Troubleshooting Congestion
5.
Check whether BUS is connected.
•
Use
show busclient
to check whether devices are registered with the BUS. If clients are registered,
check end node configuration. If not registered, check MP signaling.
•
Use
set leselan
to turn off MP signaling on a per-ELAN basis.
-
Do devices begin to register with the LES and BUS once MP signaling is turned off?
•
Check IISP routes to the switch containing the LES and BUS.
-
Are all IISP routes correct?
-
Does a new IISP route need to be added so devices can reach the LES and BUS?

dropped at a high rate, it's possible that your switch is becoming congested. Congestion can occur on the port level,
the global switch level, or both levels.

5.3.2
Global Congestion
1.
Is the total cell drop rate equal to the Unknown VC cell drop rate?
•
If yes, the switch is improperly set up. Check the switch configuration.
•
If no, this indicates global congestion. Continue.
2.
Set the
porttrafficcongestion
values to those recommended in the "Class of Service Queue
Allocation Guidelines" section. Has the congestion subsided?
•
If yes, you are done.
•
If no, continue.
3.
Have you changed the EPD threshold?
•
If yes, replace it to the default setting. If congestion subsides, you are done.
•
If no, continue.
