ExtremeWare XOS 11.0 Command Reference Guide 955
run diagnostics
run diagnostics [extended | normal] slot [<slot> | A | B]
Description
Runs normal or extended diagnostics on the slot or management module.
Syntax Description
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
If you run the diagnostic routine on an I/O module, that module is taken off-line while the diagnostic
test is performed. The ports on the module do not forward traffic. Once the diagnostic test is completed,
the I/O module is automatically reset and becomes operational again.
NOTE
Run diagnostics when the switch can be brought off-line. The tests conducted are extensive and affect
traffic that must be processed by the system CPU. The diagnostics are processed by the CPU whether
you run them on an I/O or a management module.
On an I/O module, the extended diagnostic routine can require significantly more time to complete,
depending on the number of ports on the module.
On a management module, the module is taken offline while the diagnostics test is performed. Once the
diagnostic test is completed, the MSM reboots, and becomes operational again.
Viewing Diagnostics. To view results of the last diagnostics test run, use the following command:
show diagnostics slot [<slot> | A | B]
If the results indicate that the diagnostic failed, replace the module with another module of the same
type.
extended Runs an extended diagnostic routine. Takes the ports offline, and performs
extensive ASIC and packet loopback tests.
normal Runs a normal diagnostic routine. Takes the ports offline, and performs a
simple ASIC and packet loopback test on all the ports.
slot Specifies the slot number of an I/O module. I/O modules are installed in slots
1 through 8.
A | B Specifies the MSM. A specifies the MSM installed in slot A. B specifies the
MSM installed in slot B.
