This section describes -several troubleshooting tools provided by VyOS that can help when something -goes wrong. - -****************** -Connectivity Tests -****************** - -Basic Connectivity Tests -======================== - -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 :ref:`cli` -section and are omitted from the output here): - -.. opcmd:: ping <destination> - - Send ICMP echo requests to destination host.

Then, you migrate your VyOS VM to a different host and find your interfaces now are eth4, eth5, eth6 and eth7. - - One way to fix this issue **taking control of the MAC addresses** is: - - Log into VyOS and run this command to display your interface settings. - - .. code-block:: none - - show interfaces detail - - Take note of MAC addresses. - - Now, in order to update a MAC address in the configuration, run this command specifying the interface name and MAC address you want. - - .. code-block:: none - - set interfaces eth0 hw-id 00:0c:29:da:a4:fe - - If it is a VM, go into the settings of the host and set the MAC address to the settings found in the config.boot file. You can also set the MAC to static if the host allows so. - - -* Another example could be when cloning VyOS VMs in GNS3 and you get into the same issue: interface names have changed. - - And **a more generic way to fix it** is just deleting every MAC address at the configuration file of the cloned machine. They will be correctly regenerated automatically. - - -********** -Monitoring -********** - -VyOS features several monitoring tools. - -.. code-block:: none - - vyos@vyos:~$ monitor - Possible completions: - bandwidth Monitor interface bandwidth in real time - bandwidth-test - Initiate or wait for bandwidth test - cluster Monitor clustering service - command Monitor an operational mode command (refreshes every 2 seconds) - conntrack-sync - Monitor conntrack-sync - content-inspection - Monitor Content-Inspection - dhcp Monitor Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) - dns Monitor a Domain Name Service (DNS) daemon - firewall Monitor Firewall - https Monitor the Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTPS) service - lldp Monitor Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) daemon - log Monitor last lines of messages file - nat Monitor network address translation (NAT) - ndp Monitor the NDP information received by the router through the device - openvpn Monitor OpenVPN - protocol Monitor routing protocols - snmp Monitor Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) daemon - stop-all Stop all current background monitoring processes - traceroute Monitor the path to a destination in realtime - traffic Monitor traffic dumps - vpn Monitor VPN - vrrp Monitor Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) - webproxy Monitor Webproxy service - - -Traffic Dumps -============= - -To monitor interface traffic, issue the :code:`monitor traffic interface <name>` -command, replacing `<name>` with your chosen interface. - -.. code-block:: none - - vyos@vyos:~$ monitor traffic interface eth0 - tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode - listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 262144 bytes - 15:54:28.581601 IP 192.168.0.1 > vyos: ICMP echo request, id 1870, seq 3848, length 64 - 15:54:28.581660 IP vyos > 192.168.0.1: ICMP echo reply, id 1870, seq 3848, length 64 - 15:54:29.583399 IP 192.168.0.1 > vyos: ICMP echo request, id 1870, seq 3849, length 64 - 15:54:29.583454 IP vyos > 192.168.0.1: ICMP echo reply, id 1870, seq 3849, length 64 - ^C - 4 packets captured - 4 packets received by filter - 0 packets dropped by kernel - vyos@vyos:~$ - -To quit monitoring, press `Ctrl-c` and you'll be returned to the VyOS command -prompt. - -Traffic can be filtered and saved. - -.. code-block:: none - - vyos@vyos:~$ monitor traffic interface eth0 - Possible completions: - <Enter> Execute the current command - filter Monitor traffic matching filter conditions - save Save traffic dump from an interface to a file - - -Interface Bandwidth Usage -========================= - -to take a quick view on the used bandwidth of an interface use the ``monitor -bandwidth`` command - -.. code-block:: none - - vyos@vyos:~$ monitor bandwidth interface eth0 - -show the following: - -.. code-block:: none - - B (RX Bytes/second) - 198.00 .|....|..................................................... - 165.00 .|....|..................................................... - 132.00 ||..|.|..................................................... - 99.00 ||..|.|..................................................... - 66.00 |||||||..................................................... - 33.00 |||||||..................................................... - 1 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 - - KiB (TX Bytes/second) - 3.67 ......|..................................................... - 3.06 ......|..................................................... - 2.45 ......|..................................................... - 1.84 ......|..................................................... - 1.22 ......|..................................................... - 0.61 :::::||..................................................... - 1 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 - -Interface Performance -===================== - -To take a look on the network bandwidth between two nodes, the ``monitor -bandwidth-test`` command is used to run iperf. - -.. code-block:: none - - vyos@vyos:~$ monitor bandwidth-test - Possible completions: - accept Wait for bandwidth test connections (port TCP/5001) - initiate Initiate a bandwidth test - -* The ``accept`` command opens a listening iperf server on TCP Port 5001 -* The ``initiate`` command connects to that server to perform the test. - -.. code-block:: none - - vyos@vyos:~$ monitor bandwidth-test initiate - Possible completions: - <hostname> Initiate a bandwidth test to specified host (port TCP/5001) - <x.x.x.x> - <h:h:h:h:h:h:h:h> - - -Monitor command -=============== - -The ``monitor command`` command allows you to repeatedly run a command to view -a continuously refreshed output.

Jessie was -the first version of Debian that uses systemd_ as the default init system. - -These are the boot steps for VyOS 1.2 - -1. The BIOS loads Grub (or isolinux for the Live CD) -2. Grub then starts the Linux boot and loads the Linux Kernel ``/boot/vmlinuz`` -3. Kernel Launches Systemd ``/lib/systemd/systemd`` -4. Systemd loads the VyOS service file - ``/lib/systemd/system/vyos-router.service`` -5. The service file launches the VyOS router init script - ``/usr/libexec/vyos/init/vyos-router`` - this is part of the vyatta-cfg_ - Debian package - - 1. Starts FRR_ - successor to `GNU Zebra`_ and Quagga_ - - 2. Initialises the boot configuration file - copies over - ``config.boot.default`` if there is no configuration - 3. Runs the configuration migration, if the configuration is for an older - version of VyOS - 4. Runs The pre-config script, if there is one - ``/config/scripts/vyos-preconfig-bootup.script`` - 5. If the config file was upgraded, runs any post upgrade scripts - ``/config/scripts/post-upgrade.d`` - 6. Starts ``rl-system`` and ``firewall`` - 7. Mounts the ``/boot`` partition - 8. The boot configuration file is then applied by ``/opt/vyatta/sbin/ - vyatta-boot-config-loader/opt/vyatta/etc/config/config.boot`` - - 1. The config loader script writes log entries to - ``/var/log/vyatta-config-loader.log`` - - 10. Runs ``telinit q`` to tell the init system to reload ``/etc/inittab`` - 11. Finally it runs the post-config script - ``/config/scripts/vyos-postconfig-bootup.script`` - -.. _Quagga: https://www.quagga.net/ -.. _`GNU Zebra`: https://www.gnu.org/software/zebra/ -.. _FRR: https://frrouting.org/ -.. _vyatta-cfg: https://github.com/vyos/vyatta-cfg -.. _systemd: https://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/ -.. _`Debian Jessie`: https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/ -.. _tshark: https://www.wireshark.org/docs/man-pages/tshark.html -.. _`PCAP filter expressions`: http://www.tcpdump.org/manpages/pcap-filter.7.html |
