Layer 2 Switching Problems

•

Make sure that the state of the port is up. If not, verify the configuration of the port on the VSM.

Step 4

View the VLANs and port lists on a particular VEM.

switch#

module vem

module-number

execute vemcmd show bd

If you are trying to verify that a port belongs to a particular VLAN, make sure that you see the port name
or LTL in the port list of that VLAN.

Verifying a Connection Between VEMs

You can verify a connection between vEth ports on two separate VEMs.

Step 1

Check if the VLAN associated with the port is created on the VSM.

switch#

show vlan

Step 2

Check if the ports are up in the VSM.

switch#

show interface brief

Step 3

On the VEM, check if the CBL state of the two ports is set to the value of 1 for forwarding (active).

switch#

module vem 3 execute vemcmd show port

Step 4

On the VEM, check if the two vEth ports are listed in the flood list of the VLAN with which they are
trying to communicate.

switch#

module vem 3 execute vemcmd show bd

Step 5

Verify that the uplink switch to which the VEMs are connected is carrying the VLAN to which the ports
belong.

Step 6

Find out the port on the upstream switch to which the PNIC (that is supposed to be carrying the VLAN)
on the VEM is connected to.

switch# s

how cdp neighbors

Example

switch#
