Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting

Since the Service Node is an integrated BPX switch, AXIS interface shelf, and Extended Services Processor (ESP), troubleshooting ATM or Frame Relay SVCs will involve isolating the problem between the units. The BPX switch has its own self-tests and trouble shooting procedures described in the Cisco StrataCom BPX Reference. Likewise, the AXIS shelf has its own self-tests and troubleshooting procedures described in the Cisco StrataCom AXIS Reference.

There are no field replaceable units (FRUs) in the ESP. It is removed and replaced as a unit. When an ESP fails, it is replaced with a new unit.

This appendix contains the following sections:

ESP Status

There are several things you can do to check the current status of the ESP:

PNNI Show Commands

The PNNI show commands (also known as pncli) are a troubleshooting tool that can be used to troubleshooting SVCs that are using PNNI routing. The PNNI show commands are supplied in the tools directory (/opt/aps/tools) as pncli.

The following PNNI Show commands can be used to troubleshoot SVC connections when PNNI routing is used in your network:

These commands are used to show detailed information about the way PNNI and PNNI routes have been configured in your network.

Running pncli

To run the PNNI show commands, follow these steps:


Step 1   Log in to the ESP as an UNIX-level user.

Step 2   Change to the tools directory:

#>cd /opt/aps/tools

Step 3   Start the pncli

./pncli

When pncli is running, the prompt will change to pnni>>

By entering a help or a question mark (?), you will see the list of the PNNI show commands as shown in Figure A-1. Type quit to exit pncli.


Figure A-1: pncli Help List


The commands in the help list are executed by typing show then the argument. For instance,

show database

or
show local-node.


Note Figure A-1 displays the current list of PNNI show commands. They may be modified before the ESP is released.

Show Database

The Show PNNI PTSE Database (show database) command displays the PTSEs originated by a specified node contained in the local BPX Service Node's PNNI topology database. The PTSEs may be originated by the local node itself or advertised by other nodes in the same peer group. The PTSEs are displayed in ascending order of the PTSE Id. This command has the following syntax:

pnni>> show database [node-index] [detail]

The syntax detail specifies the amount of the information to be displayed. If detail is not present, only the content of the PTSE header is displayed, otherwise, all the attached information groups, if any, are also displayed.

The following is a sample of a typical show database command output without the detail option:

The Show PNNI Reachable Addresses (show reachable-addresses) displays all the reachable addresses and address prefixes as seen from the local node, along with the associated information, such as advertising Node Id, etc. It has the following syntax:

pnni>> show reachable-addresses {local | network}

If the option local is used, only those addresses directly attached to the local node are displayed. If the option network is used, only those addresses advertised by other nodes are displayed.

The following is a sample of typical output for the show reachable addresses with the local option used:

ESP Traps

The SNMP traps, which are sent from the ESP to StrataView Plus to notify it of an ESP event, are listed in Table A-1. Each trap is named followed by a description of when it is sent from the ESP to StrataView Plus. Each trap includes a timestamp and severity indicator which can be Clear, Minor, or Major.


Table A-1:
ESP Traps
Trap Description

apsStartUpTrap

This trap is generated whenever the ESP is started up. It indicates the current status and role of the ESP.

apsStateDown

This trap is sent when the status of an ESP changes from IN_SERVICE to OUT_OF_SERVICE. It indicates that the status of the ESP is down.

apsStateUp

This trap is sent when the status of an ESP changes from OOS to IS. It indicates that the status of the ESP is UP.

rednApsNotAvailable

This trap is sent when the redundant ESP goes down, which results in this ESP becoming stand-alone.

rednApsAvailable

This trap is sent when the redundant ESP comes up, which results in this ESP going active from the stand-alone state.

apsNodeDown

This trap is sent when the ESP detects a change in the state of a node. The ESP determines that the node has gone out of service, if it loses heartbeat with the node.

apsPortUp

This trap is sent when a port comes to In Service.

axisShelfDown

This trap is sent when the Keepalive is lost with the shelf.

slotVccFail

This trap is sent when the BXM handler encounters successive timeouts.

annexGFail

This trap is sent when the Annex G is lost between the ESP and BPX.

dbConfigError

This trap is sent when the Standby update tries to update the configuration data on the disk or send it over to the redundant ESP and encounters an error.

aggregateStatus

This trap is sent when there is a change in the alarm severity. The new value is also sent.

billDiskMemLow

This trap is sent when the disk free space falls to less than a specified level. The severity is Minor. The alarm status is cleared when free space reaches acceptable level. The default of freeMemoryPercent is 30. This trap occurs when billing files are created but the external data server does not remove them.

billDiskMemOk

This trap is sent when free space reaches acceptable level to less than freeMemoryPercent.

billingFileDeleted

This trap is sent when the disk free space falls to less than acceptable level as defined and hence the older files are deleted. The severity is Major and is cleared by billDiskMemOk. This trap occurs when billing files are created but the external data server does not remove them.

nicRdwrError

This trap is sent when the lower layer of the stack fails to read from the NIC card.

nicRdwrOk

This trap is sent when the lower layer of the stack succeeds to read from the NIC card after a failure.

frQ922LinkDown

This trap is sent when Q922 link goes down.

frQ922LinkUp

This trap is sent when the Q922 link comes up.

sigPvcBldFail

This trap is sent when the system manager process fails to build a PVC for the port.

frProtocolError

This trap is sent when the system manager process fails to build a PVC for the port.

frProtocolError

This trap is sent when there is an error in one of the layers of the FR stack.

frStackEnabled

This trap is sent when the layer manager enables stack for the Frame Relay port.

frStackDisabled

This trap is sent when the layer manager disables stack for the Frame Relay port.

sysResFail

This trap is sent when the ESP fails to acquire some system resources like memory, timers, etc.

nicOpenError

This trap is sent when the lower layer of the stack fails to open the ATM NIC.

nicVccError

This trap is sent when the lower layer of the stack fails to open a VCC on the ATM NIC.

APS was an early name for the ESP. When you see it in a trap, it refers to the ESP.
