Using Troubleshooting Tools

This chapter describes the troubleshooting tools that are available for the Cisco Virtual Security Gateway (VSG).

This chapter includes the following sections:

Commands

Use the CLI from a local console or remotely use the CLI through a Telnet or Secure Shell (SSH) session. The CLI provides a command structure that is similar to the Cisco NX-OS software, with context-sensitive help, show commands, multi-user support, and role-based access control.

Each feature has show commands that provide information about the feature configuration, status, and performance. Additionally, you can use the following commands for more information:

  • show system Provides information on system-level components, including codes, errors, and exceptions. Use the show system error-id command to find details on error codes:
vsg# show system error-id 0x401e0008
Error Facility: sysmgr
Error Description: request was aborted, standby disk may be full

Ping

The ping utility generates a series of echo packets to a destination across a TCP/IP internetwork. When the echo packets arrive at the destination, they are rerouted and sent back to the source. Using ping, you can verify connectivity and latency to a particular destination across an IP routed network.

Ping allows you to ping a port or end device. By specifying the IPv4 address, you can send a series of frames to a target destination. When these frames reach the target, they are looped back to the source and a time stamp is taken. Ping helps you to verify the connectivity and latency to a destination.

Traceroute

Use traceroute to do the following tasks:

  • Trace the route followed by the data traffic.
  • Compute inter-switch (hop-to-hop) latency.

The traceroute command identifies the path taken on a hop-by-hop basis and includes a time stamp at each hop in both directions. This command tests the connectivity of ports along the path between the generating switch and the switch closest to the destination.

If the destination cannot be reached, the path discovery starts, which traces the path up to the point of failure.

Monitoring Processes and CPUs

You can monitor and the CPU status and usage.

This section includes the following topics:

Identifying the Running Processes and Their States

The show processes command identifies the running processes and the status of each process as follows:

  • PID—Process ID.
  • State—Process state.
  • PC—Current program counter in hex format.
  • Start_cnt—How many times a process has been started (or restarted).
  • TTY—Terminal that controls the process. A dash (-) usually means a daemon that is not running on any particular TTY.
  • Process—Name of the process.

Process states are as follows:

  • D—Uninterruptible sleep (usually I/O).
  • R—Runnable (on run queue).
  • S—Sleeping.
  • T—Traced or stopped.
  • Z—Defunct zombie process.
  • NR—Not-running.
  • ER—Should be running but is currently not running. The ER state typically designates a process that has been restarted too many times, which causes the system to classify it as faulty and disable it.

This example shows how to identify the available options for the show processes command:

vsg# show processes ?
<CR>
> Redirect it to a file
>> Redirect it to a file in append mode
cpu Show processes CPU Info
log Show information about process logs
memory Show processes Memory Info
vdc Show processes in vdc
| Pipe command output to filter
vsg#

Displaying CPU Usage

You can use the show processes cpu command to display CPU usage. The command output includes the following information:

  • Runtime(ms)—CPU time that the process has used, expressed in milliseconds
  • Invoked—Number of times that the process has been invoked
  • uSecs—Microseconds of CPU time as an average for each process invocation
  • 1Sec—CPU usage as a percentage for the last one second

This example shows how to display all of the CPU processes:

vsg# show processes cpu

Displaying CPU and Memory Information

You can use the show system resources command to display system-related CPU and memory statistics as follows:

  • The load is defined as the number of running processes. The average reflects the system load over the past 1, 5, and 15 minutes.
  • Processes display the number of processes in the system and how many processes are running when the command is issued.
  • The CPU states show the CPU usage percentage in the user mode, kernel mode, and idle time in the last one second.
  • The memory usage provides the total memory, used memory, free memory, memory used for buffers, and memory used for the cache in kilobytes. Buffers and cache are also included in the used memory statistics.

This example shows how to display how to display the results of available system resources:

vsg# show system resources
Load average: 1 minute: 0.00 5 minutes: 0.00 15 minutes: 0.02
Processes : 321 total, 1 running
CPU states : 0.0% user, 0.0% kernel, 100.0% idle
Memory usage: 1944668K total, 1114044K used, 830624K free
62340K buffers, 479040K cache
vsg#

Syslog

The system message logging software saves messages in a log file or directs messages to other devices. This feature provides the following capabilities:

  • Logging information for monitoring and troubleshooting.
  • Selecting the types of logging information for capture.
  • Selecting the destination of the captured logging information.

A syslog can store a chronological log of system messages locally or send the messages to a central syslog server. Syslog messages can also be sent to the console for immediate use. These messages can vary in detail depending on the configuration.

Syslog messages are categorized into seven severity levels from debug to critical events. Severity levels that are reported can be limited for specific services within the switch.

Log messages are not saved across system reboots. However, a maximum of 100 log messages with a severity level of critical and below (levels 0, 1, and 2) can logged and saved to a local file or server.

This section includes the following topics:

Logging Levels

The Cisco VSG supports the following logging levels:

  • 0—Emergency
  • 1—Alert
  • 2—Critical
  • 3—Error
  • 4—Warning
  • 5—Notification
  • 6—Informational
  • 7—Debugging

By default, the switch logs normal but significant system messages to a log file and sends these messages to the system console. Users can specify which system messages are saved, based on the type of facility and the severity level. Messages are time stamped to enhance real-time debugging and management.

Enabling Logging for Telnet or SSH

System logging messages are sent to the console based on the default or configured logging facility and severity values.

Users can disable logging to the console or enable logging to a given Telnet or Secure Shell (SSH) session.

  • To disable console logging, use the no logging console command in interface configuration mode.
  • To enable logging for Telnet or SSH, use the terminal monitor command in EXEC mode.

Note When logging to a console session is disabled or enabled, that state is applied to all future console sessions. If you exit and log in again to a new session, the state is preserved. When logging to a Telnet or SSH session that is enabled or disabled, that state applies only to that session. The state is not preserved after you exit the session.


The no logging console command is enabled by default. Use this command to disable console logging.

The terminal monitor command is disabled by default. Use this command to enable logging for Telnet or SSH.

For more information about configuring syslog, see the Cisco Virtual Network Management Center GUI Configuration Guide.

CLI Configuration

This section includes the following topics:

Event Log

This section describes event logs.

This section includes the following topics:

Event Log Configuration Format

The configuration is displayed using this format:

[no] event-log inspect {{error | info} | {{ftp {error | info | warn | pkt_trace}} | {rsh {error | info | pkt_trace}} | {tftp {error | info }}}} [terminal]

You can configure event logs for either the inspection process or one of its modules. For example, you can use the event-log inspect error terminal command to enable error events for the inspection process and to display these messages on the terminal where the command was entered.

Viewing the Event Log Configuration

You can display the event log configuration by using the show event-log all command. This example shows how to display the event logs for all the processes and their modules:

vsg# show event-log all
event-log inspect tftp error
event-log inspect rsh error
event-log inspect ftp error terminal
event-log policy_engine attr-mgr error
event-log service-path sp pkt-error terminal
vsg#W

Viewing Event Logs

Event logs are always logged in a process that is specific to the message buffer. Process logging in the event log buffer does not incur any overhead. In addition to using the show event-log command, you can display messages on a terminal where the event logs are enabled by using the terminal option, which is useful for reproducing a certain behavior.

The show command shows all the processes that are integrated with the event log Cisco VSG infrastructure. You can display inspection event logs using the show system internal event-log inspect command. The Cisco VSG event log infrastructure is a layer on top of the Cisco NX-OS event log infrastructure. Event logs can be redirected to a file and exported.

To display event logs on the terminal, use the terminal option while configuring the event. Different terminals can view different event logs. For example, use the event-log inspect ftp info terminal command to enable the information event logs for the inspection FTP module and to display the logs on the terminal. Use the event-log inspect rsh error terminal command to display only the error logs that are related to the RSH module. This command helps to debug various modules at the same time.

Event Log Configuration Persistence

You can save the event log configuration by using the event-log save config command. This command allows you to save all of the currently enabled event logs in a file. This file is read at the time of the module/process initialization with the event log infrastructure. The event log configuration that is relevant to the process is reapplied during initialization, which makes the event log configuration persistent across the process/system reboot. Some important things about the event log configuration are as follows:

  • Terminal information is not reapplied for process or system restarts because that information might not be applicable.
  • The event log configuration is independent of the other Cisco NX-OS configurations. The copy running-config startup-config and show running-config commands do not save and display the event log configuration.
  • The event log configuration is specific to the individual system. In a high-availability setup, the configuration must be set up on both systems.

Configuration and Restrictions

Event logs CLIs for the Cisco VSG are classified based on the process and its modules. This section descrubes event log commands.

This section includes the following topics:

VNS Agent

Virtual Network Service (VNS) agent-related event logs are maintained on the Virtual Supervisor Module (VSM), not on the Cisco VSG.

This section includes the following topics:

Core Module

Core events are those events that are related to port attach, port detach, Internet Protocol Database (IPDB), and to port-profile CLI.

This example shows how to enable/disable error messages for the vns_agent core module:

vsm# event-log vns-agent core-error [terminal] ----->enable messages to the terminal
vsm# no event-log vns-agent core-error [terminal] ----->disable messages to the terminal

This example shows how to enable/disable informational messages for the vns_agent core module:

vsm# event-log vns-agent core-info [terminal] ----->enable messages to the terminal
vsm# no event-log vns-agent core-info [terminal] ----->disable messages to the terminal

VPath Module

Because the VPath module works based on core-module events, you should always enable core module event logs before you enable the VPath module events.

This example shows how to enable/disable error messages for the vns_agent VPath module:

vsm# event-log vns-agent vpath-error [terminal] ----->enable messages to the terminal
vsm# no event-log vns-agent vpath-error [terminal] ----->disable messages to the terminal

This example shows how to enable/disable informational messages for the vns_agent VPath module:

vsm# event-log vns-agent vpath-info [terminal] ----->enable messages to the terminal
vsm# no event-log vns-agent vpath-info [terminal] ----->disable messages to the terminal

License Module

Because the license module works based on core-module events, you should always enable the core module event logs before enabling the license module.

This example shows how to enable/disable error messages for the vns_agent license module:

vsm# event-log vns-agent license-error [terminal] ----->enable messages to the terminal
vsm# no event-log vns-agent license-error [terminal] ----->disable messages to the terminal

This example shows how to enable/disable informational messages for the vns_agent license module:

vsm# event-log vns-agent license-info [terminal] ----->enable messages to the terminal
vsm# no event-log vns-agent license-info [terminal] ----->disable messages to the terminal

Inspection Process

The inspection process uses event log commands for the inspection process and the File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Remote Shell (RSH), and Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) modules. These processes are all available on the Cisco VSG.

Use the event-log inspect error command to display configuration errors, process initialization errors, and so forth. This example shows how to enable/disable error messages for the inspection process:

vsg# event-log inspect error [terminal] ----->enable messages to the terminal
vsg# no event-log inspect error [terminal] ----->disable messages to the terminal

This example shows how to enable/disable informational messages for the inspection process:

vsg# event-log inspect info [terminal] ----->enable messages to the terminal
vsg# no event-log inspect info [terminal] ----->disable messages to the terminal

Use the event-log inspect ftp error command to display FTP packet processing errors. This example shows how to enable/disable error messages for the inspection FTP module:

vsg# event-log inspect ftp error [terminal] ----->enable messages to the terminal
vsg# no event-log inspect ftp error [terminal] ----->disable messages to the terminal

Restrictions

The event log configuration has the following restrictions:

  • Terminal information is not reapplied in case of process restart/system restart bacause it may or may not be applicable.
  • Event log configuration is independent of the other Cisco NX-OS configurations. The Cisco NX-OS copy running-config startup-config and show running-config commands do not save and display event log configuration.
  • Event log configuration is specific to the individual system. In the high availability (HA) setup, this configuration must be done on both of the systems.

Show Commands

 

This section includes the following topics:

VSM Show Commands

This section includes the following topics:

show vnm-pa status

You can display the VNM policy agent status by entering the show vnm-pa status command.

This example shows how to display the VNM policy agent installation status:

vsm2# show vnm-pa status
VNM Policy-Agent status is - Installed Successfully. Version 1.0(1j)-vsm
vsm2#

show vsn brief

You can display a consolidated view of all VSNs in use by using the show vsn brief command.

This example shows how to display all VSNs in use:

vsm2# show vsn brief
VLAN IP-ADDR MAC-ADDR FAIL-MODE STATE MODULE
78 10.0.0.1 00:50:56:9c:04:28 Close Up 3
vsm2#

FAIL-MODE specifies the behavior when the Virtual Ethernet Module (VEM) has no connectivity to the Cisco VSG. The default is Close (packets are dropped). Open means packets are forwarded.

The MAC-ADDR column lists the MAC address of the data0 interface that corresponds to that Cisco VSG (if the VEM can resolve it). If the VEM does not resolve the MAC address, it cannot redirect packets to the Cisco VSG. If a valid MAC address is not shown, check if the Cisco VSG data0 is reachable from the VEM. If there is no valid MAC-ADDR, these are possible reasons:

  • The data0 interface on the Cisco VSG is not configured
  • The VLAN is not up
  • A mismatch has occurred in the VLAN specified in the vn-service command and the port profile used for the Cisco VSG VM.

The STATE can be Up, Down, or No Licenses. If Down, the MAC-ADDR is not resolved or the module is not up. If multiple VEM modules inherit the same VM port profile, those interfaces must pass all checks before the state can be Up. If No Licenses appears, install the Cisco VSG license on the VSM.

The MODULE column lists the VEM numbers whose interfaces have inherited this configuration.

show vsn detail [port] [vlan vlan-num ip ip-addr] [module module-num]

You can display detailed information for all VSNs in use by using the show vsn detail command. Information is displayed for each of the associated VEM modules. The command output displays the port profile, security profile, organization, and list of Cisco Nexus 1000V ports that have inherited this configuration. Also displayed are any configuration mismatches between the VSM and VEM missing ports for a given port profile, all ports of a port profile that are not configured with same security profile, and so forth.

This example shows how to display all VSNs in use:

vsm# show vsn detail
#VSN VLAN: 756, IP-ADDR: 200.1.1.67
MODULE VSN-MAC-ADDR FAIL-MODE VSN-STATE
3 00:50:56:83:03:1c Close Up
4 00:50:56:83:03:1c Close Up
 
#VSN Ports, Port-Profile, Org and Security-Profile Association:
#VSN VLAN: 756, IP-ADDR: 200.1.1.67
Port-Profile: profile-data, Security-Profile: sec-profile-stress1, Org: root/Tenant-Stress1
Module Vethernet
3 9, 7, 8
4 5, 6
vsm#

 

The Vethernet column shows the virtual Ethernet (vEth) interfaces that are bound to the appropriate VEM listed in the Module column and that they inherit the correct port profile.

Possible red flags include notations (* or ??) against the security profile or organization (the Org column).

show vsn port [vethernet veth-num]

You can display information for each vEth interface by using the show vsn port command. By default, all attached vEths are listed. Use the vethernet option for output of a specific vEth interface.

This example shows how to display the vEth interfaces:

vsm2# show vsn port
Veth : Veth4
VM Name : win2k3
VM uuid : 42 1c 5a e4 51 c3 5d d9-60 fa a5 0c b0 4e d0 ea

VSN Data IP : 10.0.0.1
Security Profile : spcustom
Org : orgroot
VNSP id : 1
IP addresses:
100.1.1.20
vsm2#

Note Any field with a value of Not set is an improper port configuration.

  • For the VM Name value, make sure the VM name matches name of the VM associated with this vNIC.
  • For VSN Data IP, Security Profile, and Org values, ensure that correct values for this VM are displayed.
  • The VNSP ID should never be zero.
  • For IP Addresses, ensure that the list of IP addresses matches the IP addresses configured for the specific vNIC for that VM. If not, use the vemcmd show learnt command on all VEM modules to display the Internet Protocol Database (IPDB) table.

show vsn connection

You can display VSN connections by using the show vsn connection command.

This example shows how to display VSN connections:

VSM-207-1# show vsn connection vlan 159 ip 15.15.15.15 module 4
Flags:
A - seen ack for syn/fin from src a - seen ack for syn/fin from dst
E - tcp conn established (SasA done)

Cisco VSG show Commands

The attribute manager maintains a set of tables and does a lookup that is based on the fields in the packet. There are three main tables: DV port table, VM table, and VNSP table. Use the show vsg dvport command to display runtime information for the DV port table. For the other two tables, use the show vsg vm and show vsg vnsp commands.

Hash tables are maintained based on IP addresses (IP address to DV port entry) and VNSP ID (VNSP ID to VNSP entry). An IP address is used when fetching attributes (custom and VM attributes) that are based on the source or destination IP address. It is also used to determine which policy set to evaluate for a given traffic type. The VNSP ID is used (valid VNSP ID in the packet header) to determine which policy set to evaluate. Custom attributes can also be fetched.

This section includes the following topics:

show vnm-pa status

Enter the show vnm-pa status command to display the VNMC policy agent status.

This example shows how to display the VNMC policy agent status:

vsg# show vnm-pa status
VNM Policy-Agent status is - Installed Successfully. Version 1.0(1j)-vsg
vsg#

show service-path statistics

You can display the following statistics that pertain to one vPath by using the show service-path statistics command:

  • The packets seen by the service path from the vPath.
  • Flows created by the service path due to these packets.
  • Packets dropped in the service path due to various errors.

Note If no module is given, the command displays the aggregate statistics of all the modules in the given SVS domain.


This command provides the following keyword filters:

  • svs-domain-id domain-id—Displays only the Cisco VSG connections that are associated to the svs-domain specified in the domain-id.
  • module module-num—Displays only the Cisco VSG connections that are associated to the svs-domain and VEM module specified in the domain-id and the module-num. Use this keyword filter only with the svs-domain-id filter.

This example shows how to display the statistics using the svs-domain-id keyword filter:

clear service-path statistics

You can clear the service path statistics globally by using the clear service-path statistics command when no option is given. When the SVS domain ID and the module are provided, entering the command clears the statistics of the specified module.

This command provides the following keyword filters:

  • svs-domain-id domain-id—Displays only the Cisco VSG connections that are associated to the svs-domain specified in the domain-id.
  • module module-num—Displays only the Cisco VSG connections that are associated to the svs-domain and VEM module specified in the domain-id and the module-num. Use this only with the svs-domain-id filter.

This example shows how to clear the service path statistics:

vsg# clear service-path statistics
vsg#

show service-path connection

You can display the connections (flow-table) maintained in the Cisco VSG by using the show service-path connection command. These connections are provided per VEM module per SVS domain.

This command provides the following keyword filters:

  • svs-domain-id domain-id—Displays only the Cisco VSG connections that are associated to the svs-domain specified in the domain-id.
  • module module-num—Displays only the Cisco VSG connections that are associated to the svs-domain and VEM module specified in the domain-id and the module-num. Use this keyword filter only with the svs-domain-id keyword filter.

This example shows the output for the command:

vsg# show service-path connection

You can clear the connections (flow-table) maintained in the Cisco VSG by using the clear service-path connection command.

This example shows how to clear the flow-table connection output:

vsg# clear service-path connection
vsg#

show vsg ip-binding

You can display a list of VM IP addresses and associated Virtual Network Service Profiles (VNSPs) with the associated policy set by using the show vsg ip-binding command. This information helps you to troubleshoot data path issues. The attribute manager determines which policy set to evaluate for a given packet (source IP address is the key for the lookup).

When debugging issues (for example, the wrong policy set or no policy), use this command to ensure that IP bindings (IP address to VNSP association) are correct. This association can also affect VNSP and VM attributes fetched by the attribute manager.

This example shows how to display the list of VM IP addresses and associated VNSPs:

vsn# show vsg-ip-binding

show vsg security-profile {[vnsp-name ]| detail | table}

You can display information for a specific VNSP or all VNSPs by using the show vsg security-profile command. The attribute manager looks up custom attributes for a particular VNSP that is based on this association before doing a policy evaluation. By default, information is displayed for all VNSPs. You can specify a particular VNSP by using the vnsp-name argument.

When debugging issues such as the wrong policy set are evaluated, check if the correct policy set is associated with the VNSP. If custom attribute values are not correct, this command displays some details.

The detail version of this command includes names of the VMs that are using the security-profile in addition to their security-profile information. A VNSP name can be specified to get details of a specific security-profile.

The following example shows how to display detailed information about a specific Cisco VSG security profile with the name sp_deny@root:

firewall-1# show vsg security-profile sp_deny@root detail
VNSP : sp_deny@root
VNSP id : 5
Policy Name : ps_deny@root
Policy id : 3
Custom attributes :
Name : vnsporg
Value : root
 
Name : profile1
Value : eng
 
Virtual Machines:
sg-pg-vm206
sg-pg-redhat
 
firewall-1#

You can display the associated VNSP ID and policy for all VNSPs by using the show vsg security-profile command. The attribute manager uses this association when looking up a VNSP and associated policy from the packet that reaches the data0 interface of the Cisco VSG. When VPath redirects the packets to the Cisco VSG, the VNSP ID is added in the packet header.

This example shows how to display brief tabular information for the Cisco VSG security profile:

firewall-tenant-aa# show vsg security-profile table
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Security-Profile Name VNSP ID Policy Name
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
default@root 1 default@root
sec-profile-AB@root/Tenant-A/Data-Center-B 30

Virtual Machines :
linux-206-185
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zone : zone1@root/test34
Virtual Machines :
