DETAILED STEPS
Command or Action Purpose
Step 1
show interfaces
interface name
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# show interface POS0/5/0/0
Displays the packet count in the ingress and egress
interfaces before and after the transmission of packets.
If the packets are dropped either in ingress or egress
interface, then stop here and contact the Cisco Technical
Support team for troubleshooting the plim interfaces.
Step 2
show controller <ingressq|egressq> qmstats 0
location
location-id
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# show controller ingressq
qmstats 0 location 0/12/cpu0
Checks the statistics in buffer management ASIC (BMA) at
both ingress and egress line cards before and after
transmission.
If you see any drop count incrementing other than soft drop,
then contact the Cisco Technical Support team for
resolution. If there is no increment in the drop count or only
the soft drop is incrementing, continue with the further
steps.
Step 3
show controller pse <ingress|egress> statistics
location
location-id
Example:
RP/0/9/CPU0:router#show controller pse ingress
statistics loc 0/5/cpu0 | inc drop
RP/0/9/CPU0:EE10-1#show controller pse ingress
statistics loc 0/5/cpu0 | inc mtu
Displays the packets that are dropped at the packet
switching engine (PSE), the drop count, and maximum
transmission unit (mtu) count.
Ensure that the show command is executed multiple times
in order to check if the count is actually incrementing. To
check if the route has been removed and re-installed, you
must identify the traffic stream or prefix which experienced
the drop first.
Step 4
show captured packets [ingress|egress] location
node_id
Displays the packets which are dropped by the PSEs on the
line card. The next step is to find out what packets get
dropped. The debug command displays the L2 and L3
information of packets which are dropped by the PSE
microcode. When the captured packet is an MPLS packet,
you must look for the label of the packet. The label will be
used as the key to verify the forward chain. When the
captured packet is an IPv4 or IPv6 packet, you must look for
the destination address of the packet. The address is used as
the key to verify the forward chain of the prefix.
Step 5
show route <prefix> det
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# show route 20.20.1.2
Checks the routing table and the timestamp provides you
information about when the route was installed.
