Examine the Event Log.

Events such as enabling circuits and services, changes in spanning tree
states, and the occurrence of error conditions are recorded in an event
log. Included in the event log are events that indicate the success or
failure of the configuration and initialization procedures. Each event is
labeled with the date, time, severity, and a mnemonic indicating the
software resource that generated the message. To use the event log:
1. Display the event log by pressing [4] at the Main Menu or by using the
NCL Logi command.
Upon entering the event log, you will see the first event for the most
recent reboot at the top of the display. To navigate among the events
displayed, use the following keys.
[Enter]
Advance display by one page
[P] Roll back display by one page
[v]
Advance display by one event
[^]
Roll back display by one event
[>]
Display last page (newest events)
[C] Display first page of events for most recent reboot
[H] Display help for event log (including more control keys)
[<]

Refer to the User's Guide for more key options and other informa-
tion about display control keys, a full explanation of the parts of an
event line, the severity ratings, and the number and range of events
kept in the log. For the meaning of individual event messages, refer
to the Operator's Reference.
2. Using the event log, verify that the circuits and services that you
configured are being enabled. (The default circuit names for the
WAN port and the internal LAN port are "wan1" and "ether1".) The
events being listed in the event log should be consistent with
information recorded on the network maps.
3. Verify that no warning, major, or fatal events have occurred. (If any
such events have occurred, you will probably want to determine
what caused them and take remedial steps before continuing.)
