Configuring Online Diagnostics
Note The bootup diagnostic level applies to the entire switch and cannot be configured on a per-module basis.
To specify the bootup diagnostic level, perform this task in privileged mode:
This example shows how to specify bypass as the bootup diagnostic level:
Console> (enable) set diagnostic bootup level complete
Diagnostic level set to complete
Console> (enable)
Console> (enable) show diagnostic bootup level
Current bootup diagnostic level: complete
Console> (enable)
Configuring On-Demand Online Diagnostics
Caution Most of the online diagnostic memory tests are on-demand tests because of their disruptive nature and
time duration. You should use the memory tests only when you suspect a problem in the hardware and
only after you have isolated the system from the live production network environment.
Note Online diagnostic tests use the EOBC channel to communicate with the rest of the system. Proper
working of the EOBC channel between the supervisor engine and the SLCP, LCP, and the module
processors is required for performing the online diagnostic tests.
Use the information in these sections for configuring on-demand online diagnostics:
• Running On-Demand Online Diagnostic Tests, page 21-3
• On-Demand Online Diagnostic Configuration Guidelines and Restrictions, page 21-4
• On-Demand Online Diagnostic Configuration Procedure, page 21-4
• Configuring Diagnostics Operations, page 21-8
Running On-Demand Online Diagnostic Tests
Caution Use this section to familiarize yourself with the on-demand diagnostic start and diagnostic stop
commands. To run any of the on-demand online diagnostic tests, use the procedure in the “On-Demand
Online Diagnostic Configuration Procedure” section on page 21-4. Do not attempt to run these tests
without following the on-demand online diagnostics configuration procedure.
