6 TASKS

This chapter describes how to perform the following ATM and VLAN

Management network troubleshooting tasks.

	The following topics are described:
	■ Color Status and Propagation
	■	Device Level Troubleshooting
	■	LANE Level Troubleshooting
	■ ATM Network Level Troubleshooting
	■ Virtual LANs Level Troubleshooting
	■ Path Assistants for Identifying Connectivity and Performance Problems
Color Status and	An extensive context status notification scheme is supported in the ATM
Propagation	and VLAN Management software.

The same network event may cause different status on different logical maps/icons. For example, an LEC that cannot join its LES is considered a critical event in the LAN Emulation Map and not necessarily a fault in the ATM or Device map. The severity depends on the context or the logical domain. Colors propagate upwards to the parent icon, so that the next highest level window’s color is influenced.

There are high-end platform-configured icon status colors defined for Transcend icons. Each status has a default color that can be changed by the user.
