Checking and Troubleshooting

Use the following procedure as a quick checkout of the tag switching configuration and operation with respect to the BPX switch.

Step 1 Wait a while, and check whether the controller sees the interfaces correctly;

on the TSC, enter the following command:

tsc# show controllers VSI descriptor

and the an example output is:

Note Check the TSC on-line documentation for the most current information.

Step 2 If there are no interfaces present, first check that card 4 is up,

with, on the BPX switch:

dspcds

and, if the card is not up:

resetcd 4 h

and/or remove the card to get it to reset if necessary.

Note This example assumes that the controller is connected to card 4 on the switch. Substitute a different card number, as applicable.
