Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

system-view N/A

2.

Isolate the specified
card.

In standalone mode:

board-offline slot slot-number

In IRF mode:

board-offline chassis

chassis-number slot slot-number

No card is isolated by default.

3.

Locate the card

problem on a
specified card.

In standalone mode:

test diag-offline slot slot-number

In IRF mode:

test diag-offline chassis

chassis-number slot slot-number

The fault detection information will be
displayed and saved in logs in the root
directory of the flash. Each log is named

in the format of diag_slot_time, where

slot indicates the location of the card and
time indicates when the fault detection

operation is performed.

Configuring in-service hardware failure diagnosis

and failure protection

A hardware failure may cause traffic forwarding failures and service interruption. To improve the

automatic failure detection and handling capabilities of the switch, you can configure in-service

hardware failure diagnosis and failure protection.
The in-service hardware failure diagnosis and failure protection feature covers:

In-service hardware failure detection for chips, cards, and the forwarding service, and automatic fix
actions taken for the detected failures.

Failure protection for ports. When a hardware failure is detected on a port, the switch automatically
shuts down the port.

Failure protection for aggregation groups.
When a hardware failure is detected on a member port of an aggregation group:

{

If the member port is configured with the hardware-failure-protection auto-down command,
the port is shut down automatically.

{

If the member port is not configured with that command but it is not the last up port in the
aggregation group, the port is also shut down automatically.

{

If the member port is not configured with that command and it is the last UP port in the
aggregation group, the port will not be shut down.

Configuration guidelines

Before configuring the hardware-failure-protection auto-down command on a port, make sure a
backup link exists to avoid service interruption in case the port is shut down.

The hardware-failure-protection aggregation and hardware-failure-protection auto-down
command do not take effect on a port in either of the following cases:

{

The port is configured with the loopback { external | internal } command.

{

The port is configured with the port up-mode command.
