Information
The system reboots when the off-line diagnostics complete. This is an automatic process. A warning 
message appears when the offline stack-unit command is implemented. 
Warning - Diagnostic execution will cause stack-unit to reboot after 
completion of diags.
Proceed with Offline-Diags [confirm yes/no]:y
level0 Enter the keyword level0 to run Level 0 diagnostics. Level 0 diagnostics check for the 
presence of various components and perform essential path verifications. In addition, they 
verify the identification registers of the components on the board.
level1 Enter the keyword Level1 to run Level 1 diagnostics. Level 1 diagnostics is a smaller set of 
diagnostic tests with support for automatic partitioning. They perform status/self test for all 
the components on the board and test their registers for appropriate values. In addition, they 
perform extensive tests on memory devices (e.g., SDRAM, flash, NVRAM, EEPROM, and 
CPLD) wherever possible. There are no tests on 10G links. At this level, stack ports are shut 
down automatically.
level2 Enter the keyword level2 to run Level 2 diagnostics. Level 2 diagnostics is a full set of 
diagnostic tests with no support for automatic partitioning. Level 2 diagnostics are used 
primarily for on-board loopback tests and more extensive component diagnostics. Various 
components on the board are put into loop back mode, and test packets are transmitted 
through those components. These diagnostics also perform snake tests using VLAN 
configurations. You must physically remove the unit from the stack to test 10G links.
verbose Enter the keyword verbose to run the diagnostic in verbose mode. Verbose mode gives more 
information in the output than standard mode.
no-reboot Enter the keyword no-reboot to avoid automatic rebooting of the chassis after completion of 
diagnostic execution. Generally, this option is never used because if you run the diagnostic 
once again without rebooting the chassis, it may cause an issue with the diagnostic results.
