Managing the GGSN9811
About This Chapter

The local maintenance terminal (LMT) offers two ways to manage the GGSN9811, that is,
graphic user interface (GUI) and man-machine language (MML). You can perform the
maintenance operations such as querying the board information and resetting the board through
the GUI in a clear way. All the operation and maintenance commands can be executed through
the MML.

----End
5.2.5 Resetting the Board

This part describes how to reset the board. Resetting the board is a common measure of handling
the fault. Faults can be cleared by initializing the board.
Prerequisite
l
The local maintenance terminal (LMT) is started.
The user logs in to the GGSN9811 as an operator with the operation authority.
The master and slave boards are in position and work at normal level.
Context
CAUTION
When resetting the master SPU or master SRU, pay attention to the following:
l
If the slave board is in position and works at normal level, resetting the master board triggers
the handover of the master and slave boards. Then, the master board is reset. The slave
board serves as the master board, which enables that the users are online during board
resetting.
If the slave board is not in position or faulty, resetting the master board causes that all users
of the board are off-line. Therefore, be cautious to perform this operation.
Resetting the board interrupts the ongoing service. Therefore, reset the board when the
traffic is light (such as midnight).
Procedure
Issue 03 (2008-04-10)
1.
GGSN9811.
2.
Select a board to be reset. Right-click, and then choose Reset Board. The
Confirmation window is displayed. To reset the board, click Yes. Then, the system
returns the execution results. To cancel the resetting, click No.

Operation Guide
5.4.2 Using TRACERT

This part describes how to test the gateways passed through by the packet from the host to the
destination address. The TRACERT command is used to check whether the network connection
is normal and analyze where the fault occurs in the network.
5.4.1 Running PING

This part describes how to check the network connection by using PING.
Prerequisite
Context
The execution results include the following:
l
Reply at the peer end to each ping packet. If the local end does not receive the response
packet within a specified period, Request time out is displayed. If the local end
receives the response packet, the information displayed includes the number of the bytes,
packet serial No., time to live (TTL), and response time.
Comprehensive statistics information, including the number of transmitted packets, number

of received packets, percentage of packets without response, and minimum/maximum/
average duration of the responding time.
Procedure
Run PING to check whether the network is connected and whether the device is accessible.
----End
Example
The following describes how to check whether the device is accessible device. In this example,
the IP address of the device is 10.110.84.207. The printouts show that the peer end responds to
each packet in time, which indicates that the device is accessible.
PING: IP="10.110.84.207";
RETCODE = 0
Execution succeeded
PING 10.110.84.207: 56 data bytes, press CTRL_C to break

Operation Guide
5.4.2 Using TRACERT

This part describes how to test the gateways passed through by the packet from the host to the
destination address. The TRACERT command is used to check whether the network connection
is normal and analyze where the fault occurs in the network.
Prerequisite
Context
The TRACERT process is described as follows: The source first sends a packet with TTL as 1,
so hop 1 sends back an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) error message to specify that
the packet is not sent (TTL times out), and then the packet is resent with TTL as 2. Likewise,
hop 2 returns TTL timeout. This process continues until the packet reaches the destination. The
process is to record the source address of each ICMP TTL timeout message to provide the routes
that an IP packet adopts to reach to the destination.
The execution results include the following:
l
If the response packet is not received within a specified period, Executing command
timed out is displayed. If the response packet is received with a specified period, the
information displayed includes the serial No. of each hop, IP address, and response time.
If the packet cannot reach the next hop before the timeout (For example, the maximum
number of the hops is set), the serial No. of this hop and the character * are displayed.
Procedure
Run TRACERT to test the gateways through which the data packet passes from the host to the
destination address.
NOTE
It is recommended to enter the TTL value before using this command. This is to avoid timeout in the case
of unreachable network. If the timeout occurs, users cannot browse the required information.
----End
Example
This following describes how to check whether the device is accessible. In this example, the IP
address of the device is 10.70.12.40. The maximum number of hops is three. The printouts show
that the test cannot continue when the packet reaches the third hop.
TRACERT: MTTL=3, HOSTN="10.70.12.40";
RETCODE = 0 Execution succeeded
traceroute to 10.70.12.40(10.70.12.40) 3 hops max, 40 bytes packet
