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.
