Running Diagnostics

You must log in to the diag account to access the hardware diagnostics functionality or use
the framefab and command.
There are several image files used for hardware diagnostics. These files have the following
uses:
•diagx.img Omni Switch/Router diagnostics image file
•desx.img Omni Switch/Router stress test image file
♦ Note ♦
To function properly, hardware diagnostics must be run
offline (i.e., the switch should not be connected to a
network) or during network downtimes. In addition,
spanning tree must be set to OFF via the stc command.
For details on using the stc command, see Chapter 17,
“Configuring Bridging Parameters.”
The OK2 LED of the module under test will be set to red if a failure is detected by diagnostic
testing. The OK2 LED can be restored by resetting the module or by rebooting the chassis.
Diagnostics may not run if the mpm.cfg and mpm.cnf files are not in their default configura-
tions. In addition, some diagnostics may affect the settings in configuration files. Therefore,
any customized mpm.cfg and mpm.cnf files should be saved prior to testing. Once testing is
completed, these files should be restored and the chassis rebooted prior to normal operation.
The default mpm.cfg and mpm.cnf files are obtained by performing the following steps:
1. Remove these files from flash memory by renaming the files to names besides mpm.cfg
and mpm.cnf. For example, you can rename mpm.cfg to mpm_cfg.old to highlight the fact
that it is the original version of the file.
2. Delete the mpm.cfg and mpm.cnf files from flash memory.
3. Reboot the system. The MPX will create default mpm.cfg and mpm.cnf files when these
files are missing from flash memory. These default files are the ones to be used with diag-
nostic software.
