate when certain user-controlled disruptions occur. Without suspension of event-logging, the number of events caused by the disruption can cause the FastPAD to become unreachable. Examples of these events are:

Example

setfpevt 9.3

Description

The example command resumes event logging for the FastPAD connected to port 9.3.

Note No screen appears when setfpevt executes. Figure 1-89 shows the dsplog output after a sequence of clrfpevt then setfpevt. Earlier FastPAD events appear near the bottom of the screen.
