Cabletron Systems CSX1200 Bridge Initialization, IP Routing Initialization, WAN Line Availability

PROBLEM DIAGNOSIS

Bridge Initialization

BRIDGE INITIALIZATION

Problem:

The system does not display the following bridge initialization messages:

LAN Port <port #> is now in the LISTENING state

LAN Port <port #> is now in the LEARNING state

LAN Port <port #> is now in the FORWARDING state

Action:

1.Make sure the LAN Adapter has initialized correctly.

2.Check the configuration to verify the bridge is enabled.

IP ROUTING INITIALIZATION

Problem:

The system does not display the expected IP routing initialization messages.

Action:

1.If you did not see the following IP message:

[IP] IP router is initialized successfully

Check the configuration to verify that IP routing is enabled.

2.The failure to see the following IP message for each IP interface:

[IP] Network initialized successfully on ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd

indicates that you may have either not configured a needed interface or have incorrectly configured an interface. Check the system’s IP network interface configuration using the ipnetif command (a Manage Mode command). If there is a problem with the configuration, use the CFGEDIT to make corrections.

WAN LINE AVAILABILITY

Problem:

The system does not display the WAN line availability messages. Instead, the system displays the following message after the status console command is issued:

Line (slot #, port #) down

Action:

1.Verify that the line is correctly attached to the proper system resource and port.

2.If the line was correctly attached in action 1, try restarting the system.

3.If actions 1 and 2 fail to correct the problem, call your phone company (carrier) to check the status of the line.
