Use the debugging and diagnostics commands described in this chapter to troubleshoot switch operation.
This chapter contains the following sections:

• Hardware Commands
Topics:
• Offline Diagnostic Commands
• Hardware Commands
Offline Diagnostic Commands
Use the offline diagnostics test suite to isolate faults and debug switch hardware. While tests are running, the
system results are saved as a text file in the flash directory: TestReport- N .txt , where N is 0,1, or 2 for the line-
card processor (LP) and 0 for the Control processor (CP) and Route Processor (RP). To display the system
results in this text file, use the
show file
command.
Important Points to Remember
• Offline diagnostics can only be run when the unit is offline.
• You can only run offline diagnostics on a unit to which you are connected via the console. In other
words, you cannot run diagnostics on a unit to which you are connected to via a stacking link.
• Diagnostic results are printed to the screen. The Dell Networking OS does not write them to memory.
• Diagnostics only test connectivity, not the entire data path.
diag
Run offline diagnostics on all CPUs or on a specified CPU in the switch.
