View Layer 2 Tracetree Results

Note

Note

This procedure does not apply to XA1400 Series.

Use this procedure to view Layer 2 Tracetree results. The Layer 2 Tracetree command is a proprietary command that allows a user to trigger a multicast LTM message by specifying the B-VLAN and I-SID. This command allows the user to view a multicast tree on the SPBM B-VLAN from the source node to the destination nodes for a particular I-SID.

Note

Note

Troubleshooting using ping and traceroute is not supported on EDM. For more information, see VOSS Release Notes. As an alternative, use CLI.

Procedure

  1. In the navigation pane, expand Configuration > Serviceability > Diagnostics.

  5. Select Apply.
  6. Select Refresh to update the results.
