Configuring Online Diagnostics (Catalyst 8540 MSR)
Online and insertion diagnostics detect and report hardware failures in the Catalyst 8540 MSR during
system bootup and operation.
The online diagnostics on the Catalyst 8540 MSR
provide the following types of tests:
• Access tests between the route processor and the switch processors, feature cards, port adapters, and
interface modules
• Online insertion and removal (OIR) diagnostic tests
• Snake tests through the switch router to ensure connectivity between the ports
Note Online diagnostics tests only run on the primary route processor.
Access Test (Catalyst 8540 MSR)
The access tests ensure connectivity at a configurable interval between the primary route processor and
the following:
• Active switch processors
• Standby switch processor, if it is present
