Troubleshoting packet flow on 6500 and unicast routing


Toubleshooting flow chart to use during unicast troubleshooting.


                            Start
                                |
                               V 
   
 Route programming in software and hardware

  Show ip route  (In software)
  Show mls cef exact route (In hardware)
                                |
                               V

 ARP programming in software and hardware

 Show ip arp (In software for next hop -address given in show ip route)
 Show mls cef adjacency (In hardware for next-hop address given in show ip route)
                                |
                               V

Mac programming in software and hardware

Show mac-address address <>  (mac address given in show ip arp for next-hop address )

remote command switch Show mac-address address <>  (mac address given in show ip arp for next-hop address )
                                |    
                               V
  
Spanning tree programming in software and hardware

Show spanning-tree  vlan <> (In software)
remote command switch show table (In hardware)

                                |    
                               V

Default acl programming in hardware

Show tcam interface gigabitEthernet <> acl in ip detail all1
                                |    
                               V

 LTL (interface) programming in hardware
                                |    
                               V

 Error counters on the interfaces involved

 Show interface gigbitethernet <> counters (In software)
 Show interface gigbitethernet <> counters error (In software)
 Show counters interface gigabitethernet <> (In software)

                                |    
                               V


Error register dump of the ASIC's involved in the path from CPU to interface
                                |    
                               V


Packet captures (ELAM)
                                |      
                               V
                             End
