Troubleshooting a Data Link Connection Problem
5-11
If the Ethernet controller is not a QENET, you can ignore this attribute. If
the Ethernet controller is a QENET, check for underruns or corrupted
frames. (This usually occurs only when you configure three or more ports
on the QENET.) If underflow errors or corrupted frames occur, enable the
attribute wfCSMACDAlignmentMode. This attribute determines whether
the software aligns the frame on a word boundary before giving it to the
QENET.
• wfCSMACDLateCollnRx
This shows the number of late collisions received. A late collision
reception is a collision that takes place after the router receives the first 64
bytes of a frame. The length of the Ethernet cable exceeds the specified
length. Replace it with a compliant cable.
Troubleshooting an FDDI Connection
This section assumes that you have isolated a problem to an FDDI connection. If
not, refer to Chapter 2 to determine whether these instructions apply to your
problem.
Troubleshoot an FDDI connection as follows:
1. Filter the log to display only messages from the FDDI entity running on
the slots experiencing the problem. The Technician Interface command is
log -fftwid -eFDDI -s
<slot_no.>
Example
If you are filtering events from Slots 3 and 4, you enter
log -fftwid -eFDDI -s3 -s4
2.
Use the Technician Interface to look at the values of the following
attributes in the wfFddiEntry object. The
get command is next to the
attribute name. Or, use the wfLine➔wfFddiTable Quick Get path to
access them.
• wfFDDIOverrunRx (
get wfFddiEntry.16.*)
This shows the number of frames received with internal overrun errors.
The FSI (FDDI System Interface) chip set became overloaded and
dropped packets.
