Running a Network Connectivity Test

You can run a network connectivity test to initiate a connection between the Cisco UMG device and all the systems that are configured on the system, including the secondary Cisco UMG, the central call agent, central voicemail servers, Cisco Unified SRST sites, and SRSV-CUE devices.

The test may take several minutes to complete, during which time the status page will refresh automatically. You can either wait for the test to complete or go to other pages and later return to this page to see the test results.

Procedure


Step 1 Select Troubleshoot > Network Connectivity.

The system displays the Network Connectivity Test page.

Step 2 To start a network connectivity test, click Start Network Connectivity Test.

When the test is complete, the system displays a message stating that the test is complete and shows the results. See Viewing Results from a Network Connectivity Test. If the connectivity test fails, the system displays a brief indication of the cause of the failure. You can find additional failure diagnostic information in the trace buffer or message log.

Step 3 To cancel the network connectivity test that is currently running, click Cancel Network Connectivity Test.

Step 4 To see the results of previous network connectivity tests, click Click here for results of previously run test. The system displays the results. See Viewing Results from a Network Connectivity Test.


Note Results of previous tests are only available for the current login session.


Step 5 To restart a previous network connectivity test, click Restart Network Connectivity Test.


Viewing Results from a Network Connectivity Test

After you run a network connectivity test (see Running a Network Connectivity Test), the system displays the results.

Configuring Trace Settings

Use this procedure to enable traces, or debug message output, for components in the Cisco Unified SRSV system. Components are modules, entities, and activities in the system. You can review the output by selecting Troubleshoot > View > Trace Buffer. See Viewing a Trace Buffer.

Restriction

Enabling too many traces can adversely affect the system performance.

Procedure


Step 1 Select Troubleshoot > Traces.

The system displays the Traces page, with a hierarchical listing of the system components.

Step 2 To enable a trace on a system component, check the check box next to the name of the component.

Step 3 To expand the listing of components, click the + sign next to the upper-level components.

Step 4 Check the check box next to an upper-level component (a module or entity) to enable the traces for all of the components under that component. Uncheck the check box next to an upper-level component to disable the traces for all of the components under that component.

Step 5 Click Apply to save your changes.

Step 6 Click OK in the confirmation window.
