3. You can then select

Start Debug

and begin receiving debug information for the item you selected.

CLI Troubleshooting

After configuring the 3G CDMA cellular interface and the demand routing interface, several different

debug

commands can be issued from the Enable mode in the CLI to assist in troubleshooting. The

debug

commands send messages when certain types of activity are detected on the interface, and work
hand-in-hand with the

show

commands to verify proper configuration and performance. The

show

commands are described in

Viewing Interface Statistics Using the CLI

on page 47

of this guide. The

debug

commands are detailed in the following table.

Table 6. Cellular and Demand Routing Interface Debug Command Summary
