Preface

The H3C S5800&S5820X documentation set includes 11 configuration guides, which describe the

software features for the S5800&S5820X Series Ethernet Switches and guide you through the software

configuration procedures. These configuration guides also provide configuration examples to help you

apply software features to different network scenarios.

The Network Management and Monitoring Configuration Guide describes network management and

monitoring fundamentals and configuration. It describes how to view the system information, collect

traffic statistics, sample packets, assess the network performance, synchronize time for all devices with

clocks in your network, supply power for the attached devices by using PoE, perform cluster

management for switches, and use the ping, tracert, and debug commands to check and debug the

current network connectivity.

z Ping and Tracert Configuration Example

You can use the ping command and the tracert command to verify the current network connectivity,

and use the debug command to enable debugging and thus to diagnose system faults based on the

debugging information.

Ping

Introduction

The ping command allows you to verify whether a device with a specified address is reachable, and

to examine network connectivity.

The ping function is implemented through the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP):

1) The source device sends an ICMP echo request to the destination device.

2) The source device determines whether the destination is reachable based on whether it

receives an ICMP echo reply; if the destination is reachable, the source device determines the

link quality based on the numbers of ICMP echo requests sent and replies received, determines

the distance between the source and destination based on the round trip time of ping packets.

Configuring Ping

Follow the step below to configure the ping function:

z For a low-speed network, you are recommended to set a larger value for the timeout timer

(indicated by the -t parameter in the command) when configuring the ping command.

z Only the directly connected segment address can be pinged if the outgoing interface is

specified with the -i argument

Ping Configuration Example

reach each other, get the detailed information of routes from Device A to Device C.

The principle of ping –r is as shown in Figure 1-1.

1) The source (Device A) sends an ICMP echo request with the RR option being empty to the

destination (Device C).

2) The intermediate device (Device B) adds the IP address (1.1.2.1) of its outbound interface to

the RR option of the ICMP echo request, and forwards the packet.

3) Upon receiving the request, the destination device copies the RR option in the request and

adds the IP address (1.1.2.2) of its outbound interface to the RR option. Then the destination

device sends an ICMP echo reply.

4) The intermediate device adds the IP address (1.1.1.2) of its outbound interface to the RR option

in the ICMP echo reply, and then forwards the reply.

5) Upon receiving the reply, the source device adds the IP address (1.1.1.1) of its inbound

interface to the RR option. Finally, you can get the detailed information of routes from Device A

to Device C: 1.1.1.1 <-> {1.1.1.2; 1.1.2.1} <-> 1.1.2.2.

Tracert

Introduction

By using the tracert command, you can trace the Layer 3 devices involved in delivering an IP

packet from source to destination to check whether a network is available. This is useful for

identification of failed node(s) in the event of network failure.

Figure 1-2 Tracert diagram

The tracert function is implemented through ICMP, as shown in

Figure 1-2:

1) The source (Device A) sends a packet with a TTL value of 1 to the destination (Device D). The

UDP port of the packet is a port number that will not be used by any application of the

destination.

2) The first hop (Device B) (the Layer 3 device that first receives the packet) responds by sending

a TTL-expired ICMP error message to the source, with its IP address 1.1.1.2 encapsulated. In

this way, the source device can get the address (1.1.1.2) of the first Layer 3 device.

3) The source device sends a packet with a TTL value of 2 to the destination device.

4) The second hop (Device C) responds with a TTL-expired ICMP error message, which gives the

source device the address (1.1.2.2) of the second Layer 3 device.

5) The above process continues until the ultimate destination device is reached. No application of

the destination uses this UDP port. Therefore, the destination replies a port unreachable ICMP

error message with the destination IP address 1.1.3.2.

6) When the source device receives the port unreachable ICMP error message, it knows that the

packet has reached the destination, and it can get the addresses of all the Layer 3 devices

involved to get to the destination device (1.1.1.2, 1.1.2.2, 1.1.3.2).

Configuring Tracert

Configuration prerequisites

z Enable sending of ICMP timeout packets on the intermediate device (the device between the

source and destination devices). If the intermediate device is an H3C device, execute the ip

ttl-expires enable command on the device. For more information about this command, see IP

Performance Optimization Configuration Commands in the Layer 3 - IP Services Command

Reference.

1-5

z Enable sending of ICMP destination unreachable packets on the destination device. If the

destination device is an H3C device, execute the ip unreachables enable command. For more

information about this command, see IP Performance Optimization Configuration Commands in

the Layer 3 - IP Services Command Reference.

System Debugging

Introduction to System Debugging

The device provides various debugging functions. For the majority of protocols and features

supported, the system provides corresponding debugging information to help users diagnose errors.

The following two switches control the display of debugging information:

z Protocol debugging switch, which controls protocol-specific debugging information.

z Screen output switch, which controls whether to display the debugging information on a certain

screen.

As

Figure 1-3 illustrates, assume the device can provide debugging for the three modules 1, 2, and

3. The debugging information can be output on a terminal only when both the protocol debugging

switch and the screen output switch are turned on.

Configuring System Debugging

Output of the debugging information may reduce system efficiency. Administrators usually use the

debugging commands to diagnose network failure. After completing the debugging, disable the

corresponding debugging function, or use the undo debugging all command to disable all the

debugging functions.

Output of debugging information depends on the configurations of the information center and the

debugging commands of each protocol and functional module. Displaying the debugging
