Introduction Troubleshooting hardware This section provides troubleshooting information for common hardware problems. NOTE: This section describes how to troubleshoot unexpected switch reboot, power supply failure, and fan tray failure. To troubleshoot 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, reload the system software image. The system software image is automatically set to the current system software image during the Boot ROM image running process. If the problem persists, contact H3C Support.
Normal state in the new slot. If the power supply remains in Fault state, replace the power supply. If the problem persists, contact H3C Support. Newly-installed power supply failure Symptom A trap or log is generated indicating that a newly-installed power supply is faulty.
Normal state in the new slot. If the power supply remains in Fault state, go to step 4. If the problem persists, contact H3C Support. Fan tray failure Symptom A trap or log is generated indicating that an operating fan tray or a newly-installed fan tray is faulty.
If there are cooling measures to maintain the switch operating temperature below 60°C (140°F), the switch can be used temporarily. If the problem persists, contact H3C Support. Related commands This section lists the commands that you might use for troubleshooting the hardware.
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.
Troubleshooting flowchart Figure 3 Troubleshooting IRF fabric establishment failure Solution To resolve the problem: Verify that the number of member devices does not exceed the upper limit. If you are adding a new member device to an existing IRF fabric or merging IRF fabrics, use the display irf command to identify the number of member devices in the IRF fabrics.

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 10-GE SFP+ fiber port or 40-GE QSFP+ fiber port fails to go up Symptom A 10-GE SFP+ fiber port or 40-GE QSFP+ fiber port fails to go up.

If the transceiver module is not operating correctly, replace it with a H3C transceiver module that matches the fiber 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.

If the problem persists, contact H3C Support. When you contact H3C Support, provide the following diagnostic information if packet loss occurs on the chip port with which the interface is associated: # Execute the debug port map 1 command in en_diag view to identify the chip port with which the interface is associated.

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 disabling STP on the port, or configuring the port as an edge port if the port is connected to a terminal device.
Command Description Displays the running configuration in the current display this view. display ip source binding/display ipv6 source Displays source guard binding entries. binding Displays detailed information about display link-aggregation verbose aggregation groups that correspond to the aggregate interfaces. display mac-address blackhole Displays blackhole MAC address entries.
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.

Problem Replace the fan Fans are damaged? resolved? tray Contact H3C Support Solution To resolve the problem: Verify that the preferred airflow direction specified for the fans is the same as the airflow direction of the fans: a. Display fan operating status.
If the fans still cannot operate correctly, check whether the fans are damaged. If the fan status is fault, replace the fan tray. If the problem persists, contact H3C Support. Related commands This section lists the commands that you might use for troubleshooting fans.
