Configuration Roadmap
The configuration roadmap is as follows:
1.
Run the
ping
command on Switch A to check the connectivity between Switch A and the
log host.
2.
Run the
tracert
command to locate the fault after you find that the link is faulty.
Data Preparation
To complete the configuration, you need the following data:
l
IP addresses of the interfaces on Switch B (In this example, IP addresses of the interfaces
are 1.1.1.2/8 and 2.1.1.1/8.)
l
IP addresses of the interfaces on Router (In this example, IP addresses of the interfaces are
2.1.1.2/8 and 3.1.1.1/8.)
l
IP address of the log host (In this example, the IP address of the log host is 3.1.1.2/8.)
Procedure
Step 1
Run the
ping
command.
# Run the

command on Switch A to check the connectivity between Switch A and the log
host.

The display on Switch A shows that the log host is unreachable, which indicates that a fault
occurs on some link segment between Switch A and the log host.
Step 2
Run the
tracert
command.
# Run the
tracert
command on Switch A to locate which link segment fails.

The preceding display shows that the ICMP Echo Request message passes Switch B but does
not reach Router. It indicates that the link between Switch B and Router fails. After the link
