Introduction This document provides information about troubleshooting common software and hardware problems with H3C S5150-EI Switch Series. This document is not restricted to specific software or hardware versions. General guidelines IMPORTANT: To prevent a failure from causing loss of configuration, save the configuration each time you finish configuring a feature.
Table 1 Log and operating information Category File name format Content Log messages about command executions, event occurrences, Common log logfile.log state changes, and so on. Diagnostic log messages about device operation, including the following items: • Parameter settings used when an error occurs. Diagnostic log diagfile.log •...
Do not execute commands during operating statistics collection. • To ensure information completeness, H3C recommends that you save the statistics to a file. NOTE: The amount of time to collect statistics increases along with the number of IRF member devices.

Troubleshooting hardware This section provides troubleshooting information for common hardware problems. NOTE: This section describes how to troubleshoot unexpected switch reboot, removable power modules, and fixed fan trays. To troubleshoot transceiver modules and ports, see "Troubleshooting ports." Unexpected switch reboot Symptom The switch reboots unexpectedly when it is operating.
CRC error has occurred or that no system software image is available during the BootWare loading process, reload the system software image on the BootWare menu and configure it as the current system software image. If the problem persists, contact H3C Support. Operating power module failure (for switch models that support removable power modules) Symptom A trap or log is generated indicating that an operating power module is faulty.
Normal state in the new slot. If the power module remains in Fault state, go to step 4. If the problem persists, contact H3C Support. Fan tray failure Symptom A fan tray is not operating correctly.
Related commands This section lists the commands that you might use for troubleshooting fan trays. Command Description display fan Displays fan tray operating status information.
If this field displays 0, the ACL hardware resources are exhausted. To free hardware resources for packet filtering or QoS classification, remove unused ACLs. If the problem persists, contact H3C Support. ACL application failure without an error message Symptom The system applies a packet filter or an ACL-based QoS policy to the hardware.
Troubleshooting flowchart Figure 2 Troubleshooting an ACL application failure Solution Choose a solution depending on the module that uses the ACL. ACL used in a QoS policy To resolve the problem when the ACL is used in a QoS policy: Verify that the QoS policy is configured correctly: a.
If the ACL is configured incorrectly, reconfigure it. If the ACL is configured correctly, go to step 3. If the problem persists, contact H3C Support. ACL used in a packet filter To resolve the problem when the ACL is used in a packet filter: Verify that the packet filter is configured correctly.
Troubleshooting IRF This section provides troubleshooting information for common problems with IRF. IRF fabric establishment failure Symptom An IRF fabric cannot be established.
IRF port configuration Upgrade software to the same Same software version? Resolved? version in the fabric Contact H3C Support Solution To resolve the problem: Verify that the number of member devices does not exceed the upper limit (varies by software version).

Verify that the member ID of each member device is unique: a. Execute the display irf command to view the member ID of each member device. b. Assign a unique member ID to each member. − If you are adding a new member device to an existing IRF fabric, assign the member device a member ID that is not being used in the IRF fabric.
However, the synchronization might fail when the gap between the software versions is too large. For more information, see the release notes. If the problem persists, contact H3C Support. Related commands This section lists the commands that you might use for troubleshooting IRF.
Troubleshooting Ethernet link aggregation This section provides troubleshooting information for common problems with Ethernet link aggregation. Link aggregation failure Symptom Some member ports fail to be placed in Selected state, and link aggregation does not operate correctly.
Troubleshooting flowchart Figure 4 Troubleshooting link aggregation failure Solution To resolve the problem: Verify that all physical connections are correct. You can verify the physical connections against your network plan. Verify that all member ports are up: a. Execute the display interface command to display the status of the member ports.
This makes sure all member ports you assign to the aggregation group can become Selected ports. If the problem persists, contact H3C Support. Related commands This section lists the commands that you might use for troubleshooting Ethernet link aggregation.
Troubleshooting ports This section provides troubleshooting information for common port problems. A fiber port fails to come up Symptom A fiber port fails to come up. Troubleshooting flowchart Figure 5 Troubleshooting link up failure on a fiber port Solution To resolve the problem: Verify that the speed and duplex mode of the local port match the speed and duplex mode of the peer port:...
Replace the local port with a new one to verify that the local port is operating correctly. Replace the peer port with a new one to verify that the peer port is operating correctly. If the problem persists, contact H3C Support.
Related commands This section lists the commands that you might use for troubleshooting ports.

Examine the ACL and QoS policy configurations for packet filtering on the port, on the VLAN of the port, or globally.
Execute the display stp brief command to verify that STP does not set the state of the port to discarding. When the port is in discarding state, it cannot forward traffic. H3C recommends that you disable STP on the port, or configure the port as an edge port if the port is connected to a terminal device.
Command Description Displays whether an ACL has been successfully applied to display packet-filter an interface for packet filtering. display portal interface Displays the portal configuration information. Displays the rate limit configuration and statistics on a display qos lr interface specified interface or all the interfaces. display qos policy Displays user-defined QoS policy configuration information.
If the output interfaces are not the same, execute the reset command to clear the route entries. Then the switch can learn route entries again. If the problem persists, contact H3C Support. Related commands This section lists the commands that you might use for troubleshooting Layer 3 forwarding failure.
