Catalyst 2900-XL FST Failure Debug Instruction

Purpose:
The purpose of this instruction is to describe the steps necessary to run the SFT
semi-manually for any Catalyst 2900-XL units that failed the System Functional test at
auto-test. The scope of this instruction is to allow the debugger to be able to run a
particular test repeatedly for troubleshooting purpose.

Catalyst 2900-XL SFT Test Description:

The Catalyst2900-XL System Functional Test involves sending different size/speed of
traffic through the pre-configured UUTs. The configuration of the two UUTs are to
form a snake test configuration so Netcom generated traffic will travel through every
ports both UUTs. Below is a description of each test:

Tests Speed Half/Full TX Port RX Port

Test 9 10mps Half 1 2
Test 10 10mps Half 1 2
Test 11 10mps Half 1 2
Test 12 10mps Half 2 1
Test 13 10mps Half 2 1
Test 14 10mps Half 2 1

Test 1 100mps Half 1 2

Test 2 100mps Half 1 2
Test 3 100mps Half 1 2
Test 4 100mps Half 2 1
Test 5 100mps Half 2 1
Test 6 100mps Half 2 1

On the above, the TX port and the RX port is the smart bit cards on the NetCom chassis.
Port 1 (smart bit card 1) is connected to Port 1 of UUT1. Port 2 (smart bit card 2) is
connected to the proper port of UUT2 depends on which Catalyst 2900-XL under tested.
The Catalyst 2900-XL system functional test runs on two major modes, namely the
10mps Half duplex mode(test 9-14), the 100mps Half Duplex mode(test 1-6). Every
time a test mode change, the configuration of the UUTs need to be changed to the proper
configuration for the test mode.

Catalyst 2900-XL System Functional Test Failure Debug Set up and Procedure.
1. Set up the failed units as if running the System Functional test (refer to the System
Functional Test Procedure document for set up).
2. Start auto-test as you are running the System Functional Test. Open a Awin on cell
0
and the cells the UUTs connected to. Wait until the test stopped or the cells turned
red or abort the test once color of cell 0 turn blue. Look at the Awin of cell 0 to see
which pair of UUTs failed which test. Test 7, 8, 15, 16 failures are don’t care.
To run test 9-14, at the cell 1(UUT1) Awin window, configure UUT1 as follow,
Switch#conf t
Switch(config)#int fa0/1
Switch(config-if)#speed 10
Switch(config-if)#duplex half
Switch(config-if)#end
Switch#

At cell 2, if testing a pair of WS-C2908-XLs, configure UUT2 as follow;

Switch#conf t
Switch(config)#int fa0/8
Switch(config-if)#speed 10
Switch(config-if)#duplex half

Switch(config-if)#end
Switch#
At cell 2, if testing a pair of WS-C2916M-XL with WS-X2914-XL, configure the UUT
as follow,

Switch#conf t
Switch(config)#int fa0/16
Switch(config-if)#speed 10
Switch(config-if)#duplex half
Switch(config-if)#end
Switch#

Note: WS-X2922-XL with a WS-C2916M-XL will not run test 9-14.

At cell 2, if testing a pair of WS-C2924-XLs, configure the UUT2 as follow,

Switch#conf t
Switch(config)#int fa0/24
Switch(config-if)#speed 10
Switch(config-if)#duplex half
Switch(config-if)#end
Switch#

At cell 2, if testing a pair of WS-C2924C-XLs, configure the UUT2 as follow,

Switch#conf t
Switch(config)#int fa0/22
Switch(config-if)#speed 10
Switch(config-if)#duplex half
Switch(config-if)#end
Switch#

To run the Netcom test, at the cell 0 Awin window, at the Net console> prompt, type
“run test #” where # is the number of the test,
ie. Net Console>run test 9
if trying to run all the 10mps mode test at the once, type “run test” and follwed by all
the test number with a space in between:
ie. Net Console>run test 9 10 11 12 13 14
if trying to run a particular test several times, type “run test” and followed by the test
number with a space in between:
ie; Net Console>run test 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9

To run test 1-6, at cell 1(UUT1) Awin window, configure UUT1 as follow,
Switch#conf t
Switch(config)#int fa0/1
Switch(config-if)#speed 100
Switch(config-if)#duplex half
Switch(config-if)#end
Switch#

At cell 2, if testing a pair of WS-C2908-XLs, configure the UUT as follow;

Switch#conf t
Switch(config)#int fa0/8
Switch(config-if)#speed 100
Switch(config-if)#duplex half
Switch(config-if)#end
Switch#
At cell 2, if testing a pair of WS-C2916M-XL with WS-X2914-XL or with WS-X2922-
XL, configure UUT2 as follow,

Switch#conf t
Switch(config)#int fa0/16

Switch#
To run 100mps Mode test(test 1-6), refer to the procedure of running the 10mps Mode
test(test 9-14).

Due to the test strategy, the Catalyst 2900-XL System Functional Test failure can not
point to any physical location on the UUTs nor it could identify which UUT failed the
test since in order for the System Functional Test to pass, both UUTs have to be good.
