General Routing Commands
  • Display the routing table

> set system setting arp-cache-timeout <60-65536>
  • View the ARP cache timeout setting.
> show system setting arp-cache-timeout
AE Interfaces
  • On PA-7050 and PA-7080 firewalls that have an aggregate interface group of interfaces located on different line cards, implement proper handling of fragmented packets that the firewall receives on multiple interfaces of the AE group.
> set ae-frag redistribution-policy hash

BFD
  • Show BFD profiles
> show routing bfd active-profile [<name>]
  • Show BFD details
> show routing bfd details [interface <name>] [local-ip <ip>] [multihop][peer-ip <ip>] [session-id] [virtual-router <name>]
  • Show BFD statistics on dropped sessions
> show routing bfd drop-counters session-id <session-id>
  • Show counters of transmitted, received, and dropped BFD packets
> show counter global | match bfd
  • Clear counters of transmitted, received, and dropped BFD packets
> clear routing bfd counters session-id all | <1-1024>
  • Clear BFD sessions for debugging purposes
> clear routing bfd session-state session-id all | <1-1024>
PVST+
  • Set the native VLAN ID
> set session pvst-native-vlan-id <vid>
  • Drop all STP BPDU packets
> set session drop-stp-packet
  • Verify PVST+ BPDU rewrite configuration, native VLAN ID, and STP BPDU packet drop
> show vlan all
  • Show counter of times the 802.1Q tag and PVID fields in a PVST+ BPDU packet do not match
> show counter global
Look at the flow_pvid_inconsistent counter.
Troubleshooting
  • Ping from the management (MGT) interface to a destination IP address
