Chapter 11 Troubleshooting VSANs, Domains, and FSPF
FSPF Issues
Step 2 Repeat Step 1 to determine the value of the retransmit interval on the adjacent switch.
switch2# show fspf v 1 interface fc2/16
FSPF interface fc2/16 in VSAN 1
FSPF routing administrative state is active
Interface cost is 500
Timer intervals configured, Hello 20 s, Dead 80 s, Retransmit 5 s <-----1
FSPF State is INIT <-----2
Statistics counters :
Number of packets received : LSU 0 LSA 0 Hello 2 Error packets 1
Number of packets transmitted : LSU 0 LSA 0 Hello 4 Retransmitted LSU 0
Number of times inactivity timer expired for the interface = 0
1. The neighbor retransmit interval interval is set to the default (5 seconds).
2. FSPF is not in FULL state, indicating a problem.
Step 3 Use the interface command and then the fspf retransmit-interval command in interface mode to
change the retransmit interval.
Resolving a Mismatch in Dead Intervals on an ISL Using Fabric Manager
To resolve a mismatch of dead intervals on an ISL using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:
Step 1 Choose FC > Advanced > FSPF and select the Interfaces tab to verify that the FSPF parameters are
correct for each interface and check the Dead interval column and the State column.
• The Intervals column shows the configured FSPF timers for this interface, which must match on both
sides.
• The State column shows the full or adjacent state if the interface has sent and received all database
exchanges and required Acks. The port is now ready to route frames.
Step 2 Repeat Step 1 to determine the value of the dead interval on the adjacent switch.
Step 3 Fill in the Dead field to change the dead interval and click Apply.
Resolving a Mismatch in Dead Intervals on an ISL Using the CLI
To identify a mismatch in dead intervals on an ISL, follow these steps:
Step 1 Use the debug fspf all command and look for wrong dead interval messages.
switch1# debug fspf all
Jan 5 00:28:14 fspf: Wrong dead interval for packet on interface 100f000 in VSAN 1
Jan 5 00:28:14 fspf: Error in processing hello packet , error code = 4
Tip We recommend that you open a second Telnet or SSH session before entering any debug
commands. If the debug output overwhelms the current session, you can use the second session
to enter the undebug all command to stop the debug message output.
Step 2 Use the undebug all command to turn off debugging.
