5.2 TROUBLESHOOTING LAN EMULATION
You have configured an Emulated LAN and your network applications are not working. Use these questions and tests
to help determine the cause of the problem.
1. Check for connectivity. Try pinging between end nodes. Ping from the SmartCell 6A000 (using
) to its end nodes. If you cannot ping, check physical connectivity (disconnected cable
start ping
and so on).
2. Check IP routes and addresses.
•
Use command to check the SmartCell 6A000 route table.
show route
-
Are the destination addresses correct for the specified gateways?
-
Are there any routing loops?
-
Are one or more of the destination addresses mapped to the wrong subnet?
•
Use to check the SmartCell 6A000 local ELAN client.
show client
-
Does the client have the correct IP address?
-
Is the subnet correct?
-
Is the ATM address correct?
-
Is the server type correct?
•
Check end nodes configurations.
-
Are end nodes configured correctly?
If the ELAN spans multiple switches, check the following:
3.
-
Is the LECS address correct on all switches?
-
Can all switches reach the switch providing LECS support?
-
If using the Well Known LECS Address, are all switches correctly mapped?
4. Check the LECS database.
•
Use to check the names and numbers of ELANs.
show lecselan
-
Are ELAN names correct?
-
Is the ATM address of the LES correct?
Check whether BUS is connected.
5.
•
Use to check whether devices are registered with the BUS. If clients are registered,
show busclient
check end node configuration. If not registered, check multi-point signaling.
•
Use to turn off multi-point signaling on a per-ELAN basis.
set leselan
-
Do devices begin to register with the LES and BUS once multi-point signaling is turned off?
•
Check IISP routes to the switch containing the LES and BUS.
-
Are all IISP routes correct?
-
Does a new IISP route need to be added so devices can reach the LES and BUS?
