S-Series Debugging and Diagnostics
This chapter contains three sections:
• Offline Diagnostic Commands
• Buffer Tuning Commands
• Hardware Commands
Offline Diagnostic Commands
The offline diagnostics test suite is useful for isolating faults and debugging hardware. While tests are
running, FTOS results are saved as a text file (TestReport-SU-X.txt) in the flash directory. This show
file command is available only on master and standby.
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 console.
In other words, you cannot run diagnostics on a unit to which you are connected via a stacking
link.
• Diagnostic results are printed to the screen. FTOS does not write them to memory.
• Diagnostics only test connectivity, not the entire data path.
The offline diagnostics commands are:
• diag stack-unit
• offline stack-unit
• online stack-unit
diag stack-unit
