LOg [LAN |<connection> ] PAckets | TRaffic [CHannel = <channel>] [INbound | OUtbound]]

Syntax Description

none (Optional) Disables all logging.
calls (Optional) Logs call statistics. Each major call event is logged and a message is displayed every time a channel is assigned a connection.
message (Optional) Logs messages that are passed on the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) call control stack from the network layer up. Used primarily for troubleshooting the ISDN line.
states (Optional) Logs the call startup state and all messages received for CPP negotiation. Also displayed are the channel and connection to which the information applies. Used to troubleshoot any CPP negotiation problems.
errors (Optional) Logs error messages that otherwise are not displayed, including buffer allocation errors, mail delivery errors, and chip level errors.
IPX (Optional) Displays messages when Service Advertisement Protocol (SAP) entries get changed, interface characteristics are set or changed, or when erroneous Routing Information Protocol (RIP) information is received
time (Optional) Displays time and date of each logged event or message.
verbose (Optional) Modifies the action of the messages keyword by logging all layers of the ISDN call control stack and traffic by printing the entire packet.
lan (Optional) Enable logging for the LAN connection. Used with packets or traffic.
connection (Optional) Enables router logging for the connection specified. If no connection is entered, the router determines the connection from the current profile.
packets (Optional) Displays statistics on packet routing once per second. Number of packets filtered, forwarded, received, and the packet queve lengths are displayed.
traffic (Optional) Displays a one-character indicator of each packet sent on the connection or the whole packet when verbose is specified.
channel (Optional) This qualifier provides the channel number. This is used to log traffic on a channel before the channel is assigned to a connection. This is primarily used to diagnose PPP negotiation problems.
inbound/outbound (Optional) These qualifiers, when entered in conjunction with the Verbose parameter, restrict the packet content display to either incoming or outgoing packets.

Ready to upload new firmware into flash.  Select baud rate:

    1 -    300 baud
    2 -   1200 baud
    3 -   2400 baud
    4 -   4800 baud
    5 -   9600 baud
    6 -  19200 baud
    7 -  38400 baud
    8 -  57600 baud
    9 - 115200 baud

See Table 3-4 for approximate software load times according to baud rate.

Step 7 Change the baud rate of the terminal emulation software to the rate indicated in Table 3-4.

Step 8 From the terminal, load the file containing the new software by following the prompts from your terminal emulation program. The file is sent as an ASCII (Text) file to the router. The LINE LED should blink throughout the loading process.


Note Select ASCII on the terminal emulation software you are using.

Step 9 When the software has been downloaded, you will be prompted to change the terminal emulator's baud rate back to 9600, and then you will be prompted to press any key.

If the load is successful, the LINE LED will turn off, and the RDY LED should be on. If the load was not successful, refer to Table 3-5 for possible symptoms and solutions.

Table 3-4 : Approximate Software Load Time

Load Rate (Baud) Approximate Time (Minutes)
2400 48
9600 12
19200 6
38400 3
57600 2
115200 1

Table 3-5 : Software Load Command Troubleshooting

Symptom Probable Cause/Solution
Load takes significantly longer than the approximate time listed in Table 3-4. The terminal emulation program's interline and inter-character delays are not set to zero.
The terminal displays unrecognizable text after the load is completed. The terminal has not been reset to 9600 baud. Reset the terminal anytime after loading the new software. After changing the terminal baud rate, press Return to gain access to the standard prompt (>).
Two or more LEDs are blinking. Incorrect configuration of the PC's COM port or a defective console cable. Press Escape on the terminal and try the software load again.

The following are the steps performed before the software load tftp command is entered.

Before beginning this procedure, you should configure your workstation to operate as a TFTP server. In server mode, the workstation will only accept put requests for the file.

Step 1 Confirm that the new software and, optionally, the new configuration file are installed on the client machine.

Step 2 Confirm that the Cisco router can be reached from the client machine by pinging the router to the client's router:


Host> ping client's ip address

Caution Once the software load tftp command is entered, the existing software is erased. If a catastrophic event, such as a power failure, occurs before the transfer of the CODE file has been completed, the Cisco router must be initialized through the configuration port.

Step 3 Enter the software load command to configure the Cisco router for TFTP server mode:


Host> swl tftp
Are you sure? yes
Erasing Flash memory, please standby...
Ready for software load.


Note Entering the software load tftp command on the Cisco router causes it to enter TFTP server mode and wait for client requests. The TFTP server mode will timeout in one minute. If the transfer is successful, the Cisco router will reboot with the new software and the new configuration (if a new configuration file was loaded).


Note On the TFTP client machine, you must use binary file transfer mode to transfer the new software file. The remote file name must be set to CODE.


test

To generate test packets, use the test command.

TEst [<connection>] [WAn | ALl] [STop | REsult | ETher] RAte <pps> [MInpkts <bytes> MAxpkts <bytes>


Syntax Description

connection Number of the connections where test packets will be generated.
wan Generates test packets on the ISDN line. Packets should be sent to a remote router that has a loop enabled with the set loop command. Compare number of sent packets to number of received packets.
all Generates test packets on both the ISDN line and on the LAN.
stop (Optional) Stops all test packets from being generated.
result (Optional) Displays results of last completed test.
ether Generates test packets on the LAN and compares number of sent packets to the number of received packets.
rate (pps) (Optional) Rate in packets per second at which test packets are generated. Default value is 10. Can be between 1 and 100.
minpkts bytes (Optional) Minimum size (in bytes) of test packets. Default value is 60. Can be between 60 and 1514.
Packets are generated in incrementally larger sizes, starting with the minimum size and ending with the maximum size. After the maximum length is reached, the next packet is the minimum size.
maxpkts bytes (Optional) Maximum size in bytes of test packets. Default value is 1514. Can be between 60 and 1514.

Usage Guidelines

This command is useful for troubleshooting purposes.


Example

The following example enables a test on the ISDN line and the Ethernet with a minimum packet size of 255 bytes and a maximum packet size of 1024 bytes:

Host> test all min 255 max 1024


upload

To send a set of ASCII strings containing the current configuration to the terminal, use the upload command.

UPload


Syntax Description

This command has no keywords or arguments.


Default

None


Command Mode

System level


Usage Guidelines

You can use the captured file to reconfigure the router after loading new software or to configure multiple routers with the same parameters.

When downloading the file, set the ASCII download for 1 second so that each line will be correctly processed.


Note Use the set echo off command to prevent the upload command from being captured in the file.
