Monitoring the DSL Cards
The Hotwire DSL software provides menu options to monitor the activity of the
Hotwire DSL cards. The monitoring screens allow you to:
List the status of active ports and interfaces in a card, as well as display
statistics about the physical layers and interfaces.
Display network protocol statistics, such as information about an application
program assigned to a specific socket number, UDP statistics, TCP data and
connection statistics, IP statistics, ICMP packet statistics, and SNMP statistics
including SNMP authentication statistics.
Display information about the Client, ARP, and Virtual Network Identifiers
(VNIDs).
Display endpoint information about DSL ports such as Service Node type,
system name, system contact, and system location. Model and serial number,
along with firmware and hardware revisions, are also shown.
Use the monitoring screens to help you gather pertinent information and isolate
potential problem areas. You can monitor the system with either Administrator or
Operator permission. For more information about monitoring the system, see
Chapter 4,
Monitoring the Hotwire DSL System.
Troubleshooting and Diagnostics
The Hotwire DSL system provides DSL diagnostic menu options, for example,
that:
Display self-test results for CPU health, memory and ports, and reset time.
Show major alarms such as Selftest Failure, Processor Failure, and DSL or
Ethernet port failure.
Show minor alarms such as Configuration Error or Incorrect SN ports.
Run a nondisruptive packet echo test over the DSL line.
NOTE:
You must have Administrator permission to perform most of the
troubleshooting and diagnostic activities. However, you can run nondisruptive
tests as a user with Operator permission.
For more information about troubleshooting and diagnostics, see Chapter 5,
Diagnostics and Troubleshooting.
