Port Statistics; Route Tracing - Avaya Virtual Services Platform 7000 Series Troubleshooting Manual

Troubleshooting tools
port Y {(traffic received by port X AND transmitted by port Y) OR (monitoring traffic received by
port Y AND transmitted by port X)}.
• For Adst mode, you can only configure one port as the monitor port and destination MAC
address A. (monitoring traffic with destination MAC address A).
• For Asrc mode, you can only configure one port as the monitor port and source MAC address
A. (monitoring traffic with source MAC address A).
• For AsrcBdst mode, you can only configure one port as the monitor port, source MAC address
A and destination MAC address B. (monitoring traffic with source MAC address A and
destination MAC address B).
• For AsrcBdstOrBsrcAdst mode, you can only configure one port as the monitor port, source
MAC address A and destination MAC address B. {(monitoring traffic with source MAC address
A and destination MAC address B) OR (source MAC address B and destination MAC address
A)}.
• For AsrcOrAdst mode, you can only configure one port as the monitor port, source or
destination MAC address A. (monitoring traffic with source OR destination MAC address A).
You can observe and analyze packet traffic at the mirroring port using the Avaya StackProbe or
equivalent. Unlike other methods that are used to analyze packet traffic, with port mirroring a copy of
the packet can be captured and analyzed, so the packet traffic is uninterrupted, and packets flow
normally through the mirrored port.
For information about configuring port mirroring using ACLI or EDM, see Configuring System
Monitoring on Avaya Virtual Services Platform 7000 Series, NN47202–505.

Port statistics

Display port statistics to view information about packets received and transmitted at switch ports.
The ingress and egress count updates occur once every second at the MAC layer.

Route tracing

Route tracing can display the route taken by IP packets to a specified host. For a stack
configuration, you can preform this procedure only on the base unit.
You can use the traceroute command to send a sequence of User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
probe packets to a specified host. You can adjust the time-to-live (TTL) IP parameter to determine
the intermediate routers traversed. Traceroute displays a list of routers and the packet latency
values during the route.
For more information about route tracing, see Configuring System Monitoring on Avaya Virtual
Services Platform 7000 Series, NN47202–505.
