Some Useful Tips and Commands to Help Identify Problems During the CCIE Lab


When taking your CCIE Lab Exam, time matters. Consider the following steps and advice during your lab exam:

Step 1.

Read the entire exam before beginning.

Step 2.

Begin with simple or basic questions (basic Layer 2 setup, basic routing protocols and BGP setup, and so on).

Step 3.

Leave the more complex questions or features for laterkeep the layered approach.

Step 4.

Pay attention when configuring maps, network statements, IP addresses, and so on. Typos are the most common cause of problems found during the lab exam.

Step 5.

Verify each question to ensure it is working before moving on to other questions. This will assure you that you can move on without any problem left behind. If everything was working and after you have configured a new section or question you notice a failure on your exam, you will know exactly what is the cause of the failure.

Step 6.

Keep saving your configurations before moving on to another question. If all else fails, you can always reload a device and work on something else while it comes back up in a known state.

These approaches will help you keep your work under strict control.

The sections that follow list and demonstrate some useful commands to help troubleshoot some of the areas covered in Practice Labs 16.

Frame Relay

Troubleshooting commands for Frame Relay configuration include the following:

  • show interfaces serial

  • show frame-relay map

  • show frame-relay lmi

  • show frame-relay pvc

  • clear frame-relay inarp

  • clear interface

  • debug serial interface

  • debug frame-relay lmi

  • debug frame-delay events

  • debug frame-relay packets

Example C-1 provides commented output from these key commands.

Example C-4 provides commented output from these key commands.

Example C-4. Some OSPF Troubleshooting Commands
 R2#show ip ospf ! This command shows key information that will help in troubleshooting. ! Look at the "router process" and "router ID", the OSPF areas !

BGP

Troubleshooting commands for BGP configuration include the following:

  • show ip bgp

  • show ip bgp summary

  • show ip route bgp

  • show ip bgp neighbors

  • show ip bgp neighbors neighbor-ip-address

  • debug ip bgp

Example C-8 provides commented output from these key commands.

Example C-8. Some BGP Troubleshooting Commands
 R6#show ip bgp ! This command displays the entries in the BGP routing table. ! It is important to observe the BGP table version, that is incremented ! whenever the table changes and the router ID. The status code is important ! also because identify how the route will be treated. For example the "*" ! indicates a valid path and ">" indicates that the entry is the best entry to ! use for that network and indicates that the network will be installed on the ! IP table. The "Next Hop" is the next system used when forwarding a packet ! to the destination network. The "Path" is the Autonomous system paths ! to the destination network.

ISDN

Troubleshooting commands for ISDN configuration include the following:

  • show interfaces bri number

  • show interfaces bri number 1 2

  • show isdn status

  • show dialer interface bri number

  • show ppp multilink

  • debug isdn q931

  • debug ppp negotiation

  • debug ppp authentication

  • debug dialer

Example C-9 provides commented output from these key commands.

DLSw

Troubleshooting commands for DLSw configuration include the following:

  • show dlsw peers

  • show capabilities

  • debug dlsw peers

Example C-10 provides commented output from these key commands.
