Displaying Statistics and Error Messages
Use the Statistics Manager Quick Get tool or the Technician Interface
get
command to display the number of BOOTP and TFTP packets forwarded and
dropped for each interface in the path between the ASN and the BOOTP server.
Use the Events Manager tool or the Technician Interface
log
command
to display
the events associated with the interface and the BOOTP and TFTP protocols.
Refer to Configuring and Managing Routers with Site Manager for instructions on
using the Statistics Manager’s Quick Get tool and the Events Manager. That guide
also describes each event displayed in the log.
Refer to Using Technician Interface Software for instructions on using the
get
and
log
commands.
Using Packet Capture: Guidelines
Use the Packet Capture utility to view incoming or outgoing BOOTP or TFTP
packets and isolate errors to a specific router interface. This utility is available
through the Technician Interface on routers running Version 7.80 (BayStream
Version 5.00) or later.
Refer to Using Technician Interface Software for instructions on how to use
Packet Capture. Refer to Configuring SNMP, RMON, BootP, DHCP, and RARP
Services for a description of BOOTP packets.
Use Packet Capture as follows:
1.
Test the BOOTP server’s next-hop router in the path to the ASN.
2.
Test the upstream router’s interface to the ASN.
3.
Test the upstream router’s interface to the next-hop router.
4.
Test the interfaces that receive and forward the BOOTP and TFTP
packets of the router in the middle of the path.
5.
Continue testing each router in the path until you isolate the problem
interface.
Note:
The instructions that follow assume that Version 7.80 (BayStream
Version 5.00) or later is running on all routers in the path between the ASN and
the BOOTP server.
