Introduction

This document provides information about troubleshooting common software and hardware issues with the S6860 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 the switch, 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.

·     If hardware replacement is required, use the release notes to verify the hardware and software compatibility.

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 devices 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

logfile.log

Command execution and operational log messages.

Diagnostic log

diagfile.log

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

·     Parameter settings in effect when an error occurs.

·     Information about a card 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

 

524288 KB total (134600 KB free)

# Display the log file on each subordinate device:

<Sysname> dir slot2#flash:/logfile/

Directory of slot2#flash:/logfile

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

 

524288 KB total (134600 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 diagnostic log file on each member device:

# Display the diagnostic 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

 

524288 KB total (134600 KB free))

# Display the diagnostic log file on each subordinate device:

<Sysname> dir slot2#flash:/diagfile/

<Sysname> dir slot2#flash:/diagfile/

Directory of slot2#flash:/diagfile

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

 

524288 KB total (134600 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.

 

 

NOTE:

The amount of time to collect statistics increases along with the number of IRF member devices.

 

To collect operating statistics:

1.     Collect operating statistics for multiple feature modules.

<Sysname> display diagnostic-information

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

2.     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_Sysname_20160101-000704.tar.gz] :

Diagnostic information is outputting to flash:/diag_Sysname_20160101-000704.tar.gz.

Please wait...

Save successfully.

<Sysname> dir flash:/

Directory of flash:

   6 -rw-      898180 Jun 26 2013 09:23:51   diag.tar.gz

 

524288 KB total (134600 KB free)

# To display operating statistics on the monitor terminal, enter n at the prompt. (The output from this command varies by software version.)

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

Unexpected switch reboot

Symptom

The switch reboots unexpectedly when it is operating.

Troubleshooting flowchart

Figure 1 Troubleshooting unexpected switch reboot

 

Solution

To resolve the issue:

1.     Verify that you can access the CLI after the switch reboots.

¡     If you can access the CLI, execute the display diagnostic-information command to collect operating information.

¡     If you cannot access the CLI, go to step 2.

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

Connect to the switch through the console port and restart the switch. If BootWare reports that a CRC error has occurred or that no system software image is available, perform the following steps:

a.     Use the BootWare menu to reload the system software image.

b.     Configure it as the current system software image.

3.     If the issue persists, contact H3C Support.

Operating power module failure

Symptom

A trap or log is generated indicating that an operating power module is faulty.

Troubleshooting flowchart

Solution

To resolve the issue:

1.     Execute the display power command to display power module information.

<Sysname> display power

 Slot 1

 Input Power: 70(W)

 PowerID State         Mode   Current(A)  Voltage(V)  Power(W)  FanDirection

 1       Normal        AC        5.97       11.85        70     PortToPower

 2       Absent        --        --          --          --     --

If the power module is in Absent state, go to step 2. If the power module is in Fault state, go to step 3.a.

2.     Remove and reinstall the power module to make sure the power module is installed securely. Then, execute the display power command to verify that the power module has changed to Normal state. If the power module remains in Absent state, replace the power module.

3.     When the power module is in Fault state, do the following:

a.     Verify that the power module is connected to the power source securely. If it has been disconnected from the power source, connect the power source to it.

b.     Determine whether the power module is in high temperature. If dust accumulation on the power module causes the high temperature, remove the dust. Then remove and reinstall the power module. Execute the display power command to verify that the power module has changed to Normal state. If the power module remains in Fault state, go to step c.

c.     Install the power module into an empty power module slot. Then execute the display power command to verify that the power module has changed to Normal state in the new slot. If the power module remains in Fault state, replace the power module.

4.     If the issue persists, contact H3C Support.

Newly installed power module failure

Symptom

A trap or log is generated indicating that a newly installed power module is faulty.

Troubleshooting flowchart

Solution

To resolve the issue:

1.     Execute the display power command to display power module information.

<Sysname> display power

 Slot 1

 Input Power: 70(W)

 PowerID State         Mode   Current(A)  Voltage(V)  Power(W)  FanDirection

 1       Normal        AC        5.97       11.85        70     PortToPower

 2       Absent        --        --          --          --     --

If the power module is in Absent state, go to step 2.a. If the power module is in Fault state, go to step 3.

2.     When the power module is in Absent state, do the following:

a.     Remove and reinstall the power module to make sure the power module is installed securely. Then execute the display power command to verify that the power module has changed to Normal state. If the power module remains in Absent state, go to step b.

b.     Remove and install the power module into an empty power module slot. Then execute the display power command to verify that the power module has changed to Normal state in the new slot. If the power module remains in Absent state, go to step 4.

3.     Remove and install the power module into an idle power module slot. Then execute the display power command to verify that the power module has changed to Normal state in the new slot. If the power module remains in Fault state, go to step 4.

4.     If the issue persists, contact H3C Support.

Fan tray failure

Symptom

A trap or log indicates that a fan tray is faulty, or the display fan command shows that a fan tray is not in Normal state.

Troubleshooting flowchart

Figure 4 Troubleshooting fan tray failure

 

Solution

To resolve the issue:

1.     Execute the display fan command to display the operating states of the fan tray.

 

 

NOTE:

The S6860-54HT switch has five fan tray slots, and the S6860-30HF and S6860-54HF switches each have four fan tray slots.

 

<Sysname> display fan

Slot 1:

 Fan 1:

 State    : Normal

 Airflow Direction: Power-to-port

 Prefer Airflow Direction: Power-to-port

 Fan 2:

 State    : Normal

 Airflow Direction: Power-to-port

 Prefer Airflow Direction: Power-to-port

 Fan 3:

 State    : Normal

 Airflow Direction: Power-to-port

 Prefer Airflow Direction: Power-to-port

 Fan 4:

 State    : Normal

 Airflow Direction: Power-to-port

 Prefer Airflow Direction: Power-to-port

 Fan 5:

 State    : Normal

 Airflow Direction: Power-to-port

 Prefer Airflow Direction: Power-to-port

¡     If the fan tray is in FanDirectionFault state, the airflow direction of the fan tray is not as configured. Replace the fan tray with a fan tray that has the same airflow direction as the equipment room, or use the fan prefer-direction command to change the preferred airflow direction.

¡     If the fan tray is in Absent state, go to step 2.

¡     If the fan tray is in Fault state, go to step 3.

2.     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. If the fan tray remains in Absent state, replace the fan tray.

3.     Execute the display environment command to display 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, remove and reinstall the fan tray. Then execute the display fan command to verify that the fan tray has changed to Normal state. If the fan tray remains in Fault state, replace the fan tray.

You must make sure the switch 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.

Troubleshooting IRF

This section provides troubleshooting information for common issues with IRF.

IRF fabric setup failure

Symptom

An IRF fabric cannot be set up.

Troubleshooting flowchart

Figure 6 Troubleshooting IRF fabric setup failure

 

Solution

To resolve the issue:

1.     Verify that the number of member devices does not exceed the upper limit.

When you are adding a new member device to an existing IRF fabric or merging IRF fabrics, use the display irf command to identify the number of member devices in the IRF fabrics. If the total number of member devices exceeds the upper limit, the IRF setup will fail.

2.     Verify that the member devices can join the same IRF fabric.

An S6860 switch can form an IRF fabric only with devices in the same series.

3.     Verify that the member ID of each member device is unique:

a.     Execute the display irf command to view the member ID of each member device.

b.     Use the irf member renumber command to assign a unique member ID to each member.

-     If you are adding a new member device to an existing IRF fabric, assign the member device a member ID that is not being used in the IRF fabric.

-     If you are merging IRF fabrics, make sure each member device in these IRF fabrics has a unique member ID.

4.     Verify that the IRF port bindings and physical IRF link connections are correct:

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

b.     Verify that the physical interfaces bound to IRF ports are IRF capable. You can use 10GBase-T Ethernet ports, SFP+, QSFP+, or QSFP28 ports for IRF links. If there are binding errors, reconfigure the IRF port bindings.

c.     Verify that the IRF physical interfaces are correct connected. 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.

5.     Verify that the physical IRF links meet the rate requirements:

a.     Verify that the correct transceiver modules or cables are used:

-     Use Category 6A (or above) twisted-pair cables to connect 10GBase-T Ethernet ports in a short distance.

-     For SFP+ ports, use SFP+ transceiver modules and fibers for a long-distance connection and use SFP+ cables for a short-distance connection.

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

-     For QSFP28 ports, use QSFP28 transceiver modules and fibers, or QSFP+ transceiver modules and fibers for a long-distance connection.

Use QSFP28 or QSFP+ cables for a short-distance connection.

For more information about QSFP28 ports, see H3C S6860 Switch Series Layer 2—LAN Switching Configuration Guide.

b.     Verify that transceiver modules at the two ends of an IRF link are the same type. If the transceiver modules are not the same type, replace them to be the same type. Perform this step if transceiver modules are used for IRF connection. Skip this step if you are using cables to connect IRF member devices.

6.     Verify that all IRF links are up:

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

-     If the Link field for each IRF port does not display DOWN, go to step 7.

-     If the Link field for an IRF port displays DOWN, go to step b.

b.     Execute the display irf link command, and then check the Status field of the physical interfaces bound to the IRF port.

-     If the field displays DOWN or ADM (administratively down) for all the physical interfaces, remove the link failures or use the undo shutdown command to bring up the administratively down physical interfaces.

-     If the field displays UP for at least one of the physical interfaces, go to step c.

c.     Save the configuration, and then execute the irf-port-configuration active command in system view to activate the IRF port configuration.

 

IMPORTANT

IMPORTANT:

Activating IRF port configuration requires a reboot. To prevent configuration loss, you must save the configuration before you execute the irf-port-configuration active command.

 

7.     Verify that all member devices use the same software version:

a.     Execute the display version command to identify the software version of each member device.

b.     Upgrade the software of all member devices to the same version.

 

 

NOTE:

Typically, the irf auto-update enable command 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 too large. For more information, see the release notes.

 

8.     Execute display commands to verify that all member devices use the same settings for the following features:

¡     System operating mode.

The mode is set by using the system-working-mode command.

¡     Table capacity mode.

The mode is set by using the hardware-resource switch-mode command.

¡     Maximum number of ECMP routes.

The number is set by using the max-ecmp-num command.

¡     ECMP mode.

The mode is set by using the ecmp mode command.

¡     Support for IPv6 routes with prefixes longer than 64 bits.

The feature is enabled by using the hardware-resource routing-mode command.

¡     The enabling status of the packet loss prevention feature for OpenFlow forwarding.

This feature is enabled by using the openflow lossless enable command.

¡     VXLAN hardware resource mode.

The mode is set by using the hardware-resource vxlan command.

Troubleshooting Ethernet link aggregation

This section provides troubleshooting information for common issues with Ethernet link aggregation.

Link aggregation failure

Symptom

Some member ports fail to be placed in Selected state, and link aggregation does not operate correctly.

Troubleshooting flowchart

Figure 7 Troubleshooting link aggregation failure

 

Solution

To resolve the issue:

1.     Verify that all physical connections are correct.

You can verify the physical connections against your network plan.

2.     Verify that all member ports are up:

a.     Execute the display interface command to display the status of the member ports.

b.     If the member ports are down, follow the solution in "Troubleshooting ports" to troubleshoot the issue.

3.     Verify that the member ports have the same operational key and attribute configurations as the reference port:

a.     Execute the display link-aggregation verbose command to display the Selected state of the member ports.

b.     Execute the display current-configuration interface command to display the configurations of the aggregate interface and the Unselected ports.

c.     Configure the Unselected ports to make sure they have the same operational key and attribute configurations as the reference port.

4.     Identify the aggregation mode of the aggregation group.

¡     If the aggregation mode is static, proceed to step 6.

¡     If the aggregation mode is dynamic, proceed to step 5.

5.     Verify that the peer member ports have the same operational key and attribute configurations as the peer port of the reference port:

a.     Execute the display current-configuration interface command on the peer device to display the configurations of the peer member ports.

b.     Configure the peer member ports to make sure the peer ports have the same operational key and attribute configurations as the peer port of the reference port.

6.     Verify that the number of member ports in the aggregation group does not exceed the configured maximum number of Selected ports.

a.     Execute the link-aggregation selected-port maximum command to set the maximum number of Selected ports allowed in the aggregation group. The value range is 1 to 16.

b.     Execute the display link-aggregation verbose command to verify that the number of member ports does not exceed the configured maximum number of Selected ports.

If the number of member ports exceeds the maximum number of Selected ports, the ports with higher port numbers are in Unselected state.

c.     Use the undo port link-aggregation group command to remove undesired member ports from the aggregation group.

This makes sure all member ports you assign to the aggregation group can become Selected ports.

7.     If the issue persists, contact H3C Support.

A 10-GE SFP+, 40-GE QSFP+, or 100-GE QSFP28 fiber port fails to come up

Symptom

A 10-GE SFP+, 40-GE QSFP+, or 100-GE QSFP28 fiber port fails to come up.

Troubleshooting flowchart

Figure 8 Troubleshooting link up failure on a copper port

 

Solution

To resolve the issue:

1.     Verify that the speed and duplex mode of the local port match the speed and duplex mode of the peer port:

a.     Execute the display interface brief command to examine whether the speed and duplex mode of the port match the speed and duplex mode of the peer port.

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

2.     Verify that the speed and duplex mode of the local port match the speed and duplex mode of the transceiver module:

a.     Execute the display interface brief command to examine whether the speed and duplex mode of the port match the speed and duplex mode of the transceiver module.

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

3.     Verify that the ports at both ends are operating correctly:

a.     For a 10-GE SFP+ fiber port, use an SFP+ cable (used for short-haul connection) to directly connect it to another 10-GE SFP+ fiber port on the local end. For a 40-GE QSFP+ port, use a QSFP+ cable (used for short-haul connection) to directly connect it to another 40-GE QSFP+ port on the local end. For a 100-GE QSFP28 port, use a QSFP28 cable (used for short-haul connection) to directly connect it to another 100-GE QSFP28 port on the local end.

b.     Identify whether the port can come up:

-     If the port can come up, you can determine that the peer port fails. Replace the peer port with a new port operating correctly.

-     If the port cannot come up, you can determine that the local port fails. Replace the local port with a new port operating correctly.

4.     Verify that the transceiver module and cable are operating correctly:

a.     Use the display transceiver alarm interface command to check for alarms on the transceiver module:

-     The device displays None if no error has occurred.

-     The device displays alarms if the transceiver module has failed or if the type of the transceiver module does not match the port type.

b.     Use an optical power meter to verify that the Tx power and Rx power of the transceiver module are stable and are within the correct range.

c.     Execute the display transceiver interface command to verify that the local transceiver module has the same wavelength and transmission distance as the peer transceiver module.

d.     If the transceiver module is not operating correctly, replace it with a H3C transceiver module that matches the fiber port.

For more information about transceiver modules and cables, see the installation guide for the switch.

 

 

NOTE:

When you use a QSFP+ to SFP+ cable to connect a 40-GE QSFP+ fiber port, you must use an optical attenuator because the Tx optical power of the QSFP+ transceiver module exceeds the upper Rx optical power limit of the SFP+ transceiver module.

 

5.     Verify that the fiber matches the transceiver module. If they do not match, replace the fiber with a new one that matches the transceiver module.

For more information about fibers, see the installation guide for the switch.

6.     If the issue persists, contact H3C Support.

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

Symptom

The output from the display interface command shows that error frames exist (for example, CRC error frames) on a port.

Troubleshooting flowchart

Figure 12 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 fortygige 1/0/1

FortyGigE1/0/1 transceiver diagnostic information:

  Current diagnostic parameters:  

    Temp.(°C) Voltage(V)  Bias(mA)  RX power(dBm)  TX power(dBm)

    43         3.31        6.23      -6.50          -2.15

    High   75         -63        10.50       2.00           1.50

    Low    -5         2.97        2.00      -13.90         -11

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.     Verify that the port is operating correctly:

¡     If the port is a copper port, connect the port directly to a PC.

¡     If the port is a fiber port, replace the transceiver module in the port.

If error frames do not exist, troubleshoot the remaining possible points of failure on the transmission path. The troubleshooting process is beyond the scope of this document.

6.     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.

7.     If the issue persists, contact H3C Support.

Troubleshooting flowchart

Figure 13 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 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.

If the number of error frames is accumulating, remove the errors. For more information, see "Error frames (for example, CRC errors) on a port."

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 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.     Verify that the port is operating correctly:

¡     If the port is a copper port, connect the port directly to a PC.

¡     If the port is a fiber port, replace the transceiver module in the port.

If the port can receive packets, troubleshoot the remaining possible points of failure on the transmission path. The troubleshooting process is beyond the scope of this document.

Troubleshooting other issues

Layer 2 forwarding failure

Symptom

Layer 2 packet loss occurs when the switch forwards packets to a peer on the same network segment and in the same VLAN.

Troubleshooting flowchart

Figure 21 Troubleshooting Layer 2 packet loss failure

 

Solution

To resolve the issue:

1.     Verify that no error packets have been received on the local port:

a.     Execute the display interface command and check for error packets.

<Sysname>display interface fortygige 1/0/32

FortyGigE1/0/32 current state: UP

Line protocol state: UP

IP Packet Frame Type: PKTFMT_ETHNT_2, Hardware Address: 000f-e200-002b

……

Last 300 seconds input:  0 packets/sec 10 bytes/sec 0%

 Last 300 seconds output:  0 packets/sec 10 bytes/sec 0%

 Input (total):  1438 packets, 480292 bytes

          0 unicasts, 0 broadcasts, 1438 multicasts, 0 pauses

 Input (normal):  1438 packets, - bytes

          0 unicasts, 0 broadcasts, 1438 multicasts, 0 pauses

 Input:  0 input errors, 0 runts, 0 giants, 0 throttles

          0 CRC, 0 frame, - overruns, 0 aborts

          - ignored, - parity errors

 Output (total): 1440 packets, 475200 bytes

          0 unicasts, 0 broadcasts, 1440 multicasts, 0 pauses

 Output (normal): 1440 packets, - bytes

          0 unicasts, 0 broadcasts, 1440 multicasts, 0 pauses

 Output: 0 output errors, - underruns, - buffer failures

          0 aborts, 0 deferred, 0 collisions, 0 late collisions

          0 lost carrier, - no carrier

b.     If the statistics are not zero, the following failures might occur:

-     Interface hardware failure—To test such a failure, connect the cable that is connected to the local port to a correctly operating port (for example, Port A) with the same configurations as the local port. If Port A forwards traffic correctly, you can determine that the hardware of the local port fails. In this event, you must replace the local port with a correctly operating port.

-     Transceiver module, fiber, or twisted pair failure—To test and resolve such a failure, replace the transceiver module, fiber, or twisted pair with a good one.

-     Inconsistent configurationsExecute the display interface brief command to verify that the configurations (including speed and duplex mode) of the peer are consistent with the local port. If they are inconsistent, modify the configurations of the local port.

c.     If the issue persists, contact H3C Support.

2.     Verify that packets are not mistakenly filtered out by ACLs:

a.     Examine the ACL and QoS policy configurations for packet filtering on the port, on the VLAN of the port, or globally. If packets are mistakenly filtered out, modify the ACL or QoS policy configuration.

-     To display the ACL configuration on the port for packet filtering, execute the display packet-filter command.

-     To display the QoS policy configuration on the port, execute the display qos policy command.

-     To display the QoS policy configuration on the VLAN of the port, execute the display qos vlan-policy command.

-     To display the global QoS policy configuration, execute the display qos policy global command.

b.     Verify that packets are not filtered out by ACLs automatically created by some features.

-     Execute the display this command in Ethernet interface view to verify that the ip source binding or ip verify source command is configured on the port. To display source guard binding entries, execute the display ip source binding or display ipv6 source binding command. If IP source guard is configured but the packets match no entry, further troubleshoot the issue based on the way the binding entries are created.

-     Determine whether the port is configured with the portal authentication. Packets of users that fail to pass the portal authentication will be dropped by the port. Use the display portal interface command to display the portal configuration information of the specified VLAN interface. Determine whether the portal authentication can be disabled based on the network conditions. To disable the portal authentication at Layer 3, use the undo portal server server-name command in system view.

-     Determine whether MFF is configured on the VLAN to which the port belongs. Use the display mac-forced-forwarding vlan command to display the MFF information of the specified VLAN. If no gateway information is displayed in the output, verify that ARP snooping or DHCP snooping is correctly configured based on the MFF operation mode.

3.     Verify that the port is not blocked:

¡     Execute the display stp brief command to verify that STP does not set the state of the port to discarding. When the port is in discarding state, it cannot forward traffic. As a best practice, disable STP on the port or configure the port as an edge port if the port is connected to a terminal device.

¡     If the port belongs to an aggregation group, execute the display link-aggregation verbose command to identify the port status. When the port is an Unselected port, it cannot forward traffic. Locate the reasons why the port is in Unselected state. For example, the attribute configurations of the port are different from the configurations of the reference port.

¡     Identify whether the port is blocked by smart link. Use the display smart-link group command to view the port status. If the state of the port is STANDBY or DOWN, the port cannot forward traffic.

-     If the state of the port is DOWN, locate the reason for the port to be down. The possible reasons include: its uplink device is configured with monitor link, the link of the port fails, or the port is shut down. Further troubleshoot the issue based on the reason for the port to be down.

-     If the state of the port is STANDBY, perform an active/standby switchover in the smart link group.

4.     Examine the following configurations that might cause packet loss:

¡     VLAN configuration—Execute the display this command in Ethernet interface view to verify that the port is in the VLAN of the packets. If it is not, add the port to the VLAN.

¡     Blackhole MAC address entriesExecute the display mac-address blackhole command to display blackhole MAC address entries. If the packets are discarded because they match a blackhole MAC address entry, delete the entry. To delete the blackhole MAC address entry, execute the undo mac-address blackhole mac-address vlan vlan-id command.

¡     Rate limitExecute the display qos lr interface command to display the rate limit configuration on the port. If rate limit is configured on the port, make sure the committed information rate (CIR) and the committed burst size (CBS) are appropriate. To adjust the CIR and CBS values, execute the qos lr { inbound | outbound } cir committed-information-rate [ cbs committed-burst-size ] command.

¡     Storm suppressionExecute the display this command in Ethernet interface view to display the configuration of storm suppression. Storm suppression includes broadcast suppression, multicast suppression, and unknown unicast suppression. To adjust the suppression thresholds, execute the broadcast-suppression, multicast-suppression, and unicast-suppression commands, respectively.

5.     Verify that no congestion occurs by using the display qos queue-statistics interface command.

If congestion occurs, locate and resolve the issue by referencing related congestion management documents.

6.     If the issue persists, contact H3C Support.

Solution

To resolve the issue:

1.     Verify that the port is not faulty (due to hardware or configuration issues).

If the port is faulty, follow the solution in "Layer 2 forwarding failure" to troubleshoot the issue.

2.     Verify that ARP entries for gateways are correct:

a.     Execute the display arp command to verify that the ARP entries are correct.

-     If incorrect ARP entries exist, execute the debugging arp packet command to locate the issue.

-     If no ARP entries are learned, you can execute the arp static command to configure static ARP entries.

b.     Execute the display mac-address command to verify that the output interfaces in the MAC address entries and ARP entries are the same.

If the output interfaces are different, execute the reset arp command to clear the ARP entries. Then the switch can learn ARP entries again.
