Online Diagnostic Tests

This appendix describes the online diagnostic tests and provides recommendations for how to use them.

Note

For information about configuring online diagnostic tests see Chapter 14, Configuring Online Diagnostics. We recommend that before you enable any online diagnostics tests that you enable the logging console/monitor to see all warning messages. We recommend that when you are running disruptive tests that you only run the tests when connected through console. When disruptive tests are complete a warning message on the console recommends that you reload the system to return to normal operation: strictly follow this warning. While tests are running, all ports are shut down as a stress test is being performed with looping ports internally and external traffic might affect the test results. The switch must be rebooted to bring the switch to normal operation. When you issue the command to reload the switch, the system will ask you if the configuration should be saved. Do not save the configuration. If you are running the tests on the switch processor (SP), after the test is initiated and complete, you must reload or power down and then power up the switch. If you are running the tests on other modules, after the test is initiated and complete, you must reset the module.

Tip

For additional information about Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switches (including configuration examples and troubleshooting information), see the documents listed on this page: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps708/tsd_products_support_series_home.html

TestEARLInternalTables
The TestEARLInternalTables test detects most PFC and DFC hardware table problems by running consistency checks on the PFC and DFC hardware tables. The test runs every 5 minutes. A failure of the test for the PFC results in one of these actions:

Failover to the redundant supervisor engine. If a redundant supervisor engine is not installed, shutdown of the supervisor engine. Up to two resets of the DFC-equipped switching module. Shutdown following a third failure.

A failure of the test for a test of a DFC results in one of these actions:

A CallHome message is generated if CallHome is configured on the system.

TestUnusedPortLoopback
The TestUnusedPortLoopback test verifies the data path between the supervisor engine and the network ports of a module in the runtime periodically. In this test, a Layer 2 packet is flooded onto the VLAN associated with the test port and the supervisor engine inband port only. The packet loops back in the port and returns to the supervisor engine on the same VLAN. It's similar to TestLoopback but only runs on unused (admin down) network ports and only one unused port per port ASIC. This test substitutes the lack of nondisruptive loopback test in current ASICs and runs every 60 seconds.

TestPortTxMonitoring
The test polls the transmit counters on each port periodically and displays a syslog and error disables the port if no activity is seen for the configured time interval and failure threshold. You configure the time interval and threshold by entering the diagnostic monitor interval and diagnostic monitor threshold commands. The test does not source any packets, but leverages the CDP protocol that transmits packets periodically. If CDP is disabled, the polling for that port is skipped. The test runs every 75 seconds and the failure threshold is set to 5 by default.

TestSnrMonitoring
The TestSnrMonitoring test monitors the health of the WS-X6716-10GT-3C and WS-X6716-10GT-3CXL linecards. The test is added to the WS-X6716-10GT-3C and WS-X6716-10GT-3CXL linecards for standalone and VSS (Virtual Switching Systems) setups. The SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) margin for a port varies between 12.7 dB to +12.7 dB. The test uses the following two threshold levels to compare SNR:

Minor threshold at +1.0 dB Major threshold at 0.0 dB

When the SNR value drops below the minor threshold, the test logs a minor warning message. When the SNR value drops below the major threshold, the test logs a major warning message. Similarly, recovery messages are logged when SNR recovers the two threshold levels. The default interval for the test is 30 seconds and can be configured to as low as 10 seconds for faster monitoring. The TestSnrMonitoring is not a bootup test and cannot be run on demand.

Stress Tests
The stress tests consist of the following tests:

TestTrafficStress, page A-41 TestEobcStressPing, page A-41 TestMicroburst, page A-42

TestTrafficStress
The TestTrafficStress test stress tests the switch and the installed modules by configuring all of the ports on the modules into pairs, which then pass packets between each other. After allowing the packets to pass through the switch for a predetermined period, the test verifies that the packets are not dropped.
Table A-72 TestTrafficStress Test Attributes

Attribute Disruptive/Nondisruptive Recommendation Default Release Corrective action Hardware support

Description Disruptive. Disruption is several minutes. Use this test to qualify hardware before installing it in your network. Off. 12.2(18)SXF. Not applicable. Supervisor Engine 720 and Supervisor Engine 32.

TestEobcStressPing
The TestEobcStressPing test stress tests a modules EOBC link with the supervisor engine. The test is started when the supervisor engine initiates a number of sweep-ping processes (the default is one). The sweep-ping process pings the module with 20,000 SCP-ping packets. The test passes if all 20,000 packets respond before each packet-ping timeout, which is two seconds. If unsuccessful, the test allows five retries to account for traffic bursts on the EOBC bus during the test.

The TestFabricCh0Health and TestFabricCh1Health tests are also considered critical recovery tests. See the Fabric Tests section on page A-34 for a description of these tests.

TestL3HealthMonitoring
The TestL3HealthMonitoring test triggers a set of diagnostic tests involving IPv4 and IPv6 packet switching on a local DFC whenever the system tries to self-recover from a detected hardware fault. The tests shut down the front panel port (usually port 1) for testing purposes. If the diagnostic tests are not passing, it is an indication that the hardware fault cannot be fixed and a self-recovery sequence will be applied again
Table A-75 TestL3HealthMonitoring Test Attributes

Attribute Disruptive/Nondisruptive

Description Disruptive. Disruption is typically less than one second. Duration of the disruption depends on the configuration of looped-back port (for example, Spanning Tree Protocol). Forwarding and port functions are disrupted during the test. Do not disable. Off. 12.2(14)SX.
