Troubleshooting commands are described in the following
sections.
Viewing DEBUG messages
The debug command allows you to view certain messages which
would normally be discarded. If you have a strong background
in the protocols you wish to view, these messages should be
useful in determining the following:
•
Why a dial in user is failing to connect.
•
Whether they are negotiating PAP or CHAP.
•
What their final IP address and netmask are.
•
Any negotiation error codes such as duplicate IP address or
IPX network not unique.
To view debug messages:
1. Log into the !root account.
2. Tell the NETServer to direct all debug messages to your
screen by typing the following:
set console
Note: only one connection may be the output console at any
given time. If a second administrator types set console, the
output will be redirected.
3. Tell the NETServer which debug messages to send you. To
view IP and/or IPX connection messages, type
the following:
set debug 0x51
To view PPP negotiation messages, type the following:
set debug 0x71
WARNING! Unless explicitly told to do so by U.S.
Robotics support, never enter any debug codes other than
the three shown in this section.
