On a failure of clock module A, clock module B becomes the active clock. Refer to the hardware installation guide for your platform at the following website to replace a clock module. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/ps4159/ps4358/prod_installation_guides_list.html Troubleshooting Other Hardware Issues Note To issue commands with the internal keyword, you must have an account that is a member of the network-admin group. To identify a hardware issue with a module using the CLI, follow these steps: Step 1 Use the show module internal exceptionlog command. The exception log is a wraparound log of all errors and exceptional conditions on each module. Some exceptions are catastrophic, some partially affect certain ports in a module, and others are for warning purposes. Each log entry includes the following fields: • device id-The device that logged the exception. This is interpreted by your customer support representative. • device errorcode-The error code that occurred on the device. This is interpreted by your customer support representative. • error type-The severity level of the error. Software errors are typically minor or warning. All other errors may be hardware problems. • Number Ports that failed-The number of ports on the module that are no longer operational. • system time- The timestamp when the problem occurred. The exception log is stored in the NVRAM on the supervisor module. Most hardware errors are logged in this command output. If the error type field indicates anything other than minor or warning error, then it is most likely a hardware failure. (See Example 4-5.)
