What Information Should You Collect?
•
Mandatory technical information:
—
Before reboot, use the
show tech
CLI command to collect system information.
—
System log (switch log—volatile, NVRAM; external log—complete remote SYSLOG file for the
day of the event)
—
Topology diagram
•
Background information:
—
Any recent hardware or configuration changes
—
Detailed description of all the known symptoms
—
Was there a service impact?
—
Define the scope of the service impact (For example: Only one user? All users on one
BlackDiamond system? All users in the IDC? Multiple switches? Random or pattern? Which
modules? Which ports? Etc.
—
Trend: Recurrent event? Frequency? Etc.
—
If the problem was resolved, what steps did you take to diagnose and resolve the problem?
•
Optional information (upon request from Extreme Networks TAC personnel)
—
System dump (CPU memory dump)
•
Additional CLI commands for information include:
—
show diagnostics
—
show log
(do the complete log, rather than just part of the log)
—
show configuration
—
show switch
—
show version
Analyzing Data
•
Check the log and the output from the
show diags
command to determine whether a hardware
fault was indicated.
•
If a hardware fault is indicated:
—
Determine whether a module was taken off line. If “yes,” it should be obvious which module
must be replaced.
—
If not, refer to the
“Diagnostic Troubleshooting”
section (below).
•
If the module can be identified clearly from the diagnostic messages, and the outage was
service-affecting, replace the faulty module.
•
If the module cannot be identified clearly from the diagnostic messages, contact TAC for further
troubleshooting.
