Installation
4. Verify the Network Links.
Examine the Event Log.
Events such as enabling circuits and services, changes in spanning tree states, and the occurrence of error conditions are recorded in an event log. Included in the event log are events that indicate the success or failure of the configuration and initialization procedures. Each event is labeled with the date, time, severity, and a mnemonic indicating the software resource that generated the message. To use the event log:
1.Display the event log by pressing [4] at the Main Menu or by using the NCL Logi command.
Upon entering the event log, you will see the first event for the most recent reboot at the top of the display. To navigate among the events displayed, use the following keys.
[Enter] | Advance display by one page |
[P]Roll back display by one page
[v]Advance display by one event
[^]Roll back display by one event
[>]Display last page (newest events)
[C]Display first page of events for most recent reboot
[H]Display help for event log (including more control keys)
[<]Exit from event log
Refer to the User’s Guide for more key options and other information about display control keys, a full explanation of the parts of an event line, the severity ratings, and the number and range of events kept in the log. For the meaning of individual event messages, refer to the Operator’s Reference.
2.Using the event log, verify that the circuits and services that you configured are being enabled. (The default circuit names for the WAN port and the internal LAN port are “wan1” and “ether1”.) The events being listed in the event log should be consistent with information recorded on the network maps.
3.Verify that no warning, major, or fatal events have occurred. (If any such events have occurred, you will probably want to determine what caused them and take remedial steps before continuing.)
