Troubleshooting Group Mobility

OmniSwitch Troubleshooting Guide

Note. Dshell commands should only be used by Alcatel personnel or under the direction of Alcatel. 
Misuse or failure to follow procedures that use Dshell commands in this guide correctly can cause lengthy 
network down time and/or permanent damage to hardware.

Use the gmnSetPrintDestination command from the NiDebug Dshell command to redirect the output of 
the group mobility commands to the current session.

All NIs should have a copy of all rules configured on the switch, regardless if that NI has used the rule yet. 
To verify that the rules have been loaded on the NI use the gmnShowRules command from the NiDebug 
Dshell command. Use the same rule index from above, i.e. 0 = IP net address rule.

6:0 net = 3c3c3c00  mask = ffffff00  vid = 60
6:0 value = 0 = 0x0

To verify that the NI sees a port as mobile use the gmnIsPortMobile (port number (zero based)) 
command from the NiDebug Dshell command. (Please note that 1= mobile and 0=non-mobile.)

This gmnClassifyDebug command displays group mobility classification process on the NI as the pack-
ets are received. This has to be issued in conjunction with the gmnPrintDestination command to see the 
output on the console. This command is issued on the NiDebug prompt for the NI we want to debug.
