400CHAPTER 25: CONFIGURING DLSW

 

above example, c1 and c2 are the equipment of PU2.0 type, and c3 is the

 

equipment of PU2.1 type.

 

 

Diagnosis and

The normal communication of DLSw requires the sound coordination between the

Troubleshooting of

two SNA equipments and two routers operating DLSw, which participate in the

DLSw Fault

communication. Problem in the co-ordination between any of the two points is

 

likely to result in failure in connection.

 

Fault 1: TCP channel can not be created. The status shown is DISCONNECT

 

when using command display dlsw remote.

 

Creating TCP channel is the first step for the successful connection of DLSw. If TCP

 

connection can't be established, the problem lies between the two routers.

 

Generally, the problem is the configuration of IP address of the router. You can

 

check if the IP address of remote-peer is accessible by the ping command with the

 

source address. Also you can use display ip routing-table command to see if there

 

is any route to the network segment. TCP connection can be created once both

 

parties have established correct routes.

 

Fault 2: circuit can not be created correctly. To display dlsw circuits, the

 

virtual circuit can't attain CONNECTED state.

 

There are many causes that circuit can't be created. First of all, please make sure

 

that TCP connection to the opposite end is successfully established. If TCP

 

connection can be established successfully, while circuit can' t be created, this is

 

generally caused by the problem in the coordination of the router and SNA

 

equipment, mainly the problem of SDLC configuration.

 

Firstly, open the debugging switch of SDLC to observe if the SDLC interface can

 

receive and send messages successfully. You can use display interface command to

 

observe the condition of receiving and sending messages on the interface. If the

 

messages can't be received and sent correctly, it is generally because something is

 

wrong with the encoding mode of the interface, baud rate or clock configuration.

 

Generally, this can be solved by modifying the interface configuration parameter

 

of the router or adjusting the configuration parameter of SDLC equipment.

 

If the messages can be received and sent correctly, please check if the

 

configuration PU type is correct. You can use sdlc xid command to configure XID,

 

changing the setup of PU type.

 

If the messages can be received and sent correctly, you can check with display dlsw

 

circuits verbose command to see if the virtual circuit can enter into CIRCUIT_EST

 

status. If CIRCUIT_EST is not accessible all the time, it suggests that something is

 

wrong with the coordination between the MAC address and the partner

 

configured. Generally, this can be solved by modifying configuration parameters

 

such as sdlc partner.

 

If circuit can attain CIRCUIT_EST state, but can not attain CONNECTED state, it

 

suggests that the SDLC configuration of the router and the configuration of SNA

 

equipment are not matching. Check the configuration of SDLC equipment on

 

both ends and the configuration of the router to see if the configuration of the

 

XID of SNA equipment (PU2.1) and the configuration of XID of the router (PU2.0)

 

are correct. If nothing is wrong with the configuration, check the SDLC line on the
