Troubleshooting

Installation-Related Issues

Ethernet networks tend to be fairly simple, but they can still have problems that take time to resolve. The most common problems are associated with the actual network wiring.

If you have problems with a newly established network (initial setup), the trouble is most likely related to cabling or addressing. If the network has been operational for an extended period and is now beginning to have problems, the trouble is probably related to recent additions or changes.

Addresses

Remember that each Passport 8100 module or Passport 8000 Series switch has a media access control (MAC) station address and an IP address. The MAC station addresses are unique because each address contains the Nortel Networks manufacturer ID and node ID codes.

A valid IP address is not required for normal switching operation or if you are managing the switch from a console. However, for management over the network (SNMP or Telnet session), a valid IP address is required.

You can change the IP address of the unit to match your own network addressing structures. Make sure that the IP address of the Passport 8100 module or Passport 8000 Series switch is unique in your network. You can change the IP address using the config ip address command (refer to “Assigning an IP Address to the Management Port” on page 3-5). You will need to set a valid IP address if you intend to use network management with SNMP or Telnet.
