Pcap And R Series Modules; General Diagnostic Tools - Avaya 8800 Troubleshooting Manual

PCAP and R series modules

ACLs with PCAP are supported on R module ports. At the port level, you can enable PCAP in
any one of the following six modes:
• rx (ingress)
• tx (egress)
• both (both ingress and egress)
• rxfilter (filter applied at ingress)
• txfilter (filter applied at egress)
• bothfilter (filter applied at both ingress and egress)
Rx, tx, and both modes do not require hardware filters, and are supported by R series
modules.
RxFilter, txFilter and bothFilter filtermodes allow filters or ACLs to be applied at the port level
to aidcapture.
R series modules support all six modes; R modules support both egress and ingress filtering.
For rxFilter, txFilter, or bothFilter configurations, R module ACLs are available for use.

General diagnostic tools

The Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 8800/8600 has diagnostic features available with
Enterprise Device Manager (EDM), the Command Line Interface (CLI), and the Avaya CLI
(ACLI). Use these diagnostic tools to troubleshoot operational and configuration issues. You
can configure and display log files, view and monitor port statistics, trace a route, run loopback
and ping tests, test the switch fabric, and view the address resolution table.
Note:
EDM does not allow all fields to be configured for PING and Traceroute. This is as
designed.
Traceroute does not allow the following fields: TargetAddressType, DSField,
SourceAddressType, IfIndex, MiscOptions, StorageType, CreateHopsEntries, and Type.
PING does not allow the following fields: TargetAddressType, StorageType, Type,
SourceAddressType, IfIndex, and DSField.
