 | |
| Appendix A - Troubleshooting
 | |
| ============================
 | |
| 
 | |
| Sometimes things break or don't work as expected. This section describes
 | |
| several troubleshooting tools provided by VyOS that can help when something
 | |
| goes wrong.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Basic Connectivity Verification
 | |
| -------------------------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| Verifying connectivity can be done with the familiar `ping` and `traceroute`
 | |
| commands. The options for each are shown (the options for each command were
 | |
| displayed using the built-in help as described in the `Command-Line Interface`_
 | |
| section and are omitted from the output here):
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code-block:: sh
 | |
| 
 | |
|   vyos@vyos:~$ ping
 | |
|   Possible completions:
 | |
|     <hostname>    Send Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request
 | |
|     <x.x.x.x>
 | |
|     <h:h:h:h:h:h:h:h>
 | |
| 
 | |
| Several options are available when more extensive troubleshooting is needed:
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code-block:: sh
 | |
| 
 | |
|   vyos@vyos:~$ ping 8.8.8.8
 | |
|   Possible completions:
 | |
|     <Enter>       Execute the current command
 | |
|     adaptive      Ping options
 | |
|     allow-broadcast
 | |
|     audible
 | |
|     bypass-route
 | |
|     count
 | |
|     deadline
 | |
|     flood
 | |
|     interface
 | |
|     interval
 | |
|     mark
 | |
|     no-loopback
 | |
|     numeric
 | |
|     pattern
 | |
|     quiet
 | |
|     record-route
 | |
|     size
 | |
|     timestamp
 | |
|     tos
 | |
|     ttl
 | |
|     verbose
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code-block:: sh
 | |
| 
 | |
|   vyos@vyos:~$ traceroute
 | |
|   Possible completions:
 | |
|     <hostname>    Track network path to specified node
 | |
|     <x.x.x.x>
 | |
|     <h:h:h:h:h:h:h:h>
 | |
|     ipv4          Track network path to <hostname|IPv4 address>
 | |
|     ipv6          Track network path to <hostname|IPv6 address>
 | |
| 
 | |
| However, another tool, mtr_, is available which combines ping and traceroute
 | |
| into a single tool. An example of its output is shown:
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code-block:: sh
 | |
| 
 | |
|   vyos@vyos:~$ mtr 10.62.212.12
 | |
| 
 | |
|                              My traceroute  [v0.85]

 | |
| 
 | |
| .. note:: The output of ``mtr`` consumes the screen and will replace your
 | |
|    command prompt.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Several options are available for changing the display output. Press `h` to
 | |
| invoke the built in help system. To quit, just press `q` and you'll be returned
 | |
| to the VyOS command prompt.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Monitoring Network Interfaces
 | |
| -----------------------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| It's possible to monitor network traffic, either at the flow level or protocol
 | |
| level. This can be useful when troubleshooting a variety of protocols and
 | |
| configurations. The following interface types can be monitored:
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code-block:: sh
 | |
| 
 | |
|   vyos@vyos:~$ monitor interfaces
 | |
|   Possible completions:
 | |
|     <Enter>       Execute the current command
 | |
|     bonding       Monitor a bonding interface
 | |
|     bridge        Monitor a bridge interface
 | |
|     ethernet      Monitor a ethernet interface
 | |
|     loopback      Monitor a loopback interface
 | |
|     openvpn       Monitor an openvpn interface
 | |
|     pppoe         Monitor pppoe interface
 | |
|     pseudo-ethernet
 | |
|                   Monitor a pseudo-ethernet interface
 | |
|     tunnel        Monitor a tunnel interface
 | |
|     vrrp          Monitor a vrrp interface
 | |
|     vti           Monitor a vti interface
 | |
|     wireless      Monitor wireless interface
 | |
| 
 | |
| To monitor traffic flows, issue the :code:`monitor interfaces <type> <name> flow`
 | |
| command, replacing `<type>` and `<name>` with your desired interface type and
 | |
| name, respectively. Output looks like the following:
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code-block:: sh

 | |
| Several options are available for changing the display output. Press `h` to
 | |
| invoke the built in help system. To quit, just press `q` and you'll be returned
 | |
| to the VyOS command prompt.
 | |
| 
 | |
| To monitor interface traffic, issue the :code:`monitor interfaces <type> <name>
 | |
| traffic` command, replacing `<type>` and `<name>` with your desired interface
 | |
| type and name, respectively. This command invokes the familiar tshark_ utility
 | |
| and the following options are available:
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code-block:: sh
 | |
| 
 | |
|   vyos@vyos:~$ monitor interfaces ethernet eth0 traffic
 | |
|   Possible completions:
 | |
|     <Enter>       Execute the current command
 | |
|     detail        Monitor detailed traffic for the specified ethernet interface
 | |
|     filter        Monitor filtered traffic for the specified ethernet interface
 | |
|     save          Save monitored traffic to a file
 | |
|     unlimited     Monitor traffic for the specified ethernet interface
 | |
| 
 | |
| To quit monitoring, press `Ctrl-c` and you'll be returned to the VyOS command
 | |
| prompt. The `detail` keyword provides verbose output of the traffic seen on
 | |
| the monitored interface. The `filter` keyword accepts valid `PCAP filter
 | |
| expressions`_, enclosed in single or double quotes (e.g. "port 25" or "port 161
 | |
| and udp"). The `save` keyword allows you to save the traffic dump to a file.
 | |
| The `unlimited` keyword is used to specify that an unlimited number of packets
 | |
| can be captured (by default, 1,000 packets are captured and you're returned to
 | |
| the VyOS command prompt).
