Diagnostics Commands on Cisco IOS XR Software


This module describes the commands used to manage diagnostics on a router running Cisco IOS XR software.

diagnostic bootup level

To configure the diagnostic for booting a card, use the diagnostic bootup level command in administration configuration mode. To remove the specified command from the configuration file and restore the system to its default condition, use the no form of this command.

diagnostic bootup level {bypass | complete | minimal} location node-id

no diagnostic bootup level {bypass | complete | minimal} location node-id

Syntax Description

bypass

Specifies bypassing diagnostics at bootup.

complete

Specifies running full diagnostics at bootup.

minimal

Specifies running minimal diagnostics at bootup.

location node-id

Specifies a card. The node-id argument is entered in the rack/slot/module notation.


Defaults

The default bootup diagnostics level is minimal.

Command Modes

Command History

Release
Modification

Release 3.4.0

This command was introduced on the Cisco CRS-1.

Release 3.5.0

No modification.


Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.


Note There are no bootup diagnostic tests available in Release 3.5. Both the minimal and complete bootup diagnostic test levels contain no tests.


Use the diagnostic bootup level command to specify the level of diagnostics to be run when a card is booted.

The new level takes effect at the next reload or the next time that an online insertion and removal is performed.

You can set the bootup diagnostics level as minimal or complete, or you can bypass the bootup diagnostics entirely. Use the complete keyword to run a complete set of bootup diagnostic tests; use the minimal keyword to run the minimal set of bootup diagnostic tests. Use the bypass keyword to bypass all diagnostic tests.


Note To specify a physical layer interface module (PLIM) node using the node-id argument, use the following notation: rack/PLslot-number/SP. For example, 0/PL1/SP. PLIM diagnostic tests are supported on the Cisco CRS-1 router.

Description

show diagnostic bootup level

Displays the current bootup level configured for the specified location.

show diagnostic content

Displays test information including test ID, test attributes, and supported coverage test levels for each test and for all components.


diagnostic load

To load an offline diagnostic image for integrated field diagnostics, use the diagnostic load command in administration EXEC mode.

diagnostic load location node-id [autostart {basic | all}]

Syntax Description

location node-id

Loads an offline diagnostic image for a specified location. The node-id argument is entered in the rack/slot/module notation. All modules in the specified slot are loaded with the offline diagnostic image.

autostart {basic | all}

(Optional) Starts running the diagnostic tests after the image has loaded. The following options are available:

basic—Runs basic tests

all—Runs all tests.

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.

Use the diagnostic load command to load an offline diagnostic image used for integrated field diagnostics. Loading a diagnostic image places the specified card out of service.

The time it takes to load a diagnostic image varies depending on the card. Use the show platform command to determine if the image has been loaded and if the card has been placed out of service.


Note The distributed route processor (DRP) does not support the automatic running of tests when the image is loaded for CPU0 and CPU1. After the diagnostic image is loaded, use the diagnostic start location node-id test {id | all | basic | non-disruptive} command to execute the tests.

ping (administration EXEC)

To send internal echo messages from one node to another, use the ping command in administration EXEC mode.

ping {control-eth | fabric} location node-id [count pings | interval milliseconds | pattern random | retries number | size payload_size | timeout seconds]

Syntax Description

control-eth

Specifies a control ethernet ping test.

fabric

Specifies a fabric ping test.

count pings

(Optional) Number of pings to send each time the command is run. The test reports results and statistics after all pings have been sent and received (or timed out). Range is from 0 through 4294967295.

interval milliseconds

(Optional) Hold-off time between each ping in milliseconds. Range is from 0 through 4294967295. The total test time will be as follows:

(count-1) * (RTT + interval) + RTT

RTT = Round Trip Time for the ping.

pattern random

(Optional) Specifies a data pattern for the ping packet payload.

retries number

(Optional) Maximum number of times a failed ping transmission is sent before the packet transmission is considered a failure. Range is from 0 through 4294967295.

Note Packet transmission failure is usually an indication of a server software transient. In this case, Cisco recommends that you run the ping command again.

size payload_size

(Optional) Specifies the payload size for each ping packet size. Range is from 0 through 4294967295 bytes. The maximum payload size allowed may be limited, depending on the transport type that is used (fabric or control-ethernet).

timeout seconds

(Optional) Specifies the maximum time to wait for response to a ping. Range is from 0 through 4294967295 seconds.

If a ping does not receive a response before the configured timeout expires, the ping statistics reflect it as a discrepancy between the "Sent:" and "Rec'd:" packet count, and the test is considered failed. Because of this, Cisco recommends that you do not set the timeout to 0.

When you enter the ping command, a ping is sent to the node at the specified location. The received response is compared byte-by-byte to the sent packet. If a ping response is not received before the specified time-out, or if the ping response does not match the transmitted ping, the ping is considered failed.

A node that is unreachable or intermittently working impacts the total run time for the test as follows:

(received_packet_count * RTT + lost_packet_count * timeout + (count-1) * interval)
