Cabletron Systems 04-0053-01 manual Troubleshooting Pnni Links, Switches in Same Peer Group

Troubleshooting Troubleshooting PNNI Links

- Do devices begin to register with the LES and BUS once multi-point signaling is turned off?

7.Check whether BUS is connected.

•Use show busclient to check whether devices are registered with the BUS. If clients are registered, check end node configuration. If not registered, check multi-point signaling.

•Use set leselan to turn off multi-point signaling on a per-ELAN basis.

-Do devices begin to register with the LES and BUS once multi-point signaling is turned off?

•Check IISP routes to the switch containing the LES and BUS.

-Are all IISP routes correct?

-Does a new IISP route need to be added so devices can reach the LES and BUS?

8.If working through these questions does not solve the problem, contact Cabletron Systems Customer Service. (see Appendix B, "Technical Support").

9.3TROUBLESHOOTING PNNI LINKS

You have physically connected another company’s ATM switch with your ATM SmartSwitch. Each switch supports PNNI, but there is no connectivity between the two devices. When dealing with PNNI connectivity, two possible configurations must be considered:

•The ATM SmartSwitch and the other switch are in the same peer group

•The ATM SmartSwitch and the other switch are is different peer groups

Use the following procedures to diagnose and resolve PNNI connectivity problems.

9.3.1Switches in Same Peer Group

1.Check the physical connection. Make sure that the switches are connected correctly.

2.Check that both switches are in the same peer group. On the ATM SmartSwitch, enter the show pnninode command to view the peer group ID. If not the same peer group, perform the following:

-Set the peer group ID on either switch to match the other. On the ATM SmartSwitch, use the set pnnipeergroup command to change the peer group ID.

3.Check the signalling type of each switch. If either switch does not show PNNI as the signaling type on the connecting port. Perform the following:

-Turn off ILMI and manually set the signaling type to PNNI. On the ATM SmartSwitch, enter the show portconfig command to view signaling type for all ports. If necessary, use the set portconfig command to turn off ILMI and manually set signaling to pnni10.

4.If none of the above actions have corrected the problem, contact Cabletron Systems Customer Service (see Appendix B, "Technical Support").

9.3.2Switches in Different Peer Groups

1.Check the physical connection between the peer groups. Make sure that the switches are connected correctly.
