Lab 3: Troubleshooting

Location and content of dynamic routing log files:

For each dynamic routing protocol, the BIG-IP system logs messages to a file that pertains to the route domain in which the protocol is running. An example of the path name to a dynamic routing log file is /var/log/zebos/rd1/zebos.log file, where rd1 is the route domain of the protocol instance.

On E_A_BIGIP configure the following logging statement for BGP:

[root@E_A_BIGIP-13:Active:Standalone] log # imish
E_A_BIGIP-13.local[0]>enable
E_A_BIGIP-13.local[0]#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
E_A_BIGIP-13.local[0](config)#log file /var/log/zebos/rd0/zebos.log
E_A_BIGIP-13.local[0]#wr

[OK]
E_A_BIGIP-13.local[0]#
E_A_BIGIP-13.local[0]#
E_A_BIGIP-13.local[0]#
E_A_BIGIP-13.local[0]#exit

On E_A_BIGIP configure BGP debugging:
E_A_BIGIP-13.local[0]#deb bgp all
E_A_BIGIP-13.local[0]#sh debug bgp
BGP debugging status:
    BGP debugging is on
    BGP nht debugging is on
