Introduction

This document provides information about troubleshooting common software and hardware issues with S6890 Switch Series.

This document is not restricted to specific software or hardware versions.

General guidelines

IMPORTANT

IMPORTANT:

To prevent an issue from causing loss of configuration, save the configuration each time you finish configuring a feature. For configuration recovery, regularly back up the configuration to a remote server.

 

When you troubleshoot S6890 switches, follow these general guidelines:

·     To help identify the cause of the issue, collect system and configuration information, including:

¡     Symptom, time of failure, and configuration.

¡     Network topology information, including the network diagram, port connections, and points of failure.

¡     Log messages and diagnostic information. For more information about collecting this information, see "Collecting log and operating information."

¡     Physical evidence of failure:

-     Photos of the hardware.

-     Status of the LEDs.

¡     Steps you have taken, such as reconfiguration, cable swapping, and reboot.

¡     Output from the commands executed during the troubleshooting process.

·     To ensure safety, wear an ESD wrist strap when you replace or maintain a hardware component.

Collecting log and operating information

IMPORTANT

IMPORTANT:

By default, the information center is enabled. If the feature is disabled, you must use the info-center enable command to enable the feature for collecting log messages.

 

Table 1 shows the types of files that the system uses to store operating log and status information. You can export these files by using FTP, TFTP, or USB.

In an IRF system, these files are stored on the master device. Multiple MPUs will have log files if master/subordinate switchovers have occurred. You must collect log files from all these devices. To more easily locate log information, use a consistent rule to categorize and name files. For example, save log files to a separate folder for each member device, and include their slot numbers in the folder names.

Table 1 Log and operating information

Category

File name format

Content

Common log

logfileX.log

Command execution and operational log messages.

Diagnostic log

diagfileX.log

Diagnostic log messages about device operation, including the following items:

·     Parameter settings in effect when an error occurs.

·     Information about a device startup error.

·     Handshaking information between member devices when a communication error occurs.

Operating statistics

file-basename.gz

Current operating statistics for feature modules, including the following items:

·     Device status.

·     CPU status.

·     Memory status.

·     Configuration status.

·     Software entries.

·     Hardware entries.

 

Collecting common log messages

1.     Save common log messages from the log buffer to a log file:

By default, the log file is saved in the logfile directory of the flash memory on each member device.

<Sysname> logfile save

The contents in the log file buffer have been saved to the file flash:/logfile/logfile.log

2.     Identify the log file on each member device:

# Display the log file on the master device.

<Sysname> dir flash:/logfile/

Directory of flash:/logfile

   0 -rw-       21863 Jul 11 2013 16:00:37   logfile.log

1048576 KB total (38812 KB free)

# Display the log file on each subordinate device:

<Sysname> dir slot2#flash:/logfile/

Directory of flash:/logfile

   0 -rw-       21863 Jul 11 2013 16:00:37   logfile.log

1048576 KB total (38812 KB free)

3.     Transfer the files to the desired destination by using FTP, TFTP, or USB. (Details not shown.)

Collecting diagnostic log messages

1.     Save diagnostic log messages from the diagnostic log file buffer to a diagnostic log file:

By default, the diagnostic log file is saved in the diagfile directory of the flash memory on each member device.

<Sysname> diagnostic-logfile save

The contents in the diagnostic log file buffer have been saved to the file flash:/diagfile/diagfile.log

2.     Identify the log file on each member device:

# Display the log file on the master device.

<Sysname> dir flash:/diagfile/

Directory of flash:/diagfile

   0 -rw-      161321 Jul 11 2013 16:16:00   diagfile.log

1048576 KB total (38812 KB free)

3.     Transfer the files to the desired destination by using FTP, TFTP, or USB. (Details not shown.)

Collecting operating statistics

You can collect operating statistics by saving the statistics to a file or displaying the statistics on the screen.

When you collect operating statistics, follow these guidelines:

·     Log in to the device through a network or management port instead of the console port, if possible. Network and management ports are faster than the console port.

·     Do not execute commands while operating statistics are being collected.

·     As a best practice, save operating statistics to a file to retain the information.

To collect operating statistics:

1.     Disable pausing between screens of output if you want to display operating statistics on the screen. Skip this step if you are saving statistics to a file.

<Sysname> screen-length disable

2.     Collect operating statistics for multiple feature modules.

<Sysname> display diagnostic-information

Save or display diagnostic information (Y=save, N=display)? [Y/N] :

3.     At the prompt, choose to save or display operating statistics:

# To save operating statistics, enter y at the prompt and then specify the destination file path.

Save or display diagnostic information (Y=save, N=display)? [Y/N] : Y

Please input the file name(*.tar.gz)[flash:/diag.tar.gz] :

Diagnostic information is outputting to flash:/diag.tar.gz.

Please wait...

Save successfully.

<Sysname> dir flash:/

Troubleshooting hardware

This section provides troubleshooting information for common hardware issues.

 

 

NOTE:

This section describes how to troubleshoot switch reboot failure, power module failure, and fan tray failure. To troubleshoot transceiver modules, ports, and temperature alarms, see "Troubleshooting ports" and "Troubleshooting system management."

 

Switch reboot failure

Symptom

The switch fails to reboot.

Troubleshooting flowchart

Figure 1 Troubleshooting switch reboot failure

 

Solution

To resolve the issue:

1.     Verify that the system software image on the switch is correct.

a.     Log in to the switch through the console port and restart the switch. If the system reports that a CRC error occurs or that no system software image is available during the BootWare loading process, reload the system software image.

b.     Verify that the system software image in the flash memory is the same size as the one on the server. If no system software image is available in the flash memory, or if the image size is different from the one on the server, reload the system software image. Then set the reloaded system software image to the current system software image.

The system software image in the flash memory is automatically set to the current system software image during the BootWare loading process.

2.     Verify that the memory is running correctly.

Reboot the switch, and immediately press CTRL+T to examine the memory. If a memory fault is detected, replace the switch.

3.     Verify that no error is reported during the BootWare loading process.

If the memory is running correctly but there are still errors reported during the BootWare loading process, replace the switch.

4.     If the issue persists, contact H3C Support.

Remove and reinstall the fan tray to ensure that the fan tray is installed securely. Then execute the display fan command to verify that the fan tray has changed to Normal state. If the fan tray remains in Absent state, replace the fan tray.

3.     Verify that the fan tray is operating correctly.

a.     Identify whether the fan tray is faulty.

-     Execute the display environment command to view temperature information.

If the temperature continues to rise, put your hand at the air outlet to feel if air is being expelled out of the air outlet. If no air is being expelled out of the air outlet, the fan tray is faulty.

-     Execute the display fan command to view the fan speed information.

If the fan speed is less than 500 rpm, the fan tray is faulty.

b.     If the fan tray is faulty, remove and reinstall the fan tray to make sure the fan tray is installed securely. Then execute the display fan command to verify that the fan tray has changed to Normal state.

c.     If the fan tray remains in Fault state, replace the fan tray.

You must make sure the switching operating temperature is below 60°C (140°F) while you replace the fan tray. If a new fan tray is not readily available, power off the switch to avoid damage caused by high temperature.

4.     If the issue persists, contact H3C Support.

Figure 8 Troubleshooting digital diagnosis failure on a transceiver module

 

Solution

To resolve the issue:

1.     Verify that the transceiver module is an H3C transceiver module:

Execute the display transceiver interface command to view the vendor name of the transceiver module.

¡     If the vendor name field does not display H3C, replace the transceiver module with an H3C transceiver module.

¡     If the vendor name field displays H3C, perform the following tasks:

-     Execute the display transceiver register interface command in probe view to save the transceiver module information.

-     Provide the information to H3C Support to verify that the transceiver module is an H3C transceiver module. If it is not, replace it with an H3C transceiver module.

2.     Execute the display transceiver interface command to save the transceiver module information, and contact H3C Support to verify that the transceiver module supports the digital diagnosis function.

3.     If the issue persists, collect diagnostic information and contact H3C Support.

To collect diagnostic information, execute the display diagnostic-information command to display or save running status data for multiple feature modules.

Save or display diagnostic information (Y=save, N=display)? [Y/N]:Y

Error frames (for example, CRC errors) on a port

Symptom

In the output from the display interface command, error frames exist (for example, CRC error frames).

Troubleshooting flowchart

Figure 9 Troubleshooting error frames (for example, CRC errors) on a port

 

Solution

To resolve the issue:

1.     Examine the error frame statistics and identify the error frame type:

a.     (Optional.) Use the reset counter interface command in user view to clear the packet statistics of the port.

This command resets all packet counters to 0, so that you can view the statistics changes more clearly.

b.     Use the display interface command to display the incoming packet statistics and outgoing packet statistics of the port.

c.     Determine the type of error frames that are accumulating.

2.     If the port is a fiber port, verify that the optical power of the transceiver module is operating correctly:

a.     Use the display transceiver diagnosis interface command to view the present measured values of the digital diagnosis parameters for the transceiver module.

<Sysname> display transceiver diagnosis interface HundredGigE1/0/25

Low   -5         2.97        8.00      -17.70         -11.00   

b.     If the optical power of the transceiver module is not within the correct range, replace the transceiver module with a transceiver module of the same model that is operating correctly.

3.     Verify that the port configurations are correct:

a.     Execute the display interface brief command.

b.     Determine whether the speed and duplex mode of the port match the speed and duplex mode of the peer port.

c.     If they do not match, use the speed command and the duplex command to set the speed and duplex mode for the port.

4.     Verify that the link medium connected to the port is operating correctly.

Plug the link medium into a new port that is operating correctly. If error frames still exist, replace the link medium.

5.     Determine whether the port has received a large amount of flow control frames:

a.     Use the display interface command to view the number of pause frames.

If the number of pause frames is accumulating, you can determine that the port has sent or received a large amount of flow control frames.

b.     Verify that the incoming traffic and outgoing traffic have not exceeded the maximum traffic processing capability of the local device and the peer device.

6.     If the issue persists, collect diagnostic information and contact H3C Support.

To collect diagnostic information, execute the display diagnostic-information command to display or save running status data for multiple feature modules.

Save or display diagnostic information (Y=save, N=display)? [Y/N]:Y

Failure to receive packets

Symptom

A port is up, but it cannot receive packets.

Troubleshooting flowchart

Figure 10 Troubleshooting failure to receive packets

 

 

Solution

To resolve the issue:

1.     Verify that the ports at both ends are up.

2.     Examine the packet statistics of the port:

a.     (Optional.) Use the reset counter interface command in user view to clear the packet statistics of the port.

This command resets all packet counters to 0, so that you can view the statistics changes more clearly.

b.     Use the display interface command to verify that the number of incoming packets is accumulating.

c.     Verify that the number of error frames is not accumulating.

3.     Verify that the port configurations do not affect packet receiving:

a.     Use the display interface brief command to verify that the port configurations are correct.

The port configurations include the duplex mode, speed, port type, and VLAN configurations of the ports at both ends of the link. If configuration errors exist, modify the port configurations. If the port still fails to receive packets, use the shutdown command and then the undo shutdown command to re-enable the port.

b.     If the port is configured with the spanning tree feature, use the display stp brief command to verify that the port is not in the discarding state.

If the port is set to the discarding state by the spanning tree feature, examine and modify the spanning tree feature configurations to resolve the issue.

As a best practice, configure the port as an edge port or disable the spanning tree feature on the port if it is directly connected to a terminal.

c.     If the port is in an aggregation group, use the display link-aggregation summary command to verify that the status of the port is Selected.

If the status of the port is Unselected, the port cannot send or receive data packets. Determine the reasons why the port becomes Unselected, for example, the attribute configurations of the port are different from the reference port. Modify the attribute configurations of the port to make the port become Selected.

4.     Verify that the link medium connected to the port is operating correctly.

Plug the link medium into a new port that is operating correctly. If the new port cannot receive packets, replace the link medium.

5.     If the issue persists, collect diagnostic information and contact H3C Support.

To collect diagnostic information, execute the display diagnostic-information command to display or save running status data for multiple feature modules.

Incorrect port information

Symptom

The port transceiver module type cannot be correctly identified, and the diagnosis information is incorrect. The port transceiver module is displayed as absent, or sometimes present and sometimes absent.

Troubleshooting flowchart

Figure 12 Troubleshooting incorrect port information

 

Solution

1.     Execute the display transceiver interface command to view basic information of the transceiver modules and identify the incorrect information of the transceiver module.

2.     See the installation guide for the device to identify whether the transceiver module is supported. If the transceiver module is not supported, replace it with an H3C transceiver module supported by the device.

3.     Identify whether the I2C of the port is normal.

a.     Identify whether the transceiver module type or diagnosis information of another port of the same PHY (typically, a neighboring port) is incorrect. If the transceiver module type or diagnosis information of another port is also incorrect, the I2C might be abnormal. Contact H3C Support.

b.     If another port does not have this problem, replace the transceiver module. If the problem is resolved after replacement, contact H3C Support.

A port flaps

Symptom

A port flaps.

Troubleshooting flowchart

Figure 14 Troubleshooting port flapping

 

Solution

1.     Perform a basic replacement test to remove link, interface module, and port problems.

a.     Remove link problems. For more information, see "10-Gigabit SFP+ fiber port fails to come up.

b.     Execute the display transceiver diagnosis interface command multiple times to view the Tx and Rx optical powers of the port. If port flapping is caused by the Tx/Rx power instability, troubleshoot the link.

c.     If port flapping is caused by CRC error packets on the port, remove the problem of CRC error packets. For more information, see "CRC error packets on a port."

2.     See the known problem list in the S6890 switch series usage guidelines to identify whether port flapping is caused by known problems. If port flapping is caused by known problems, upgrade the software or install patches according to the problem description and identify whether the port flapping problem has been resolved.

3.     Identify whether the problem is caused by the MAC-faults of the port.

MAC-faults include the following types:

¡     local faultA fault exists on the local end in the direction of receiving packets from the remote end. In this case, a local fault prompt message appears on the local device, and you must locate the problem. 

¡     remote faultWhen the local fault occurs on a remote port, the remote end sends a message to the local end. A remote fault prompt message appears on the local device, which indicates that no fault exists on the local device in the direction of receiving packets. In this case, assist in troubleshooting the remote end.

MAC faults are not directly related to MAC addresses. If the issue persists after you remove the link and module problems, contact H3C Support.

Troubleshooting IRF

This section provides troubleshooting information for common IRF issues.

IRF fabric setup failure

Symptom

A device cannot be added to an IRF fabric.

Troubleshooting flowchart

Figure 16 Troubleshooting IRF fabric setup failure

 

Solution

To resolve the issue:

1.     Execute the display irf command to verify that the number of member devices in the IRF fabric does not reach the upper limit.

If the upper limit is reached, you cannot add new member devices to the IRF fabric. The upper limit varies by software version. For information about the upper limit, see IRF configuration in the configuration guides for your software version.

2.     Verify that the device is the same model as the member devices in the IRF fabric.

The H3C S6890 switches must be the same model to form an IRF fabric.

3.     Verify that the member ID of the device is unique in the IRF fabric:

a.     Execute the display irf command to view member IDs.

b.     Execute the irf member renumber command to assign a new member ID to the device if necessary.

4.     Verify that the physical IRF links are connected correctly:

 

IMPORTANT

IMPORTANT:

When you connect two neighboring IRF members, you must connect the physical interfaces of IRF-port 1 on one member to the physical interfaces of IRF-port 2 on the other.

 

a.     Execute the display irf configuration command on each member device, and check the IRF-Port1 and IRF-Port2 fields for IRF port bindings.

b.     Verify that the physical IRF connections are consistent with the IRF port bindings.

c.     If there are inconsistencies, reconfigure the IRF port bindings or reconnect the IRF physical interfaces.

5.     Verify that all IRF links are up for the device:

 

IMPORTANT

IMPORTANT:

An IRF port is a logical interface that connects IRF member devices. To use an IRF port, you must bind a minimum of one physical interface to it. The physical interfaces assigned to an IRF port automatically form an aggregate IRF link. An IRF port goes down when all its IRF physical interfaces are down.

 

a.     Execute the display irf topology command, and then check the Link field.

b.     If the Link field for an IRF port displays DOWN, execute the display irf link command.

c.     Check the Status field for each physical interface bound to the IRF port. If the field displays ADM, execute the undo shutdown command to bring up the interface. If the field displays DOWN, check the transceiver modules or cables for connectivity issues. When you select transceiver modules and cables, follow these restrictions and guidelines:

-     Use SFP+ transceiver modules and fibers to connect SFP+ ports for a long-distance connection, or use SFP+ DAC cables to connect SFP+ ports for a short-distance connection.

-     Use QSFP28 or QSFP+ transceiver modules and fibers to connect QSFP28 ports for a long-distance connection, or use QSFP28 or QSFP+ DAC cables to connect QSFP28 ports for a short-distance connection.

-     The transceiver modules at the two ends of an IRF link must be the same type.

 

 

NOTE:

Supported transceiver modules and cables might vary depending on the software version and device model. For more information, see the most recent installation guide.

 

6.     Verify that the device is running the same software version as the IRF fabric:

a.     Execute the display version command to identify the software version.

b.     Upgrade the device to use the same software version as the IRF fabric.

 

 

NOTE:

Typically, the software auto-update feature can automatically synchronize a member device with the software version of the master device. However, the synchronization might fail when the gap between the software versions is large.

 

7.     Verify that the device has a unique bridge MAC address:

a.     Execute the display interface vlan-interface 1 command, and then check the Hardware Address field.

[Sysname] display interface vlan-interface 1

Vlan-interface1 current state: UP

Line protocol current state: UP

Description: Vlan-interface1 Interface

The Maximum Transmit Unit is 1500

Internet protocol processing : disabled

IP Packet Frame Type: PKTFMT_ETHNT_2,  Hardware Address: 0023-8912-3d07

IPv6 Packet Frame Type: PKTFMT_ETHNT_2,  Hardware Address: 0023-8912-3d07

b.     If the device has the same bridge MAC address as the IRF fabric, remove the bridge MAC conflict.

8.     If the issue persists, execute the display diagnostic-information command and collect the device diagnostic information, and then send the information to contact H3C Support.

IRF split

Symptom

An IRF fabric splits.

Troubleshooting flowchart

Figure 17 Troubleshooting IRF split

 

Solution

To resolve the issue:

1.     Verify that the IRF physical interfaces are operating correctly:

a.     Execute the display logbuffer command or view system logs to check for physical IRF link down events that occurred around the split time.

b.     If the split followed an IRF link down event, execute the display interface command to check port statistics for CRC errors.

c.     If transceiver modules and fibers are used, execute the display transceiver diagnosis command. Make sure the transmit and receive power has not exceeded the power specifications of the fiber module.

2.     Remove hardware issues that might cause recurring IRF split events:

a.     Execute the display version command to identify the uptime of IRF member devices.

b.     Compare the uptime of IRF member devices to determine whether a member device had rebooted before the IRF split.

c.     If the IRF split is caused by a device reboot, perform one of the following tasks:

-     If the split is caused by a device reboot, use the methods described in "Switch reboot failure" to resolve the issue.

-     If the reboot is caused by power failures, use the methods described in "Operating power module failure" to resolve the issue.

3.     If the issue persists, execute the display diagnostic-information command and collect the device diagnostic information, and then send the information to H3C Support.

BFD MAD failure

Symptom

BFD MAD fails to detect an IRF split event. Two IRF fabrics are operating with the same Layer 3 configurations, including the same IP address.

Troubleshooting flowchart

Figure 18 Troubleshooting BFD MAD failure

 

 

Solution

To resolve the issue:

1.     Verify that BFD MAD link connections are correct:

¡     If you do not use an intermediate device, verify that each pair of member devices has a dedicated BFD MAD link.

¡     If you use an intermediate device, verify that each member device has a dedicated BFD MAD link with the intermediate device.

As a best practice to conserve management Ethernet port resources, use an intermediate device if you use management Ethernet ports for BFD MAD.

2.     Verify that all physical ports used for BFD MAD are up:

a.     Execute the display interface command.

b.     Check the Current state field in the command output:

-     If the field displays Administratively DOWN for a port, execute the undo shutdown command to bring up the port.

-     If the field displays DOWN for a port, check the physical link for a link failure.

3.     Verify that the Layer 3 interface used for BFD MAD and the BFD MAD VLAN (if any) are configured correctly:

a.     Execute the display mad verbose command.

b.     Check the MAD BFD enabled interface field to identify the Layer 3 interface used for BFD MAD. This interface can be a VLAN interface, Layer 3 aggregate interface, or management Ethernet port.

 

 

NOTE:

The interface used for MAD BFD can be a VLAN interface, Layer 3 aggregate interface, or management Ethernet port, depending on the software version. For more information, see IRF configuration in the configuration guides for the software version of your device.

 

c.     Verify that the Layer 3 interface used for BFD MAD is configured as required depending on the interface type. Table 3, Table 4, and Table 5 list the restrictions and guidelines on configuring a VLAN interface, Layer 3 aggregate interface, and management Ethernet port, respectively.

Table 3 BFD MAD configuration restrictions and guidelines (VLAN interface)

Category

Restrictions and guidelines

BFD MAD VLAN

·     Do not enable BFD MAD on VLAN-interface 1.

·     If you are using an intermediate device, perform the following tasks:

¡     On both the IRF fabric and intermediate device, create a VLAN for BFD MAD.

¡     On both the IRF fabric and intermediate device, assign the ports of BFD MAD links to the BFD MAD VLAN.

¡     On the IRF fabric, create a VLAN interface for the BFD MAD VLAN.

·     Make sure the IRF fabrics on the network use different BFD MAD VLANs.

·     Make sure the BFD MAD VLAN contains only ports on the BFD MAD links. Exclude a port from the BFD MAD VLAN if that port is not on a BFD MAD link. If you have assigned that port to all VLANs by using the port trunk permit vlan all command, use the undo port trunk permit command to exclude that port from the BFD MAD VLAN.

BFD MAD VLAN and feature compatibility

Do not use the BFD MAD VLAN and its member ports for any purpose other than configuring BFD MAD.

·     Use only the mad bfd enable and mad ip address commands on the BFD MAD-enabled VLAN interface. If you configure other features, both BFD MAD and other features on the interface might run incorrectly.

 

·     Disable the spanning tree feature on any Layer 2 Ethernet ports in the BFD MAD VLAN. The MAD feature is mutually exclusive with the spanning tree feature.

Table 4 BFD MAD configuration restrictions and guidelines (Layer 3 aggregate interface)

Category

Restrictions and guidelines

BFD MAD-enabled Layer 3 aggregate interface

·     Make sure the Layer 3 aggregate interface operates in static aggregation mode.

·     Make sure the member ports in the aggregation group do not exceed the maximum number of Selected ports allowed for an aggregation group. If the number of member ports exceeds the maximum number of Selected ports, some member ports cannot become Selected. BFD MAD will be unable to work correctly and its state will change to Faulty.

BFD MAD VLAN

·     On the intermediate device (if any), assign the ports on the BFD MAD links to the same VLAN. Do not assign the ports to an aggregate interface. If the ports are hybrid ports, make sure these ports are untagged members of their PVIDs.

·     If the intermediate device acts as a BFD MAD intermediate device for multiple IRF fabrics, assign different BFD MAD VLANs to the IRF fabrics.

·     Do not use the BFD MAD VLAN on the intermediate device for any purposes other than BFD MAD.

·     Make sure the BFD MAD VLAN on the intermediate device contains only ports on the BFD MAD links. Exclude a port from the BFD MAD VLAN if that port is not on a BFD MAD link. If you have assigned that port to all VLANs by using the port trunk permit vlan all command, use the undo port trunk permit command to exclude that port from the BFD MAD VLAN.

BFD MAD-enabled Layer 3 aggregate interface and feature compatibility

Use only the mad bfd enable and mad ip address commands on the BFD MAD-enabled interface. If you configure other features, both BFD MAD and other features on the interface might run incorrectly.

Table 5 BFD MAD configuration restrictions and guidelines (management Ethernet port)

Category

Restrictions and guidelines

Management Ethernet ports for BFD MAD

Connect a management Ethernet port on each IRF member device to the common Ethernet ports on the intermediate device.

BFD MAD VLAN

·     On the intermediate device, create a VLAN for BFD MAD, and assign the ports used for BFD MAD to the VLAN. On the IRF fabric, you do not need to assign the management Ethernet ports to the VLAN.

·     Make sure the IRF fabrics on the network use different BFD MAD VLANs.

·     Make sure the BFD MAD VLAN on the intermediate device contains only ports on the BFD MAD links.

4.     Verify that MAD IP addresses are configured correctly:

a.     Execute the display mad verbose command.

b.     Check the MAD IP address field to verify that all the MAD IP addresses are on the same subnet. In addition, verify that the MAD IP addresses are unique among all IP addresses on the IRF fabric.

c.     Execute the display interface command to verify that the Layer 3 interface used for BFD MAD has only MAD IP addresses configured by using the mad ip address command. For example, make sure the interface does not have a VRRP virtual address or an IP address configured by using the ip address command.

5.     Verify that the physical ports in the BFD MAD VLAN are always up:

a.     Execute the display logbuffer command or use system logs to check for BFD MAD port-down events that occurred around the split time.

b.     Identify the cause of the events, and remove the issue.

6.     If the issue persists, execute the display diagnostic-information command and collect the device diagnostic information, and then send the information to H3C Support.

LACP MAD failure

Symptom

LACP MAD fails to detect an IRF split event. Two IRF fabrics are operating with the same Layer 3 configurations, including the same IP address.

Troubleshooting flowchart

Figure 19 Troubleshooting LACP MAD failure

 

Solution

To resolve the issue:

1.     Verify that the intermediate device is a device that supports extended LACPDUs for MAD.

If the intermediate device does not support extended LACPDUs for MAD, replace the intermediate device, or use BFD MAD for split detection.

2.     Verify that each member device has a link in the link aggregation with the intermediate device.

3.     Verify that the link aggregation is operating in dynamic mode.

To enable dynamic aggregation mode, use the link-aggregation mode dynamic command.

4.     Verify that the aggregate interface and its member ports are up:

a.     Execute the display interface command.

b.     Check the Current state field of the aggregate interface:

-     If the field displays Administratively DOWN, execute the undo shutdown command to bring up the interface.

-     If the field displays DOWN, check the state of all its physical ports.

An aggregate interface goes down only if all its physical ports are down.

c.     Check the Current state field of each member port:

-     If the field displays Administratively DOWN, execute the undo shutdown command to bring up the port.

-     If the field displays DOWN, check the physical link of the port for a link failure.

5.     If the intermediate device is also an IRF fabric, verify that the IRF domain IDs of the two IRF fabrics are unique:

 

CAUTION

CAUTION:

The IRF member devices send extended LACPDUs with TLVs that convey the domain ID and the active ID (the member ID of the master) of the IRF fabric. To avoid split detection failure, make sure the IRF fabric has a unique domain ID.

 

a.     Execute the display irf command to identify the domain ID of each IRF fabric.

b.     If the IRF fabrics use the same domain ID, execute the irf domain command to change the domain ID on one IRF fabric.

6.     Verify that the physical ports in the link aggregation are always up:

a.     Execute the display logbuffer command or use system logs to check for port-down events around the split time.

b.     Identify the event cause and remove the issue.

7.     If the issue persists, execute the display diagnostic-information command and collect the device diagnostic information, and then send the information to H3C Support.

Troubleshooting QoS and ACL

This section provides troubleshooting information for common QoS and ACL issues.

ACL application failure for unsupported ACL rules or insufficient resources

Symptom

The system fails to apply a packet filter or an ACL-based QoS policy to the hardware. It displays an error message that an unsupported rule exists in the ACL or hardware resources are insufficient. The following are sample error messages:

·     For unsupported rules:

Error: Slot=2 Fail to apply or refresh packet filter policy 3180 rule 5 on interface Vlan-interface20. Not supported.

·     For insufficient hardware resources:

Error: Slot=2 Fail to apply or refresh packet filter policy 3001 rule 25 on interface Vlan-interface6 due to lack of resources.

 

Warning: Classifier-behavior test in policy test applied on vlan 4079 failed in slot 2. Reason: Not enough hardware resource.

Either of the preceding two messages indicates insufficient hardware resources.

Troubleshooting flowchart

Figure 20 Troubleshooting ACL application failure

 

Solution

To resolve the issue in the case of unsupported rules:

1.     Identify the unsupported match criterion in the rule:

a.     Split the rule into multiple rules such that each rule contains one match criterion.

b.     Apply the packet filter or QoS policy again.

c.     Identify the unsupported criterion according to the new error message.

If the rule contains only one criterion, the criterion is not supported.

2.     If the issue persists, contact H3C Support.

To resolve the issue in the case of insufficient hardware resources:

1.     Check the ACL, Counter, and Meter resource usage for insufficiency.

Execute the display qos-acl resource command to display the resource usage. If the number of ACLs to be applied is higher than the value of the Remaining field, resources are insufficient. If the ACLs are to be applied globally, check the resource usage on all cards.

[Sysname] display qos-acl resource

Interfaces: XGE1/0/1 to XGE1/0/24, HGE1/0/25 to HGE1/0/30

              XGE1/0/31 to XGE1/0/54, MGE0/0/0 to MGE0/0/1 (slot 1)

---------------------------------------------------------------------

 Type             Total      Reserved   Configured Remaining  Usage

---------------------------------------------------------------------

 VFP ACL          41984      0          0          41984      0%

 IFP ACL          50176      8192       0          41984      16%

 IFP Meter        30720      129        0          30591      0%

 IFP Counter      8175       140        0          8035       1%

 EFP ACL          20992      0          0          20992      0%

 EFP Counter      4094       0          0          4094       0%

¡     IFP—Resource usage for inbound traffic.

¡     EFP—Resource usage for outbound traffic.

2.     Delete unnecessary ACLs to release resources if the failure is caused by ACL resource insufficiency. Delete unnecessary ACLs that use Meter or Counter resources if the failure is caused by Meter or Counter resource insufficiency. If the ACL resources are sufficient, go to step 4.

3.     Apply the packet filter or QoS policy again.

4.     If the issue persists, collect diagnostic information by using the following command and contact H3C Support.

<Sysname> display diagnostic-information

Save or display diagnostic information (Y=save, N=display)? [Y/N]:Y

ACL application failure without an error message

Symptom

The system applies a packet filter or an ACL-based QoS policy to the hardware. However, the ACL does not take effect.

Troubleshooting flowchart

Figure 21 Troubleshooting ACL application failure

 

Solution

To resolve the issue:

1.     Check the ACLs used by QoS policies and packet filters for overlapping rules:

a.     Use the following commands to display ACLs that are used by QoS policies and packet filters:

-     display packet-filter

-     display qos policy user-defined

-     display traffic classifier user-defined

b.     Execute the display acl command to check for overlapping rules in the ACLs.

For example, the following sample output shows that rule 0 in ACL 3100 and rule 0 in ACL 3009 can both match traffic sourced from 2.2.2.1.

ACL number 3100

rule 0 permit ip source 2.2.2.2 255.255.0.0

ACL number 3009

rule 0 permit ip source 2.2.2.2 255.255.0.0

2.     Check the filters and policies that use overlapping ACLs for a behavior conflict.

If two behaviors conflict, the device performs the behavior that has higher priority, as shown in Table 6.

Table 6 Rules for selecting a higher priority behavior from conflicting behaviors

Conflicting behaviors

Higher priority behavior

·     redirect

·     filter permit

redirect

·     redirect

·     filter deny

filter deny

·     filter permit

·     filter deny

The behavior configured first.

 

3.     Revise ACLs, packet filters, or QoS policies to remove the behavior conflict.

4.     If the issue persists, collect diagnostic information by using the following command and contact H3C Support.

<Sysname> display diagnostic-information

Save or display diagnostic information (Y=save, N=display)? [Y/N]:Y
