Chapter 3 TIBCO Messaging Appliance P-7500 Monitoring and Troubleshooting : Displaying IP Networking Status

Displaying IP Networking Status
In some instances the administrator may be experiencing problems with connectivity in the underlying TCP/IP network. This applies to setting up connections between the P-7500 system and clients, or establishing a Secure Shell (SSH) connection to the P-7500 system for the purpose of entering the CLI. If the latter is the case, the administrator must use the serial port located on the rear panel of the P-7500 system to enter the CLI to perform troubleshooting.
The first status check to perform is to determine the health of the Ethernet interface(s) which connect the P-7500 system to the rest of the network. To do this, run the show interface and show ip vrf msg-backbon User EXEC commands from the CLI.
For example:
 
tibco> show interface
Interface: 1/1/lag1
MAC address: 00:50:c2:44:b4:d0
Mode: Active-Backup
Enabled: yes
Rx pkts: 88916 Rx bytes: 5838515

Configured members: 1/1/1, 1/1/2
Available members: 1/1/1
Operational members: 1/1/1
Primary member: 1/1/1

Link detected: yes
Media type: 10G Base-SR
 
Interface: 1/1/2
MAC address: 00:50:c2:44:b4:d1
Enabled: yes
Rx pkts: 0 Rx bytes: 0
Tx pkts: 0 Tx bytes: 0
Link detected: no
Media type: 10G Base-SR

In the output, the administrator can verify that the IP address and mask of the P-7500 Management VRF interface (that is, eth1) and Message Backbone VRF interface (that is, lag 1 in this example) are as expected, and that the interface status is displayed as enabled and running. The statistics displayed can also be used to diagnose the health of the interface.
Displaying IP Route Information
Next, the administrator can run the show ip route User EXEC command to view all the IP route information in the global IP routing table on the P-7500 system.
For example:
tibco> show ip route
 
VRF: management
 
Destination Gateway Network Mask Interface
---------------------------------------------------------
default 192.168.128.1 0.0.0.0 eth1:1
 
 
VRF: msg-backbone
 
Global Route:
 
Destination Gateway Network Mask Interface
---------------------------------------------------------
default 192.168.160.1 0.0.0.0 1/1/lag1:1
 
Per Interface Default Route:
 
Phy-Interface Gateway Interface
-----------------------------------------
 
In the output, the administrator can verify that the configured IP routes on the P-7500 system are as expected.
Testing Connectivity
The administrator can then enter the ping User EXEC command to troubleshoot and trace network connectivity.
For example, to test connectivity through the P-7500 Management VRF interface, that is, eth1:
tibco> ping 192.168.128.1
PING 192.168.128.1 (192.168.128.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

For example, to test connectivity through the Message-Backbone VRF interface on the Network Acceleration Blade (NAB) VRF interface, that is, lag1:
tibco> ping msg-backbone:192.168.160.1
PING 192.168.160.1 56(84) bytes of data.
