Alarms and troubleshooting

Branch Gateway provides various features for error detection, alarms, and troubleshooting.
Detailed diagnostic information and troubleshooting are provided by software-based solutions
accessible to laptops in the field or remotely from an administrator's computer. For more
information about configuring and using these solutions, see Administering Avaya G450 Branch
Gateway.

Front panel LEDs

LEDs on the Branch Gateway front panel and their media modules indicate the system and
subsystem state. When an issue occurs, LEDs indicate that a technician's assistance is needed.

Automatic error detection

In normal operation, the Branch Gateway firmware and software automatically detects and
attempts to resolve error conditions. Branch Gateway detects errors in the following ways:
• By a firmware test of system components during ongoing operations.
• By a periodic or scheduled software test.
A technician can run more comprehensive tests on demand.

SNMP

Branch Gateway reports alarms using SNMP traps. Branch Gateway fully supports SNMPv1 and
SNMPv3.
Note:
SNMP is supported only in IPv4.

Packet sniffing

Branch Gateway features packet sniffing in IPv4 and IPv6. All IP and ARP packets that pass
through Branch Gateway are recorded. The recorded packets are stored in a file that you can
upload to an Avaya server or computer. Ethereal or Wireshark analyzes recorded packets for
troubleshooting purposes.
