FTOS Switch Agent (SWAGT) monitors the IDP and BDP links on the line cards.
FTOS Link Monitoring task continually polls the status of the IDP and BDP links. If it finds an open link,
the system brings down the link and reports the condition via a message similar to the one shown in
Message 1 .
If a backplane link on a line card goes down, the RPM side of the link stays up to avoid duplicate reporting.
Bringing down an IDP or BDP link causes the card to be powered-off and placed into a "card problem -
port pipe problem" state. Use the
show linecard
command to view the status of a line card.
If a single BDP link to the active RPM is down, the line card will be placed in an error state. Use the
show
switch links
command to view the status of the dataplane links, as shown in Figure 60-2 .
Figure 60-2. show switch links backplane Command Example
To monitor the status of a virtual SFM, use the
show sfm
command shown in Figure 60-3 . The system
reports an “active” status if all CSF ASICs on the RPM initialize successfully, whether or not any line
cards are installed and the BDP links are up.
