Troubleshooting Commands

run diagnostics_noslot

run diagnostics_noslot [normal | extended | packet-memory]

Executes diagnostic tests on the switch.

This command is available only on the Alpine and Summit series switches.

Syntax Description

Runs standard diagnostic tests.

Run full set of diagnostic tests, including packet-memory tests.

packet-memory

Runs packet memory diagnostics on an "i" series module or stackable switch.

NOTE: This option is available only on the "i" series switches.

Usage Guidelines

The switch is taken off-line while the diagnostic test is performed.

Run diagnostics when the switch can be brought off-line. The tests conducted are extensive and affect

traffic that must be processed by the system CPU. The diagnostics are processed by the CPU whether

you run them on an I/O or a management module.

Packet memory scanning scans to detect single bit-related memory defects and their associated buffer

locations. If packet memory defects are detected, their locations are recorded in the module EEPROM.

Up to eight occurrences can be recorded. If a defect was found during the scan process, the module is

reset, the defective buffer is mapped out from further use, and the I/O module is returned to the

operational state. If more than eight defects are detected, or if the defects cannot be mapped out, the

module is treated as a failed module and left offline, unless

. The module should then be returned through the RMA process with Extreme Networks

Technical Support.

When you enter the run diagnostic command, you are warned about any potential impacts on your

switch and network (since the module will be taken offline during the diagnostic process) and you will

have an opportunity to confirm or cancel the test.

The following command runs the full diagnostics set on a Summit switch:
