Carrier Ethernet Devices by RAD (ETX-203AX, ETX-203AM, ETX-203AX-T, ETX-205A, ETX-220A) are quite popular with telco companies around the world for connecting end clients to the backbone at layer 2. And while reference documentation is available, I couldn’t find the debug/information commands digest on the Internet at all. This post, I hope, comes to fill the gap.
The commands below are meant to be run on the device CLI itself, not on provisioning system of some kind (e.g RADvision). I show examples of using them below as well.
Cheat sheet of debug commands
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
show configure port summary |
Show port summary: state (up/down), speed |
show config port name status |
Show port status: administrative and operational states, speed/duplex, connector type, MAC address, and most important (for fiber) - RX/TX signal power (dBm) |
show config port name statistics |
Statistics of the port: total bits/frames passed,maximum/minimum bits/sec seen, and most interesting - CRC errors, error frames, oversize frames, discards. |
config port ethernet number clear-statistics |
Clear all statistics/counters for this port. |
config flow flow flow-name show statistics running |
Show detailed counters for the given flow, will include |
config port name rate-measure interval seconds show rate |
Show port utilization in bits/sec in real-time |
Responder: config flow service-ping-response local-ip 13.13.13.2/30 next-hop 13.13.13.1 egress-port ethernet 4/2 vlan 777 Ping sender: config flow service-ping local-ip 13.13.13.1/30 dst-ip 13.13.13.2 next-hop 13.13.13.2 egress-port ethernet 4/1 vlan 777 number-of-packets 10 payload-size 1450 |
Send ping over the client vlan (here 777) from ETX to ETX to measure latency and packet loss. You configure one ETX as responder and another one as sender. |
show configure flows summary brief |
List all flows configured on this ETX briefly |
show configure flows summary details |
List all flows configured on this ETX with details |
config flow name mac-learning show mac-table no mac-learning |
Enable MAC address learning inside a flow and show the MAC table. The flow
should be the one where
those MAC addresses are supposed to be learned, and in the appropriate
direction. E.g. if the equipment of the end client is connected to ETX port
|
show config system system-date |
Show system time of the appliance, important for logs/alarms correlation. |
show config reporting brief-alarm-log |
Show alarms log, their severity/state/last raised time |
exit all |
Exit all sub-configuration modes to the top level. |
show file startup |
Show startup configuration. |
save |
Save the configuration. |
