Introduction

This document is not specific to any software version or device model.

Troubleshooting ACL

This section provides troubleshooting information for common problems with ACLs.

ACL application failure with an error message

Symptom

The system fails to apply a packet filter or ACL-based classifiers in a QoS policy to the hardware. It also

displays the "Reason: Not enough hardware resource" message.

Solution

To resolve this problem:

1. Execute the display acl resource command, and then check the Remaining field for ACL resources

insufficiency.

If this field displays 0, the ACL hardware resources are exhausted.

2. To free hardware resources, remove unused packet filters or ACL-based classifiers from QoS

policies.

3. If the problem persists, contact H3C Support.

ACL application failure without an error message

Symptom

The system applies a packet filter or a QoS policy that contains ACLs to the hardware. However, the ACL

does not take effect.

Solution

To resolve the problem:

1. Verify that the number of member chassis does not exceed the upper limit (nine).

If you are adding new chassis to an existing IRF fabric, use the display irf command to identify the

number of member chassis already in the chassis.

2. Verify that the member ID of each member chassis is unique:

a. Execute the display irf configuration command to view the member ID of each chassis.

b. If two member chassis use duplicate IDs, assign a unique member ID to each member.

3. Verify that the physical IRF links are connected correctly:

IMPORTANT:

W

hen you connect two neighboring IRF members, you must connect the physical ports of IRF-port 1

on one member to the physical ports of IRF-port 2 on the other.

a. Execute the display irf configuration command on each member chassis, and check the

IRF-Port1 and IRF-Port2 fields for IRF port bindings.

b. Verify that the physical IRF connections are consistent with the IRF port bindings.

c. If there are inconsistencies, reconfigure the IRF port bindings or reconnect the physical IRF

ports.

4. Verify that IRF links are 10 Gbps:

a. Verify that the transceiver modules or cables for IRF connection are labeled with 10Gbps or

SFP+.

b. Replace a transceiver module or cable if it is not for 10 Gbps connection.

5. Verify that all IRF links are up:

a. Execute the display irf topology command, and then check the Link field.

b. If the Link field for an IRF port displays DOWN, execute the display interface command, and

then check the current state field.

− If all physical ports bound to the IRF port are down, bring them up.

− If the IRF port has at least one physical port in up state, proceed to the next step.

c. Save the configuration, and then execute the irf-port-configuration active command in system

view to activate the IRF port configuration.

IMPORTANT:

A

uration loss, you must save

the configuration before you execute the irf-port-configuration active command.

6. Verify that all member chassis use the same software version:

a. Execute the display version command to identify the software version of each member device.

b. Upgrade the software of all member chassis to the same version.

7

NOTE:

Typically the irf auto-update enable command can automatically synchronize a member chassis with

the software version of the master chassis. However, the synchronization might fail when the gap

between the software versions is large.

7. If the problem persists, contact H3C Support.

a. Execute the display interface command to display the status of the member ports.

b. If the member ports are down, follow the solution in "Link up failure on a port" to

troubleshoot

the problem.

3. Verify that the member ports have the same attribute configurations and class-two configurations

as the reference port:

a. Execute the display current-configuration interface command to display the configurations of

the aggregate interface and the member ports.

b. Configure the member ports to make sure they have the same attribute configurations and

class-two configurations as the reference port.

4. Identify the aggregation mode of the aggregation group.

{ If the aggregation mode is static, proceed to step 6.

{ If the aggregation mode is dynamic, proceed to step 5.

5. Verify that the peer member ports have the same attribute configurations and class-two

configurations as the peer port of the reference port:

a. Execute the display current-configuration interface command on the peer device to display the

configurations of the peer member ports.

b. Configure the peer member ports to make sure the peer ports have the same attribute

configurations and class-two configurations as the peer port of the reference port.

6. Verify that the number of member ports in the aggregation group does not exceed eight.

a. Execute the display link-aggregation verbose command to verify that the number of member

ports does not exceed eight.

If the number of member ports exceeds eight, the ports with higher port numbers are in

Unselected state.

b. Use the undo port link-aggregation group command to remove undesired member ports from

the aggregation group.

This makes sure all member ports you assign to the aggregation group can become Selected.

Solution

To solve the problem:

1. Verify that no error packets have been received on the local port:

a. Execute the display interface command and check for error packets.

<H3C>display interface GigabitEthernet1/0/36

GigabitEthernet1/0/36 current state: UP

IP Packet Frame Type: PKTFMT_ETHNT_2, Hardware Address: 000f-e200-002b

……

Last 300 seconds output: 0 packets/sec 10 bytes/sec 0%

Input (total): 57 packets, 7838 bytes

0 unicasts, 50 broadcasts, 2 multicasts, 0 pauses

Input (normal): 52 packets, - bytes

0 unicasts, 50 broadcasts, 2 multicasts, 0 pauses

Input: 5 input errors, 0 runts, 0 giants, 0 throttles

5 CRC, 0 frame, - overruns, 0 aborts

- ignored, - parity errors

b. If the statistics are not zero, the following failures might occur:

− Interface hardware failure—To test such a failure, connect the cable that is connected to the

local port to a correctly operating port (for example, Port A) with the same configurations as

the local port. If Port A forwards traffic correctly, you can determine that the hardware of the

local port fails. In this event, you must replace the local port with a correctly operating port.

− Transceiver module, fiber, or twisted pair failure—To test and solve such a failure, replace

the transceiver module, fiber, or twisted pair with a good one.

− Inconsistent configurations—Verify that the configurations (such as speed and duplex mode)

of the peer are consistent with the local port. If they are inconsistent, modify the

configurations of the local port.

c. If the problem persists, contact H3C Support.

2. Verify that packets are not mistakenly filtered out by ACLs:

a. Examine the ACL and QoS policy configuration for packet filtering on the port, on the VLAN of

the port, or globally. If packets are mistakenly filtered out, modify the ACL or QoS policy

configuration.

− To display the ACL configuration on the port for packet filtering, execute the display

packet-filter command.

− To display the QoS policy configuration on the port, execute the display qos policy

command.

− To display the QoS policy configuration on the VLANs of the port, execute the display qos

vlan-policy command.

− To display the global QoS policy configuration, execute the display qos policy global

command.

b. Examine whether packets are filtered out by automatically created ACLs.

The following features automatically create ACLs:

− IP source guard—Configured by using the ip source binding or ip verify source command.

To display source guard binding entries, execute the display ip source binding or display

18

ipv6 source binding command. If IP source guard is configured but the packets match no

entry, further troubleshoot the problem based on the way the binding entries are created.

− Portal authentication—When portal authentication is configured, the port discards the

packets of unauthenticated users. To display the portal configuration of the port or the

VLANs of the port, execute the display portal interface command. To cancel the portal

configuration on the port, execute the undo portal command in Layer 2 Ethernet interface

view. To cancel the portal configuration on the VLAN of the port, execute the undo portal

server server-name command on the corresponding VLAN interface.

− EAD fast deployment—When EAD fast deployment is enabled, the port discards packets of

unauthenticated users except when the users only access a free IP. To display whether EAD

fast deployment is enabled on the port, execute the display dot1x command.

− MFF—To display the MFF configuration information of the VLAN to which the port belongs,

execute the display mac-forced-forwarding vlan command. If the output does not contain

the gateway information, examine whether the ARP snooping or DHCP snooping

configuration is correct.

3. Verify that the port is not blocked:

{ Execute the display stp brief command to determine whether STP sets the state of the port to

discarding. When the port is in discarding state, it cannot forward traffic. H3C recommends

disabling STP on the port, or configuring the port as an edge port if the port is connected to a

terminal device.

{ If the port belongs to an aggregation group, execute the display link-aggregation verbose

command to identify the port status. When the port is an Unselected port, it cannot forward

traffic. Locate the reasons why the port is in Unselected state. For example, the attribute

configurations of the port are different from the configurations of the reference port.

{ Execute the display rrpp verbose command to determine whether the port is down or RRPP sets

the state of the port to blocked. When the port is in down or blocked state, it cannot forward

traffic.

− If the port is in down state, examine whether the port is physically or administratively shut

down.

− If the port is in blocked state, find the reasons. For example, the roles of the primary and

secondary port on the master node are reversed, or the broadcast storm suppression

mechanism blocks the port because SRPT failure occurs in a multi-homed subring.

{ Execute the display smart-link group command to determine whether Smart Link sets the state

of the port to standby or down. When the port is in standby or down state, it cannot forward

traffic.

If the port is in standby state, set the port as the primary port.

If the port is in down state, the follow reasons might apply, and further troubleshooting is

required:

− The uplink device is configured with Monitor link, and its uplink is down.

− The link between the local port and its peer fails.

− The local port is administratively shut down.

4. Examine the following configurations that might cause packet loss:

{ VLAN configuration—Execute the display this command in Ethernet interface view to display

whether the port is in the VLAN of the packets. If not, add the port to the VLAN.

{ Blackhole MAC address entries—Execute the display mac-address blackhole command to

display blackhole MAC address entries. If the packets are discarded because they match a

19

blackhole MAC address entry, delete the entry. To delete the blackhole MAC address entry,

execute the undo mac-address blackhole mac-address vlan vlan-id command.

{ Rate limit—Execute the display qos lr interface command to display the rate limit configuration

on the port. If rate limit is configured on the port, make sure the committed information rate (CIR)

and the committed burst size (CBS) are appropriate. To adjust the CIR and CBS values, execute

the qos lr { inbound | outbound } cir committed-information-rate [ cbs committed-burst-size ]

command.

{ Storm suppression—Execute the display this command in Ethernet interface view to display the

configuration of storm suppression. Storm suppression includes broadcast suppression,

multicast suppression, and unknown unicast suppression. To adjust the suppression thresholds,

execute the broadcast-suppression, multicast-suppression, and unicast-suppression

commands, respectively.
