Chapter 40 Configuring Online Diagnostics
This example shows how to configure the specified test to run every 2 minutes:
Switch(config)# diagnostic monitor interval switch 1 test 1 00:02:00 0 1
This example shows how to set the failure threshold for test monitoring on a switch:
Switch(config)# diagnostic monitor threshold switch 1 test 1 failure count 50
This example shows how to enable the generation of a syslog message when any health monitoring test
fails:
Switch(config)# diagnostic monitor syslog

Running Online Diagnostic Tests

After you configure online diagnostics, you can start diagnostic tests or display the test results. You can
also see which tests are configured for each switch and what diagnostic tests have already run.
These sections describe how to run online diagnostic tests after they have been configured:

Starting Online Diagnostic Tests

After you configure diagnostic tests to run on the switch or on individual switches, you can use start to
begin a diagnostic test.
Beginning in global configuration mode, use this command to start an online diagnostic test:
Command
diagnostic start switch num test {test-id | test-id-range | all
| basic | non-disruptive}
This example shows how to start a diagnostic test on a specific switch:
Switch# diagnostic start switch 1 test 1
Switch#
06:27:50: %DIAG-6-TEST_RUNNING: Switch 1: Running TestPortAsicStackPortLoopback{ID=1} ...
(switch-1)
06:27:51: %DIAG-6-TEST_OK: Switch 1: TestPortAsicStackPortLoopback{ID=1} has completed
successfully (switch-1)
Switch#
This example shows how to start diagnostics test 2 on a switch disrupting normal system operations,
causing the switch to lose stack connectivity, and then to reload:
Switch# diagnostic start switch 1 test 2
Switch 1: Running test(s) 2 will cause the switch under test to reload after completion of
the test list.
Switch 1: Running test(s) 2 may disrupt normal system operation
Do you want to continue? [no]: y
Switch#
16:43:29: %STACKMGR-4-STACK_LINK_CHANGE: Stack Port 2 Switch 2 has changed to state DOWN
16:43:30: %STACKMGR-4-STACK_LINK_CHANGE: Stack Port 1 Switch 9 has changed to state DOWN
16:43:30: %STACKMGR-4-SWITCH_REMOVED: Switch 1 has been REMOVED from the stack
