Steps for documenting data loss problems
Determine the source of the data loss.
Before you begin
Procedure
Perform the following steps:
- Record the current packet count for the SNALINK LU6.2 devices in the network that support the LIST MODIFY command.
- Issue the PING command on one end of the connection. In a correctly functioning network, PING sends a data packet to the other end of the connection, which then sends a response data packet back to the PING command.
- Use the updated packet counts to determine how far the packet went.
- Issue the PING command from the other end of the connection.
- Use the updated packet counts to determine how far the packet got.
Results
Tip: IP packet trace, as described in Using IP packet trace, can also be used to trace and validate
the IP data packets as they enter and leave the SNALINK LU6.2 address
space.
