Error Messages

Gigabit Ethernet comes with an online message catalog that is used to report networking problems. You must use the nettl logging and tracing utility to display the probable cause and action for a message.

Logging Messages

Gigabit Ethernet uses the nettl(1M) logging and tracing facility supplied with HP-UX. You may access the logging and tracing utility using either the graphical user interface (GUI) version or the command line interface.

Features of the GUI version, which are now a part of your HP 9000 system, include:

•An interface which guides you through logging and tracing tasks.

•An interface which allows you to create and format reports.

•The capability to collect logging and tracing subsystem-specific information.

•Report screens which are updated instantaneously with current logging and tracing information by the subsystem.

•Context-sensitive on-line help.

To access the GUI version of the logging and tracing utility, execute:

nettladm

See the nettladm(1M) man page for information on using the GUI version, or the nettl(1M) man page for information on using the command line interface.

Listed below are some example commands using the command line interface.

•To examine the log file with cause and action descriptions, execute: netfmt -v-f /var/adm/nettl.LOG00 more

netfmt -v -f /var/adm/nettl.LOG000 more (for HP-UX 11i and later)

The -voption enables the reporting of available cause and action descriptions for each log message. A sample log message using the -voption is shown below.
