Troubleshooting Commands

Troubleshooting Commands

This chapter describes the commands used to troubleshoot your router. To troubleshoot, you need to discover, isolate, and resolve the problems. You can discover problems with the system's monitoring commands, isolate problems with the system's test commands, and resolve problems with other commands, including debug.

This chapter describes general fault management commands. For detailed troubleshooting procedures and a variety of scenarios, see the Cisco IOS Internetwork Troubleshooting Guide publication. For complete details on all debug commands, see the Cisco IOS Debug Command Reference.

For troubleshooting tasks and examples, refer to the "Troubleshooting the Router"chapter in the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide.

attach

To connect to a specific line card for the purpose of executing monitoring and maintenance commands on that line card only, use the attach privileged EXEC command. To exit from the Cisco IOS software image on the line card and return to the Cisco IOS image on the GRP card, use the exit command.

attach slot-number

Syntax Description

slot-number

Slot number of the line card you want to connect to. Slot numbers range from 0 to 11 for the Cisco 12012 and 0 to 7 for the Cisco 12008. If the slot number is omitted, you are prompted for the slot number.

Defaults

None

Command Modes

Privileged EXEC

Command History
Release Modification

11.2 GS

This command was added to support the Cisco 12000 series Gigabit Switch Routers.

Usage Guidelines

Use the attach EXEC command to get specific information about a line card. using the Cisco IOS software image

After you connect to the Cisco IOS image on the line card using the attach command, the prompt changes to "LC-Slotx#," where x is the slot number of the line card.

The commands executed on the line card use the Cisco IOS image on that line card.

You can also use the execute-on slot privileged EXEC command to execute commands on one or all line cards.


Note Do not execute the config command from the Cisco IOS software image on the line card.


Note Because not all statistics are maintained on the line cards, the output from some of the show commands might not be consistent.

Examples

The following example connects to the Cisco IOS image running on the line card in slot 9, gets a list of valid show commands, and returns the Cisco IOS image running on the GRP:

Router# attach 9
Entering Console for 4 Port Packet Over SONET OC-3c/STM-1 in Slot: 9

Related Commands
Command Description

logging buffered

Logs messages to an internal buffer.

show logging

Displays the state of logging (syslog).

diag

To perform field diagnostics on a line card, on the Gigabit Route Processor (GRP), on the Switch Fabric Cards (SFC), and on the Clock Scheduler Card (CSC) in Cisco 12000 series Gigabit Switch Routers, use the diag privileged EXEC command. To disable field diagnostics on a line card, use the no form of this command.

diag slot-number [halt | previous | post | verbose [wait] | wait]

no diag slot-number

Syntax Description

slot-number

Slot number of the line card you want to test. Slot numbers range from 0 to 11 for the Cisco 12012 and 0 to 7 for the Cisco 12008. Slot numbers for the CSC are 16 and 17 and for the FSC are18, 19, and 20.

halt

(Optional) Stops the field diagnostic testing on the line card.

previous

(Optional) Displays previous test results (if any) for the line card.

post

(Optional) Initiates a EPROM-based extended power-on self-test (EPOST) only. The EPOST test suite is not as comprehensive as the field diagnostics, and a pass/fail message is the only message displayed on the console.

verbose [wait]

(Optional) Enables the maximum status messages to be displayed on the console. By default, only the minimum status messages are displayed on the console. If you specify the optional wait keyword, the Cisco IOS software is not be automatically reloaded on the line card after the test completes successfully.

wait

(Optional) Stops the automatic reloading of the Cisco IOS software on the line card after the successful completion of the field diagnostic testing. If you use this keyword, you must use the microcode reload slot global configuration command, or manually remove and insert the line card (to power it up) in the slot so that the GRP will recognize the line card and download the Cisco IOS software image to the line card.

Defaults

No field diagnostics tests are performed on the line card.

Command Modes

Privileged EXEC

Command History
Release Modification

11.2 GS

This command was added to support the Cisco 12000 series Gigabit Switch Routers.

Usage Guidelines

The diag command must be executed from the GRP main console port.

Perform diagnostics on the CSC only if a redundant CSC is in the router.

Diagnostics will stop and ask you for confirmation before altering the router's configuration. For example, running diagnostics on a SFC or CSC will cause the fabric to go from full bandwidth to one quarter bandwidth. Bandwidth is not affected by GRP or line card diagnostics.

The field diagnostic software image is bundled with the Cisco IOS software and is downloaded automatically from the GRP to the target line card prior to testing.


Caution Performing field diagnostics on a line card stops all activity on the line card. Before the diag EXEC command begins running diagnostics, you are prompted to confirm the request to perform field diagnostics on the line card.

In normal mode, if a test fails, the title of the failed test is displayed on the console. However, not all tests that are performed are displayed. To view all the tests that are performed, use the verbose keyword.

After all diagnostic tests are completed on the line card, a PASSED or TEST FAILURE message is displayed. If the line card sends a PASSED message, the Cisco IOS software image on the line card is automatically reloaded unless the wait keyword is specified. If the line card sends a TEST FAILURE message, the Cisco IOS software image on the line card is not automatically reloaded.

If you want to reload the line card after it fails diagnostic testing, use the microcode reload slot global configuration command.


Note When you stop the field diagnostic test, the line card remains down (that is, in an unbooted state). In most cases, you stopped the testing because you need to remove the line card or replace the line card. If that is not the case, and you want to bring the line card back up (that is, online), you must use the microcode reload global configuration command or power cycle the line card.

If the line card fails the test, the line card is defective and should be replaced. In future releases this might not be the case because DRAM and SDRAM SIMM modules might be field replaceable units. For example, if the DRAM test failed you might only need to replace the DRAM on the line card.

For more information, refer to the Cisco 12000 series installation and configuration guides.

Examples

The following example shows the output when field diagnostics are performed on the line card in slot 3. After the line card passes all field diagnostic tests, the Cisco IOS software is automatically reloaded on the card. Before starting the diagnostic tests, you must confirm the request to perform these tests on the line card because all activity on the line card is halted. The total/indiv. timeout set to 600/220 sec. message indicates that 600 seconds are allowed to perform all field diagnostics tests, and that no single test should exceed 220 seconds to complete.

Command Description

microcode reload

Reloads the Cisco IOS image on a line card on the Cisco 7000 series with RSP7000, Cisco 7500 series, or Cisco 12000 series routers after all microcode configuration commands have been entered.

exception core-file

To specify the name of the core dump file, use the exception core-file global configuration command. To return to the default core filename, use the no form of this command.

exception core-file name

no exception core-file

Syntax Description

name

Name of the core dump file saved on the server.

Defaults

The core file is named hostname-core, where hostname is the name of the router.

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History
Release Modification

10.2

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines


Caution Use the exception commands only under the direction of a technical support representative. Creating a core dump while the router is functioning in a network can disrupt network operation. The resulting binary file, which is very large, must be transferred to a TFTP, FTP, or rcp server and subsequently interpreted by technical personnel who have access to source code and detailed memory maps.

If you use TFTP to dump the core file to a server, the router will only dump the first 16 MB of the core file. If the router's memory is larger than 16 MB, the whole core file will not be copied to the server. Therefore, use rcp or FTP to dump the core file.

Examples

The following example configures a router to use FTP to dump a core file named dumpfile to the FTP server at 172.17.92.2 when it crashes:

ip ftp username red
ip ftp password blue
exception protocol ftp
exception dump 172.17.92.2
exception core-file dumpfile

Related Commands
Command Description

exception dump

Enables storing of crash information for a line card and optionally specify the type and amount of information stored.

exception memory

Causes the router to create a core dump and reboot when certain memory size parameters are violated.

exception protocol

Configures the protocol used for core dumps.

ip ftp password

Specifies the password to be used for FTP connections.

ip ftp username

Configures the username for FTP connections.

exception dump

To configure the router to dump a core file to a particular server when the router crashes, use the exception dump global configuration command. To disable core dumps, use the no form of this command.

exception dump ip-address

no exception dump

Syntax Description

ip-address

IP address of the server that stores the core dump file.

Defaults

Disabled

10.3

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines


Caution Use the exception commands only under the direction of a technical support representative. Creating a core dump while the router is functioning in a network can disrupt network operation. The resulting binary file, which is very large, must be transferred to a TFTP, FTP, or rcp server and subsequently interpreted by technical personnel who have access to source code and detailed memory maps.

If you use TFTP to dump the core file to a server, the router will only dump the first 16 MB of the core file. If the router's memory is larger than 16 MB, the whole core file will not be copied to the server. Therefore, use rcp or FTP to dump the core file.

The core dump is written to a file named hostname-core on your server, where hostname is the name of the router. You can change the name of the core file by configuring the exception core-file command.

This procedure can fail for certain types of system crashes. However, if successful, the core dump file will be the size of the memory available on the processor (for example, 16 MB for a CSC/4).

Examples

The following example configures a router to use FTP to dump a core file to the FTP server at 172.17.92.2 when it crashes:

ip ftp username red
ip ftp password blue
exception protocol ftp
exception dump 172.17.92.2

Related Commands
Command Description

exception core-file

ip rcmd remote-username

Configures the remote username to be used when requesting a remote copy using rcp.

exception linecard

To enable storing of crash information for a line card and optionally specify the type and amount of information stored, use the exception linecard global configuration command. To disable the storing of crash information for the line card, use the no form of this command.

exception linecard {all | slot slot-number} [corefile filename | main-memory size [k | m] | queue-ram size [k | m] | rx-buffer size [k | m] | sqe-register-rx | sqe-register-tx | tx-buffer size [k | m]]

no exception linecard

Syntax Description

all

11.2 GS

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

This command is currently supported only on Cisco 12000 series Gigabit Switch Routers.

Use the exception linecard global configuration command only when directed by a technical support representative and only enable options that the technical support representative requests you to enable. Technical support representatives need to be able to look at the crash information from the line card to troubleshoot serious problems on the line card. The crash information contains all the line card memory information including the main memory and transmit and receive buffer information.


Caution Use caution when enabling the exception linecard global configuration command. Enabling all options could cause a large amount (150 to 250 MB) of crash information to be sent to the server.

Examples

The following example enables the storing of crash information for line card 8. By default, 256 MB of main memory is stored.

exception linecard slot 8
end

exception memory

To cause the router to create a core dump and reboot when certain memory size parameters are violated, use the exception memory global configuration command. To disable the rebooting and core dump, use the no form of this command.

exception memory {fragment size | minimum size}

no exception memory {fragment | minimum}

Syntax Description

Usage Guidelines


Caution Use the exception commands only under the direction of a technical support representative. Creating a core dump while the router is functioning in a network can disrupt network operation. The resulting binary file, which is very large, must be transferred to a TFTP, FTP, or rcp server and subsequently interpreted by technical personnel who have access to source code and detailed memory maps.

This command is useful to troubleshoot memory leaks.

The size is checked every 60 seconds. If you enter a size that is greater than the free memory, a core dump and router reload is generated after 60 seconds.

The exception dump command must be configured in order to generate a core file. If the exception dump command is not configured, the router reloads without generating a core dump.

Examples

The following example configures the router to monitor the free memory. If the amount of free memory falls below 250,000 bewitches router will dump the core file and reload.

exception dump 131.108.92.2
exception core-file memory.overrun
exception memory minimum 250000

execute-on

To execute commands on a line card, use the execute-on privileged EXEC command.

execute-on {slot slot-number | all | master} command

Syntax Description

slot slot-number

Executes the command on the line card in the specified slot. Slot numbers can be chosen from the following ranges:

  • Cisco 12012: 0 to 11

  • Cisco 12008: 0 to 7

  • Cisco AS5800: 0 to 13

all

Executes the command on all line cards.

master

(AS5800 only) Executes the designated command on a Dial Shelf Controller (DSC). Do not use this option; it is used for technical support troubleshooting only.

command

Cisco IOS command to remotely execute on the line card.

Command Modes

Privileged EXEC

Command History
Release Modification

11.2 GS

This command was introduced to support Cisco 12000 series Gigabit Switch Routers.

11.3(2)AA

Support for this command was added to the Cisco AS58000 Universal Access Server.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to execute a command on one or all line cards to monitor and maintain information on one or more line cards (for example, a line card in a specified slot on a dial shelf). This allows you to issue commands remotely; that is, to issue commands without having to log on to the line card directly. The all form of the command allows you to issue commands to all the line cards without having to log on to each on in turn.

Though this command doen not have a no form, note that it is possible to use the no form of the remotely executed commands used in this command.


Tips This command is useful when used with show commands (such as show version), as you can verify and troubleshoot the features found only on a specific line card. Please note, however, that because not all statistics are maintained on the line cards, the output from some of the show commands might not be consistent.

Cisco 12000 GSR Guidelines and Restrictions

You can use the execute-on privileged EXEC command only from Cisco IOS software running on the GRP card.


TimeSaver Though you can use the attach privileged EXEC command to execute commands on a specific line card, using the execute-on slot command saves you some steps. For example, first you must use the attach command to connect you to the Cisco IOS software running on the line card, next you must issue the command, and finally you must disconnect from the line card to return to the Cisco IOS software running on the GRP card. With the execute-on slot command, you can perform three steps with one command. In addition, the execute-on all command allows you to perform the same command on all line cards simultaneously.

Cisco AS5800 Guidelines and Restrictions

The purpose of the command is to conveniently enable certain commands to be remotely executed on the dial shelf cards from the router without connecting to each line card. This is the recommended procedure, because it avoids the possibility of adversely affecting a good configuration of a line card in the process. The command execute-on does not give access to every IOS command available on the Cisco AS5800. In general, the purpose of the execute-on command is to provide access to statistical reports from line cards without directly connecting to the dial shelf line cards.


Warning Do not use this command to change configurations on dial shelf cards, since such changes will not be reflected in the router shelf.

Using this command makes it possible to accumulate inputs for inclusion in the show tech-support command .

The master form of the command can run a designated command remotely on the router from the DSC card. However, using the console on the DSC is not recommended. It is used for technical support troubleshooting only.

The show tech-support command for each dial shelf card is bundled into the router shelf's show tech-support command via the execute-on facility.

The execute-on command also support interactive commands such as:

router: execute-on slave slot slot ping
 

The execute-on command has the same limitations/restrictions as a vty telnet client has, that is, it cannot reload DSC using:

router: execute-on slave slot slot reload
 

You can use the execute-on command to enable remote execution of the following partial list of commands:

Examples

The following example executes the show controllers command on the line card in slot 4 of a Cisco 12000 series GSR:

Router# execute-on slot 4 show controllers

Command Description

logging trap

Limits messages logged to the syslog servers based on severity. The command limits the logging of error messages sent to syslog servers to only those messages at the specified level.

logging buffered

To log messages to an internal buffer, use the logging buffered global configuration command. The no form of this command cancels the use of the buffer. The default form of this command returns the buffer size to the default size.

logging buffered [size]

no logging buffered

default logging buffered

Syntax Description

size

(Optional) Size of the buffer from 4096 to 4294967295 bytes. The default size varies by platform.

Defaults

For most platforms, the Cisco IOS software logs messages to the internal buffer.

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History
Release Modification

10.0

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

This command copies logging messages to an internal buffer. The buffer is circular in nature, so newer messages overwrite older messages after the buffer is filled.

To display the messages that are logged in the buffer, use the EXEC command show logging. The first message displayed is the oldest message in the buffer.

Do not make the buffer size too large because the router could run out of memory for other tasks. You can use the show memory EXEC command to view the free processor memory on the router; however, this is the maximum available and should not be approached. The command default logging buffered resets the buffer size to the default for the platform.

Examples

The following example enables logging to an internal buffer:

11.2

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Sending syslog messages to the SNMP network management station occurs when you enable syslog traps with the snmp-server enable traps global configuration command. Because SNMP traps are inherently unreliable and much too important to lose, at least one syslog message, the most recent message, is stored in a history table on the router. The history table, which contains table size, message status, and message text data, can be viewed using the show logging history command. The number of messages stored in the table is governed by the logging history size command.

Specifying a level causes messages at that severity level and numerically lower levels to be stored in the router's history table and sent to the SNMP network management station. Severity levels are numbered 1 to 8 with 1 being the most important message and 8 being the least important message (that is, the lower the number, the more critical the message). For example, specifying the level critical causes critical (3), alerts (2), and emergencies (1) messages to be stored to the history table and sent to the SNMP network management station. See Error Message Logging Priorities for History Table and SNMP Server for a list of severity levels.

Table 65 shows the level arguments.

This command was added to support the Cisco 12000 series Gigabit Switch Routers.

Usage Guidelines

Specifying a message level causes messages at that level and numerically lower levels to be stored in the internal buffer on the line cards.

Table 66 lists the message levels and associated numerical level. For example, if you specify a message level of critical, all critical, alert, and emergency messages will be logged.

To display the messages that are logged in the buffer, use the EXEC command show logging slot. The first message displayed is the oldest message in the buffer.

Do not make the buffer size too large because the router could run out of memory for other tasks. You can use the show memory EXEC command to view the free processor memory on the router; however, this is the maximum available and should not be approached.

Examples

The following example enables logging to an internal buffer on the line cards using the default buffer size and logging warning, error, critical, alert, and emergency messages:

10.0

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

The logging process controls the distribution of logging messages to the various destinations, such as the logging buffer, terminal lines, or syslog server. You can turn logging on and off for these destinations individually using the logging buffered, logging monitor, and logging commands. However, if the logging on command is disabled, no messages will be sent to these destinations. Only the console will receive messages.

Additionally, the logging process logs messages to the console and the various destinations after the processes that generated them have completed. When the logging process is disabled, messages are displayed on the console as soon as they are produced, often appearing in the middle of command output.


Caution Disabling the logging on command will significantly slow down the router. Any process generating debug or error messages will wait until the messages have been displayed on the console before continuing.

The logging synchronous command also affects the displaying of messages to the console. When the logging synchronous command is enabled, messages will only appear after the user types a carriage return.

Examples

The following example shows command output and message output when logging is enabled. The ping process finishes before any of the logging information is printed to the console (or any other destination).

Usage Guidelines

When synchronous logging of unsolicited messages and debug output is turned on, unsolicited Cisco IOS software output is displayed on the console or printed after solicited Cisco IOS software output is displayed or printed. Unsolicited messages and debug output is displayed on the console after the prompt for user input is returned. This is to keep unsolicited messages and debug output from being interspersed with solicited software output and prompts. After the unsolicited messages are displayed, the console displays the user prompt again.

When specifying a severity level number, consider that for the logging system, low numbers indicate greater severity and high numbers indicate lesser severity.

When a message-queue limit of a terminal line is reached, new messages are dropped from the line, although these messages might be displayed on other lines. If messages are dropped, the notice "%SYS-3-MSGLOST number-of-messages due to overflow" follows any messages that are displayed. This notice is displayed only on the terminal that lost the messages. It is not sent to any other lines, any logging servers, or the logging buffer.


Caution By configuring abnormally large message-queue limits and setting the terminal to "terminal monitor" on a terminal that is accessible to intruders, you expose yourself to "denial of service" attacks. An intruder could carry out the attack by putting the terminal in synchronous output mode, making a Telnet connection to a remote host, and leaving the connection idle. This could cause large numbers of messages to be generated and queued, and these messages would consume all available RAM. Although unlikely to occur, you should guard against this type of attack through proper configuration.

Examples

The following example identifies line 4 and enables synchronous logging for line 4 with a severity level of 6. Then the example identifies another line, line 2, and enables synchronous logging for line 2 with a severity level of 7 and specifies a maximum number of buffers to be 70000.

Usage Guidelines

The ping program sends an echo request packet to an address, then awaits a reply. Ping output can help you evaluate path-to-host reliability, delays over the path, and whether the host can be reached or is functioning.

To abnormally terminate a ping session, type the escape sequence---by default, Ctrl-^ X. You type the default by simultaneously pressing and releasing the Ctrl, Shift, and 6 keys, and then pressing the X key.

Table 67 describes the test characters that the ping facility sends.


Table 67: ping Test Characters

Each period indicates the network server timed out while waiting for a reply.

U

A destination unreachable error PDU was received.

C

A congestion experienced packet was received.

I

User interrupted test.

?

Unknown packet type.

&

Packet lifetime exceeded.


Note Not all protocols require hosts to support pings. For some protocols, the pings are Cisco-defined and are only answered by another Cisco router.

Examples

After you enter the ping command in privileged mode, the system prompts for one of the following keywords: appletalk, clns, ip, novell, apollo, vines, decnet, or xns. The default protocol is IP.

If you enter a host name or address on the same line as the ping command, the default action is taken as appropriate for the protocol type of that name or address.

Although the precise dialog varies somewhat from protocol to protocol, all are similar to the ping session using default values shown in the following output:

Command History
Release Modification

10.0

This command was introduced.

11.2 GS

The alarms, fans, hardware, leds, power-supply, table temperature, and voltages keywords were added for Cisco 12000 series Gigabit Switch Routers.

Usage Guidelines

Once a minute a routine is run that gets environmental measurements from sensors and stores the output into a buffer. This buffer is displayed on the console when show environment is invoked.

If a measurement exceeds desired margins, but has not exceeded fatal margins, a warning message is printed to the system console. The system software queries the sensors for measurements once a minute, but warnings for a given test point are printed at most once every hour for sensor readings in the warning range and once every 5 minutes for sensor readings in the critical range. If a measurement is out of line within these time segments, an automatic warning message appears on the console. As noted, you can query the environmental status with the show environment command at any time to determine whether a measurement is at the warning or critical tolerance.

If a shutdown occurs because of detection of fatal environmental margins, the last measured value from each sensor is stored in internal nonvolatile memory.

For environmental specifications, refer to the hardware installation and configuration publication for your individual chassis.

If the Cisco 12000 series exceeds environmental conditions, a message similar to the following is displayed on the console:

%GSR_ENV-2-WARNING: Slot 3 Hot Sensor Temperature exceeds 40 deg C;
Check cooling systems

Note Blower temperatures that exceed environmental conditions do not generate a warning message.

Examples

The following example shows the typical show environment display when there are no warning conditions in the system for the Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7200 series. This information may vary slightly depending on the platform you are using. The date and time of the query are displayed, along with the data refresh information and a message indicating that there are no warning conditions.

Table 80 describes the fields shown in the display.


Table 80: show environment all Field Descriptions for the Cisco 7500
Field Description

Arbiter type 1

Numbers indicating the arbiter type and backplane type.

Power supply

Number and type of power supply installed in the chassis.

Active fault conditions:

If any fault conditions exist (such as power supply failure, fan failure, and temperature too high), they are listed here.

Fan transfer point:

Software controlled fan speed. If the router is operating below its automatic restart temperature, the transfer point is reduced by 10 percent of the full range each minute. If the router is at or above its automatic restart temperature, the transfer point is increased in the same way.

Active trip points:

Temperature sensor is compared against the values displayed at the bottom of the show environment table command output.

15 of 15 soft shutdowns remaining

When the temperature increases above the "board shutdown" level, a soft shutdown occurs (that is, the cards are shut down, and the power supplies, fans, and CI continue to operate). When the system cools to the restart level, the system restarts. The system counts the number of times this occurs and keeps the up/down cycle from continuing forever. When the counter reaches zero, the system performs a hard shutdown, which requires a power cycle to recover. The soft shutdown counter is reset to its maximum value after the system has been up for 6 hours.

Dbus slots:

Indicates which chassis slots are occupied.

card, inlet, hotpoint, exhaust

Temperature measurements at the inlet, hotpoint, and exhaust areas of the card. The (6) and (7) indicate the slot numbers. Dual-RSP chassis can show two RSPs.

Shutdown temperature source

Indicates which of the three temperature sources is selected for comparison against the "shutdown" levels listed with the show environment table command.

Voltages (+12V, +5V, -12V, +24V, +2.5)

Voltages measured on the backplane.

Power supply current (PS1)

Current measured on the power supply.

The following example is for the Cisco 7500 series router. This example shows the measurements immediately before the last shutdown.

Cisco 12000 Series GSR

The following examples are for the Cisco 12000 series Gigabit Switch Routers.

The following is sample output from the show environment command for a Cisco 12012. Slots 0 through 11 are the line cards, slots 16 and 17 are the clock and scheduler cards, slots 18 through 20 are the switch fabric cards, slots 24 through 26 are the power supplies, and slots 28 and 29 are the blowers. An "NA" in the table means that no values was returned. In some cases it is because the equipment is not supported for that environmental parameter (for example, the power supply and blowers in slots 24, 26, 28, and 29 do not have a 3V power supply so an NA is displayed).

To display the state of logging (syslog), use the show logging privileged EXEC command.

show logging [history | slot slot-number | summary]

Syntax Description

history

(Optional) Displays information in the syslog history table only.

slot slot-number

(Optional) Displays information in the syslog history table for a specific line card. Slot numbers range from 0 to 11 for the Cisco 12012 and 0 to 7 for the Cisco 12008.

summary

(Optional) Displays counts of messages by type for each line card.

Command Modes

Privileged EXEC

Command History
Release Modification

10.0

This command was introduced.

11.2 GS

The slot and summary keywords were added.

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0 and was modified in Cisco IOS Release 11.2GS to add the slot and summary keywords.

This command displays the state of syslog error and event logging, including host addresses, and whether console logging is enabled. This command also displays Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) configuration parameters and protocol activity.

When you use the optional history keyword, information about the syslog history table is displayed such as the table size, the status of messages, and text of messages stored in the table. Messages stored in the table are governed by the logging history global configuration command.

Examples

The following is sample output from the show logging command:

Router# show logging
 
Syslog logging: enabled
     Console logging: disabled
     Monitor logging: level debugging, 266 messages logged.
     Trap logging: level informational, 266 messages logged.
     Logging to 192.180.2.238
 
SNMP logging: disabled, retransmission after 30 seconds
    0 messages logged
Router#
 

Table 84 describes significant fields shown in the display.


Table 84: show logging in Field Descriptions
Field Description

Syslog logging

When enabled, system logging messages are sent to a UNIX host that acts as a syslog server; that is, it captures and saves the messages.

Console logging

If enabled, states the level; otherwise, this field displays disabled.

Monitor logging

Minimum level of severity required for a log message to be sent to a monitor terminal (not the console).

Trap logging

Minimum level of severity required for a log message to be sent to a syslog server.

SNMP logging

Shows whether SNMP logging is enabled and the number of messages logged, and the retransmission interval.

The following is sample output from the show logging history command:

Router# show logging history
 
Syslog History Table: 1 maximum table entry, saving level notifications or higher
0 messages ignored, 0 dropped, 15 table entries flushed,
SNMP notifications not enabled
  entry number 16: SYS-5-CONFIG_I
  Configured from console by console
  timestamp: 1110
Router#

Table 85 describes the significant fields shown in the display.


Table 85: show logging history Field Descriptions
Field Description

maximum table entry

Number of messages that can be stored in the history table. Set with the logging history size command.

saving level notifications or higher

Level of messages that are stored in the history table and sent to the SNMP server (if SNMP notification is enabled). Set with the logging history command.

messages ignored

Number of messages not stored in the history table because the severity level is greater than that specified with the logging history command.

dropped

Number of messages that could not be processed due to lack of system resources. Dropped messages do not appear in the history table and are not sent to the SNMP server.

table entries flushed

Number of messages that have been removed from the history table to make room for newer messages.

SNMP notifications

Whether syslog traps of the appropriate level are sent to the SNMP server. Syslog traps are either enabled or not enabled through the snmp-server enable command.

entry number

Number of the message entry in the history table.

SYS-5-CONFIG_I
Configured from console by console

Cisco IOS syslog message consisting of the facility name (SYS) which indicates where the message came from, the severity level (5), the message name (CONFIG_I), and the message text.

timestamp

Time, based on the up time of the router, that the message was generated.

The following is sample output from the show logging summary command for the Cisco 12012. A number in the column indicates that the syslog contains that many messages for the line card. For example, line card in slot 9 has 1 error message, 4 warning messages, and 47 notification messages.

Table 93: show tcp Field Descriptions---First Section of Output
Field Description

tty0

Identifying number of the line.

connection 1

Number identifying the TCP connection.

to host xxx

Name of the remote host to which the connection has been made.

Connection state is ESTAB

A connection progresses through a series of states during its lifetime. These states follow in the order in which a connection progresses through them.

  • LISTEN---Waiting for a connection request from any remote TCP and port.

  • SYNSENT---Waiting for a matching connection request after having sent a connection request.

  • SYNRCVD---Waiting for a confirming connection request acknowledgment after having both received and sent a connection request.

  • ESTAB---Indicates an open connection; data received can be delivered to the user. This is the normal state for the data transfer phase of the connection.

  • FINWAIT1---Waiting for a connection termination request from the remote TCP or an acknowledgment of the connection termination request previously sent.

  • FINWAIT2---Waiting for a connection termination request from the remote TCP host.

  • CLOSEWAIT---Waiting for a connection termination request from the local user.

  • CLOSING---Waiting for a connection termination request acknowledgment from the remote TCP host.

  • LASTACK---Waiting for an acknowledgment of the connection termination request previously sent to the remote TCP host.

  • TIMEWAIT---Waiting for enough time to pass to be sure the remote TCP host has received the acknowledgment of its connection termination request.

  • CLOSED---Indicates no connection state at all.

For more information, see RFC 793, Transmission Control Protocol Functional Specification.

I/O status:

Number describing the current internal status of the connection.

unread input bytes:

Number of bytes that the lower-level TCP processes have read, but the higher level TCP processes have not yet processed.

Local host:

IP address of the network server.

Local port:

Local port number, as derived from the following equation: line-number + (512 * random-number). (The line number uses the lower nine bits; the other bits are random.)

Foreign host:

IP address of the remote host to which the TCP connection has been made.

Foreign port:

Destination port for the remote host.

Enqueued packets for retransmit:

Number of packets waiting on the retransmit queue. These are packets on this TCP connection that have been sent but have not yet been acknowledged by the remote TCP host.

input:

Number of packets that are waiting on the input queue to be read by the user.

saved:

Number of received out-of-order packets that are waiting for all packets comprising the message to be received before they enter the input queue. For example, if packets 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 have been received, packets 1 and 2 would enter the input queue, and packets 4, 5, and 6 would enter the saved queue.

The following line of output shows the current time according to the system clock of the local host:

Event Timers (current time is 67341276):
 

The time shown is the number of milliseconds since the system started.

The following lines of output display the number of times that various local TCP timeout values were reached during this connection. In this example, the local host retransmitted 30 times because it received no response from the remote host, and it transmitted an acknowledgment many more times because there was no data on which to piggyback.

Table 94 describes the fields in the preceding lines of output.


Table 94: show tcp Field Descriptions---Second Section of Output
Field Description

Timer:

The names of the timers in the display.

Starts:

The number of times the timer has been started during this connection.

Wakeups:

Number of keepalives transmitted without receiving any response. (This field is reset to zero when a response is received.)

Next:

The system clock setting that will trigger the next time this timer will go off.

Retrans

The Retransmission timer is used to time TCP packets that have not been acknowledged and are waiting for retransmission.

TimeWait

The TimeWait timer is used to ensure that the remote system receive a request to disconnect a session.

AckHold

The Acknowledgment timer is used to delay the sending of acknowledgments to the remote TCP in an attempt to reduce network use.

SendWnd

The Send Window is used to ensure that there is no closed window due to a lost TCP acknowledgment.

KeepAlive

The KeepAlive timer is used to control the transmission of test messages to the remote TCP to ensure that the link has not been broken without the local TCP's knowledge.

The following lines of output display the sequence numbers that TCP uses to ensure sequenced, reliable transport of data. The local host and remote host each use these sequence numbers for flow control and to acknowledge receipt of datagrams. Table 95 describes the specific fields in these lines of output.

MT8980 motherboard unit 0, Control Register = 0x1F, ODE Register = 0x06
Connection Memory for ST6:
Ch0:  0x62, Ch1:  0x00, Ch2:  0x00, Ch3:  0x00
Ch4:  0x00, Ch5:  0x00, Ch6:  0x00, Ch7:  0x00

Ch28: 0x00, Ch29: 0x00, Ch30: 0x00, Ch31: 0x00
 

To interpret the hexadecimal number 0x62 into meaningful information, you must translate it into binary code. These two hexadecimal numbers represent a connection from any stream and a channel on any stream. The number 6 translates into the binary code 0110, which represents the third-source stream. The number 2 translates into the binary code 0010, which represents the second-source channel.

Stream 6 (ST6) channel 0 is the destination for source stream 3 (ST3) channel 2 in this example.

The test interfaces EXEC command is intended for the factory checkout of network interfaces. It is not intended for diagnosing problems with an operational router. The test interfaces output does not report correct results if the router is attached to a "live" network. For each network interface that has an IP address that can be tested in loopback (MCI and ciscoBus Ethernet and all serial interfaces), the test interfaces command sends a series of ICMP echoes. Error counters are examined to determine the operational status of the interface.

10.0

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

The trace command works by taking advantage of the error messages generated by routers when a datagram exceeds its time-to-live (TTL) value.

The trace command starts by sending probe datagrams with a TTL value of one. This causes the first router to discard the probe datagram and send back an error message. The trace command sends several probes at each TTL level and displays the round-trip time for each.

The trace command sends out one probe at a time. Each outgoing packet may result in one or two error messages. A "time exceeded" error message indicates that an intermediate router has seen and discarded the probe. A "destination unreachable" error message indicates that the destination node has received the probe and discarded it because it could not deliver the packet. If the timer goes off before a response comes in, trace prints an asterisk (*).

The trace command terminates when the destination responds, when the maximum TTL is exceeded, or when the user interrupts the trace with the escape sequence. By default, to invoke the escape sequence, type Ctrl-^ X---by simultaneously pressing and releasing the Ctrl, Shift, and 6 keys, and then pressing the X key.

To use nondefault parameters and invoke an extended trace test, enter the command without a destination argument. You will be stepped through a dialog to select the desired parameters.

Common Trace Problems

Due to bugs in the IP implementation of various hosts and routers, the IP trace command may behave in odd ways.

Not all destinations will respond correctly to a probe message by sending back an "ICMP port unreachable" message. A long sequence of TTL levels with only asterisks, terminating only when the maximum TTL has been reached, may indicate this problem.

There is a known problem with the way some hosts handle an "ICMP TTL exceeded" message. Some hosts generate an "ICMP" message but they reuse the TTL of the incoming packet. Since this is zero, the ICMP packets do not make it back. When you trace the path to such a host, you may see a set of TTL values with asterisks (*). Eventually the TTL gets high enough that the ICMP message can get back. For example, if the host is six hops away, trace will time out on responses 6 through 11.

Trace IP Routes

The following display shows sample IP trace output when a destination host name has been specified:

Table 100 describes the fields that are unique to the extended trace sequence, as shown in the display.


Table 100: trace Field Descriptions
Field Description

Target IP address

You must enter a host name or an IP address. There is no default.

Source address

One of the interface addresses of the router to use as a source address for the probes. The router will normally pick what it feels is the best source address to use.

Numeric display

The default is to have both a symbolic and numeric display; however, you can suppress the symbolic display.

Timeout in seconds

The number of seconds to wait for a response to a probe packet. The default is 3 seconds.

Probe count

The number of probes to be sent at each TTL level. The default count is 3.

Minimum Time to Live [1]

The TTL value for the first probes. The default is 1, but it can be set to a higher value to suppress the display of known hops.

Maximum Time to Live [30]

The largest TTL value that can be used. The default is 30. The trace command terminates when the destination is reached or when this value is reached.

Port Number

The destination port used by the UDP probe messages. The default is 33434.

Loose, Strict, Record, Timestamp, Verbose

IP header options. You can specify any combination. The trace command issues prompts for the required fields. Note that trace will place the requested options in each probe; however, there is no guarantee that all routers (or end nodes) will process the options.

Loose

Allows you to specify a list of nodes that must be traversed when going to the destination.

Strict

Allows you to specify a list of nodes that must be the only nodes traversed when going to the destination.

Record

Allows you to specify the number of hops to leave room for.

Timestamp

Allows you to specify the number of time stamps to leave room for.

Verbose

If you select any option, the verbose mode is automatically selected and trace prints the contents of the option field in any incoming packets. You can prevent verbose mode by selecting it again, toggling its current setting.

Table 101describes the characters that can appear in trace command output.


Table 101: ip trace Text Characters
Char Description

nn msec

For each node, the round-trip time in milliseconds for the specified number of probes.

*

The probe timed out.

?

Unknown packet type.

A

Administratively unreachable. Usually, this output indicates that an access list is blocking traffic.

H

Host unreachable.

N

Network unreachable.

P

Protocol unreachable.

Q

Source quench.

U

Port unreachable.

Related Commands
Command Description

trace (user)

Discovers the CLNS routes that packets will actually take when traveling to their destination.

trace (user)

To discover the IP routes that packets will actually take when traveling to their destination, use the trace EXEC command.

trace [protocol] [destination]

Syntax Description

protocol

(Optional) Protocols that can be used are appletalk, clns, ip and vines.

destination

(Optional) Destination address or host name on the command line. The default parameters for the appropriate protocol are assumed and the tracing action begins.

Defaults

The protocol argument is based on the Cisco IOS software examination of the format of the destination argument. For example, if the software finds a destination in IP format, the protocol defaults to ip.

Usage Guidelines

The trace command works by taking advantage of the error messages generated by routers when a datagram exceeds its time-to-live (TTL) value.

The trace command starts by sending probe datagrams with a TTL value of one. This causes the first router to discard the probe datagram and send back an error message. The trace command sends several probes at each TTL level and displays the round-trip time for each.

The trace command sends out one probe at a time. Each outgoing packet may result in one or two error messages. A "time exceeded" error message indicates that an intermediate router has seen and discarded the probe. A "destination unreachable" error message indicates that the destination node has received the probe and discarded it because it could not deliver the packet. If the timer goes off before a response comes in, trace prints an asterisk (*).

The trace command terminates when the destination responds, when the maximum TTL is exceeded, or when the user interrupts the trace with the escape sequence. By default, to invoke the escape sequence, type Ctrl-^ X by simultaneously pressing and releasing the Ctrl, Shift, and 6 keys, and then pressing the X key.

Common Trace Problems

Due to bugs in the IP implementation of various hosts and routers, the IP trace command may behave in odd ways.

Not all destinations will respond correctly to a probe message by sending back an "ICMP port unreachable" message. A long sequence of TTL levels with only asterisks, terminating only when the maximum TTL has been reached, may indicate this problem.

There is a known problem with the way some hosts handle an "ICMP TTL exceeded" message. Some hosts generate an ICMP message but they reuse the TTL of the incoming packet. Since this is zero, the ICMP packets do not make it back. When you trace the path to such a host, you may see a set of TTL values with asterisks (*). Eventually the TTL gets high enough that the "ICMP" message can get back. For example, if the host is six hops away, trace will time out on responses 6 through 11.
