Introduction
This document provides information about troubleshooting common software and hardware issues with S5850 Switch Series.
This document is not restricted to specific software or hardware versions.
General guidelines
|
|
IMPORTANT: To prevent a failure 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 an issue, follow these general guidelines:
· To help identify the failure cause, 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 hardware.
- Status of the LEDs.
¡ Measures 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-preventive 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: To facilitate troubleshooting, enable the following features: · Information center—To enable the information center, execute the info-center enable command. · Log file—To enable the log file feature, execute the info-center logfile enable command. · Saving diagnostic log messages to the diagnostic log file—To enable this feature, execute the info-center diagnostic-logfile enable command. By default, these features are enabled. |
Table 1 shows the types of files that the system uses to store operating log and status information. Common log files are stored in the flash:/logfile directory and diagnostic log files are stored in the flash:/diagfile directory. You can export these files by using FTP, TFTP, or USB.
In an IRF system, these files are stored on the master device. If master/subordinate switchovers have occurred, master devices before and after the switchovers have log files. You must collect log files from all these devices. To more easily locate log information, save log files to a separate folder for each member device and include their IRF member IDs in the folder names.

Collecting common log messages
1. Save the 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 (107944 KB free)
# Display the log file on each subordinate device.
This example uses slot 2.
<Sysname> dir slot2#flash:/logfile/
Directory of slot2#flash:/logfile
0 -rw- 21863 Jul 11 2013 16:00:37 logfile.log
524288 KB total (107944 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 the 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

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 port or management port (if any) instead of the console port as long as possible. Network and management ports are faster than the console port.
· Do not execute commands during operating statistics collection.
· To ensure information completeness, save the statistics to a file as a best practice.
|
|
NOTE: The amount of time to collect statistics increases along with the number of IRF member devices. |
To collect operating statistics:
1. Disable pausing between screens of output. Skip this step if you are saving statistics to a file.
<Sysname> screen-length disable
2. Collect operating statistics for multiple feature modules.

To resolve the issue:
1. Display fan tray information.
<Sysname> display fan
Slot 2:
Fan 1:
State : Normal
Airflow Direction: Port-to-power
Prefer Airflow Direction: Port-to-power
Fan 2:
State : Normal
Airflow Direction: Port-to-power
Prefer Airflow Direction: Port-to-power
¡ If the Airflow Direction value is different from the Prefer Airflow Direction value, replace the fan tray with one that has an airflow direction as required, or execute the fan prefer-direction command to configure the preferred airflow direction as required.
¡ 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. If the fan tray is in Fault state, perform the following tasks:
a. Execute the display environment command to display temperature information. If the temperature continues to rise, put your hand at the air outlet vents to feel if air is being expelled out of the air outlet.
b. If no air is being expelled out of the air outlet vents, 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 flowchart
Figure 5 Troubleshooting an ACL application failure
Solution
To resolve the issue:
1. Execute the display qos-acl resource command, and then check the Remaining field for ACL resources insufficiency.
If this field displays 0, the ACL hardware resources are exhausted.
2. To free hardware resources, delete unnecessary ACLs.
3. If the issue persists, contact H3C Support.
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 6 Troubleshooting an ACL application failure
Solution
Choose a solution depending on the module that uses the ACL.
ACL used in a QoS policy
To resolve the issue when the ACL is used in a QoS policy:
1. Verify that the QoS policy is configured correctly:
a. Use one of the following commands to check the QoS policy for configuration errors, depending on the policy application destination:
|
Destination |
Command |
|
Interface |
display qos policy interface |
|
VLAN |
display qos vlan-policy |
|
Global |
display qos policy global |
|
Control plane |
display qos policy control-plane slot slot-number |
b. If the QoS policy does not contain a class-behavior association, associate the traffic behavior with the traffic class.
c. If the QoS policy contains a class-behavior association, execute the display traffic classifier user-defined command and the display traffic behavior user-defined command to check for traffic class and behavior configuration errors, respectively.
- If they are configured incorrectly, reconfigure them.
- If they are configured correctly, go to step 2.
2. Verify that the ACL is configured correctly.
Execute the display acl command to check whether the ACL is configured correctly.
¡ If the ACL is configured incorrectly, reconfigure it.
¡ If the ACL is configured correctly, go to step 3.
3. If the issue persists, contact H3C Support.
ACL used in a packet filter
To resolve the issue when the ACL is used in a packet filter:
1. Verify that the packet filter is configured correctly.
Execute the display packet-filter command to check whether the packet filter is configured correctly.
¡ If there are any configuration errors, reconfigure the packet filter.
¡ If there is no configuration error, go to step 2.
2. Verify that the ACL is configured correctly.
Execute the display acl command to check whether the ACL is configured correctly.
¡ If the ACL is configured incorrectly, reconfigure it.
¡ If the ACL is configured correctly, go to step 3.
3. If the issue persists, contact H3C Support.
Packet loss or forwarding failure
Symptom
The network experiences packet loss or packet forwarding failure. You can use ACLs to count traffic statistics to determine the location of the fault.
Troubleshooting flowchart
Figure 7 Troubleshooting a forwarding failure
Solution
To resolve the issue:
1. Identify the characteristics of the packets that are not forwarded correctly.
Use a packet capture tool to identify the characteristics of the traffic, such as the IP address, MAC address, or VLAN. Make sure the characteristics are unique among traffic to be forwarded.
2. Configure a QoS policy and apply it to interfaces:
Figure 8 Traffic path
a. Configure a QoS policy according to the traffic characteristics. This example uses destination IP address 2.2.2.2.
<Sysname> system-view
System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.
[Sysname] time-range t1 from 12:00 11/11/2013 to 12:01 11/11/2013
[Sysname] acl number 3000 name geliACL
[Sysname-acl-adv-3000-geliACL] rule 0 permit ip destination 2.2.2.2 0 time-range t1
[Sysname-acl-adv-3000-geliACL] quit
[Sysname] traffic classifier count
[Sysname-classifier-count] if-match acl 3000
[Sysname-classifier-count] quit
[Sysname] traffic behavior count
[Sysname-behavior-count] accounting packet
[Sysname-behavior-count] quit
[Sysname] qos policy count
[Sysname-qospolicy-count] classifier count behavior count
b. Apply the QoS policy to interfaces on devices along the forwarding path. In this example, apply the QoS policy to the incoming traffic on GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 on Device B and GigabitEthernet 2/0/1 on Device C.
The following shows the application on Device B:
[Sysname-qospolicy-count] quit
[Sysname] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1
[Sysname-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] qos apply policy count inbound
3. After the time range, execute the display qos policy interface command to display traffic statistics on the interfaces:
¡ On GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 of Device B:
[Sysname-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] display qos policy interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1
Interface: GigabitEthernet1/0/1
Direction: Inbound
Direction: Inbound
Policy: count
Classifier: count
Operator: AND
Rule(s) : If-match ACL 3000
Behavior: count
Accounting Enable:
251 (Packets)
The output shows that a total of 251 packets match ACL 3000.
¡ On GigabitEthernet 2/0/1 of Device C:
[Sysname-GigabitEthernet2/0/1] display qos policy interface gigabitethernet 2/0/1
Interface:GigabitEthernet2/0/1
Direction: Inbound
Direction: Inbound
Policy: count
Classifier: count
Operator: AND
Rule(s) : If-match ACL 3000
Behavior: count
Accounting Enable:
50 (Packets)
The output shows that a total of 50 packets match ACL 3000.
4. Compare the traffic statistics on the two interfaces. Packet loss or forwarding fault exists between Device B and Device C.

Troubleshooting IRF
This section provides troubleshooting information for common issues with IRF.
IRF fabric establishment failure
Symptom
An IRF fabric cannot be established.
Troubleshooting flowchart
Figure 9 Troubleshooting IRF fabric establishment failure
Solution
To resolve the issue:
1. Verify that the number of member devices does not exceed 9.
If 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 ID of each member device is unique:
a. Execute the display irf command to view the member ID of each member device.
b. 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.
3. Verify that the IRF port bindings and physical IRF link connections are correct:
|
|
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 binding errors or connection inconsistencies, reconfigure the IRF port bindings or reconnect the IRF physical interfaces.
4. Verify that the IRF links are 10 Gbps or 40 Gbps:
a. Verify that the transceiver modules and fibers or DAC cables for IRF connection are labeled with 10Gbps, SFP+, 40Gbps, or QSFP+.
b. Replace a transceiver module, fiber, or DAC cable if it is not for 10-Gbps or 40-Gbps connection.
5. (Optional.) Verify that transceiver modules at the two ends of an IRF link are the same type if you are using SFP+ or QSFP+ transceiver modules and fibers.
If the transceiver modules are not the same type, replace them to be the same type.
Skip this step if you are using SFP+ or QSFP+ DAC 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 interfaces.
- If the field displays UP for a minimum of 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: 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. As a best practice, upgrade a lower version to a higher 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. If the issue persists, contact H3C Support.

Troubleshooting flowchart
Figure 10 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.

Troubleshooting flowchart
Figure 11 Troubleshooting fiber port's failure to come up
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.
b. Identify whether the port comes up:
- If the port comes up, the peer port fails. Replace the peer port with a new port operating correctly.
- If the port remains in down state, 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 display the alarms present on the transceiver module:
- The device displays None if no error occurs.
- The device displays alarms if the transceiver module fails or 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 wavelength and transmission distance of the local transceiver module are consistent with the wavelength and transmission distance of 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.
|
|
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.

Copper port remains in down state
Symptom
A 10/100/1000Base-T GE copper port remains in down state.
Troubleshooting flowchart
Figure 12 Troubleshooting copper port's failure to come up
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.
The S5850-54QS switch does not support the half-duplex mode. If the S5850-54QS switch and its peer operate in half-duplex mode after negotiation, the ports on the S5850-54QS switch will not come up.
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. Replace the network cable with a new one to verify that the network cable is in good condition.
3. Replace the local port with a new one to verify that the local port is operating correctly.
4. Replace the peer port with a new one to verify that the peer port is operating correctly.
5. If the issue persists, contact H3C Support.

a. If the statistics are not zero, the following issues might have occurred:
- Inconsistent configuration—Verify that the local and peer ports have the same configuration (including speed and duplex mode). If they are not the same, modify the configuration of the local port.
- 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.
b. If the issue persists, contact H3C Support.
When you contact H3C Support, provide the following diagnostic information if packet loss occurs on the chip port with which the interface is associated:

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. If portal authentication is configured, 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 VLAN interface view of the VLAN to which the port belongs.
- Use the display dot1x command to check whether 802.1X EAD assistant is enabled on the interface.
If 802.1X EAD assistant is enabled on the interface, packets will be discarded for unauthenticated users who access the network segments other than the Free IP.
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, disabling STP on the port or configuring 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 VLAN of the packets is permitted by the port. If the VLAN is not permitted by the port, modify the VLAN settings to enable the port to permit the VLAN.
¡ Blackhole MAC address entries—Execute 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 limit—Execute 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 suppression—Execute 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.

Layer 3 forwarding failure
Symptom
Packet loss occurs when the switch forwards packets to a different network.
Troubleshooting flowchart
Figure 21 Troubleshooting Layer 3 forwarding failure
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 the ARP entries 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. For the APR entries that are still not learned, execute the arp static command to configure static ARP entries.
b. Execute the display mac-address command to verify that the output interface of the gateway in the MAC address entries and ARP entries are the same.
If the output interfaces are not the same, execute the reset arp command to clear the ARP entries. Then the switch can learn ARP entries again.
3. Verify that route entries are correct:
a. Execute the display ip routing-table command to verify that route entries are correct.
If incorrect route entries exist, troubleshoot the protocol that learns the route entries.
b. Execute the display fib command to verify that the output interfaces in the FIB entries and route entries are the same.
If the output interfaces are not the same, execute the reset command to clear the route entries. Then the switch can learn route entries again.
4. If the issue persists, contact H3C Support.
