R Modules; Rs Modules - Avaya 8800 Troubleshooting Manual

Troubleshooting tool fundamentals

R modules

On R modules, you can create one enabled entry for each lane on a module. Therefore, you
can create up to three entries on a three-lane module, and up to 24 entries on an eight-module
chassis.
If you have an R module installed and set the mirroring mode to rx, you must use an ACL filter
option to mirror the port.
R modules support two-port mirroring modes: rx (ingress, that is, inPort and inVLAN) and tx
(egress, that is, outPort and outVLAN).
In rx modes, when you configure the ACE Debug or ACL Global options to mirror, use the ACE
to configure the mirroring destination port.
In tx modes, when you configure the ACE Debug or ACL Global options to mirror, use the
Diagnostics parameter to configure the mirroring destination. For example, in Enterprise
Device Manager, choose the Edit, Diagnostics, General, Port Mirrors tab to select the
destination ports.
The following table shows the maximum number of entries that you can configure on an R
module.

RS modules

RS modules offer enhanced port mirroring functionality. Using RS modules, you can specify a
destination multi-link trunking (MLT) group, a destination port or set of ports, or a destination
VLAN.
RS modules support both rxFilter and txFilter modes, but operate differently than R modules.
Similar to R modules, you select the mode by configuring the inPort/outPort/inVLAN/outVLAN
ACL parameters. You can configure the mirroring action globally in an ACL, or for a specific
ACE by using the ACE Debug actions. However, regardless of the ingress or egress mode,
you configure the mirroring destination by using an ACE.
32 Troubleshooting
Number of lanes
3 One port from each group of 10 ports: One port
from ports 1–10, one port from ports 11–20 and
one port from ports 21–30
2 One port from each group of 24 ports: One port
from ports 1–24 and one port from ports 25–48
3 Can mirror all 3 ports
