addalmslot

Enables the MAJOR and MINOR alarm indicators on an Alarm Relay Card (ARC) or Alarm Relay Module (ARM). It also configures the slot to support external alarms from the Alarm Relay Interface (ARI) back card. You can use this command at any node that can provide external alarm indications to an alarm reporting system. The ARC or ARM can reside in any front slot but usually resides in the right-most slot.

addextlp

Places an external device in loopback mode. The addextlp command applies to existing connections on an SDP, HDM, LDP, or LDM. A near loopback causes the NEAR EIA template to be applied. A far loopback causes the FAR EIA template to be applied to the data port. The loopback remains in place until removed by the dellp command.

The dspcons command shows which connections are in loopback mode. Specifying an "n" after the channel indicates a near loopback, and an "f" indicates a far loopback. Because addextlp takes the specified connections out of service, use it only when a service disruption is tolerable.

Parameter
Description

channel

Specifies the channel to loopback in the format slot.port.

n /f

Specifies whether the loopback is near or far. An "n" specifies near; an "f" specifies far. For a non-DDS port, the near or far modem is placed in loopback, if it supports this function. For a DDS port, the external DDS device is placed in CSU loopback. Local channels must be configured as OCU in order to place them in external loopback.


addlnloclp

Establishes a local-remote loopback on a trunk or port card in a BPX. Applicable cards are the ASI, BNI, BME, and BXM.

While a line loop is present, software suspends the card self-test and the line diagnostic test that normally run when a line goes into alarm. Suspending these tests prevents background test loops from interfering with the user-specified loop.

Line loops are set for a line on the local node, so you cannot specify a remote node, and no network messaging is supported for setting a line loop of any type on a remote node.

Line loop status is displayed on the dsplns screen for an ASI, BME, or a BXM in port mode and the dsptrks screen for a BNI, BME, or a BXM in trunk mode. Line loop status is not displayed for connections (dspcons) affected by a line loop. Instead, a warning is printed if the line has connection traffic travelling on it, and an event is logged when a line loop is set or cleared. A line loop on a trunk generates Comm Fail, causing connections to fail and be rerouted.

For both of the dsplns and dsptrks screens, the "[" character appears before the back card type in the "Type" column to indicate that the line local loopback is active.

The line loop state is not saved in BRAM or on a rebuild but is preserved on a switchover. After a rebuild, a line's loop state is cleared.

Exercise caution when you set up loops on a BNI, BME, or BXM trunk because looping an added BNI/BXM/BME trunk causes Comm Failure and connection rerouting. BNI/BXM/BME addlnlocrmtlp is not supported because of a lack of useful purpose, and Cisco recommends that you use addlnloclp only when the trunk is upped but not added. On the other hand, the system does not prevent you from looping an added BNI/BXM/BME trunk port.

On the other hand, the system does not prevent you from looping an added BNI/BXM/BME trunk port.

In this release, you can use the addloclp and addlocrmtlp commands to enable a two-segment connection at the hub node port endpoint in a network of IGX hubs and MGX 8800 interface shelves. The addloclp and addlocrmtlp commands are blocked at the interface shelf trunk endpoint. The addrmtlp command is not supported at either endpoint of the connection. You can use the dellp command to remove the local (or local remote) loopbacks that have been added; however, you cannot use the dellp command at the trunk endpoint of the connection—it will be blocked. Loops of any kind are not supported for the middle segment of a three-segment connection.

Parameter
Description

The port on the local node.


addloclp

The addloclp command places the following types of channels in local loopback mode:

Voice

Data

Frame Relay port

Frame Relay connection

ATM connection

Access device port

For voice connections, addloclp creates a signal path from a channel or group of channels on an incoming line then back out to the line. External test equipment can test the integrity of the path at the T1 DS0 level. Figure 14-1 shows a local loopback on a voice channel.

Figure 14-1 Local Loopback on a Voice Channel

For data connections, addloclp creates a signal path from the incoming data port or set of ports back to these same port(s) through the local CDP/CVM, SDP/HDM, or LDP/LDM. External test equipment can then test the integrity of the path. Figure 14-2 illustrates a local loopback on a data connection.

Figure 14-2 Local Loopback on a Data Connection

A local loopback can simultaneously exist at both ends of a connection. However, a local loopback and a remote loopback cannot co-exist on a connection. (See the addrmtlp description for more information.)

Before executing a loopback, the IGX node performs signal and code conditioning to remove the connection from service. The loopback remains in place until removed by the dellp command. Only existing connections can be looped back. Use the dspcons command to see which connections are looped back. A flashing right parenthesis ")" or left parenthesis ")" is used in the connections display to indicate a loopback. The direction and location of the parenthesis depends on whether the loopback is local or remote and which end of the connection was used to establish the loopback. A local loopback initiated from the local end of the connection looks like this in the connections display:

Local Channel

Remote Node

Remote Channel

12.1

alpha

15.1


A local loopback initiated from the remote end of the connection looks like this:

Local Channel

Remote Node

Remote Channel

12.1

alpha

15.1


In Frame Relay connection loopback mode (DLCI included in command), all packets from the far-end of the connection are dropped. The far-end system software is informed of the loopback. In port loopback mode (port specified without a DLCI), all packets for this port are dropped and each opposite end is informed of the loopback mode. Use the format slot.port in port mode to loop just the port. The data is looped directly in the FRI back card, so no data reaches the muxbus or cellbus. Use the format slot.port.DLCI in connection (channel) mode to loop a specific channel. Note that this can affect up to 252 connections (channels) in port loopback mode.

Because the addloclp command causes the connection(s) to be removed from service, you should use loopbacks only when a service disruption can be tolerated. You establish remote loopbacks with the addrmtlp command. You remove local and remote loopbacks with the dellp command. You can also initiate loopbacks for data channels by pressing a button on the front of the associated data card.

Frame Relay Local Loops with Port Concentrator

When a Frame Relay port or connection is located on a Port Concentrator instead of directly on an FRP or FRM card, the data test path is different. When just the <port> parameter is used, incoming data is looped back out on the Port Concentrator port, as shown in Figure 14-3.

Figure 14-3 Local Loop on Port Concentrator

This loop disrupts all Frame Relay connections on the port that is under test.

When you specify a connection with <port.dlci> parameters, the connection is looped back at the FRM-2 or FRP-2 interface with the IGX card bus, as shown in Figure 14-4.

Figure 14-4 Local Loop on FRM-2 or FRP-2

As shown, this test verifies the operation of all components from the Port Concentrator to the IGX interface with the FRP-2 or FRM-2 card.

This tests interrupts only the specified connection on the Port Concentrator port.

In this release, the addloclp and addlocrmtlp commands support the two-segment connection at the hub node port endpoint in a network of IGX hubs and SES interface shelves. The addloclp and addlocrmtlp commands are blocked at the interface shelf trunk endpoint. The addrmtlp command is not supported at either endpoint of the connection. You can use the dellp command to remove the local (or local remote) loopbacks that have been added; however, you cannot use the dellp command at the trunk endpoint of the connection—it will be blocked. Loops of any kind are not supported for the middle segment of a three-segment connection.

addlocrmtlp

Adds support of a local-remote loopback for testing multi-segment connections in a tiered network. The effect is to instruct the remote node to set up a remote loopback. You must execute the addlocrmtlp command before using tstcon and tstdelay for multisegment connections. For interface shelves, you can execute addlocrmtlp on either the interface shelf (after telnetting to it). After testing is complete, remove the local-remote loop by executing dellp. A parenthesis on the screen shows the loop's endpoint.

In this release, the addloclp and addlocrmtlp commands support a two-segment connection at the hub node port endpoint in a network of IGX hubs and SES interface shelves. The addloclp and addlocrmtlp commands are blocked at the interface shelf trunk endpoint. The addrmtlp command is not supported at either endpoint of the connection. You can use the dellp command to remove the local (or local remote) loopbacks that have been added; however, you cannot use the dellp command at the trunk endpoint of the connection—it will be blocked. Loops of any kind are not supported for the middle segment of a three-segment connection.

Parameter
Description

channels(s)

The connection endpoint on the local node.


addrmtlp

The addrmtlp command places the following types of channels in remote loopback mode:

Voice

Data

Frame Relay port

Frame Relay connection

ATM connection

For voice connections, addrmtlp loops the information stream from the designated channel or group of channels on an incoming circuit line across the network and loops it back to the circuit line by way of the remote CDP or CVM. External test equipment can then test the integrity of the path at the T1 DS0 level. Figure 14-5 illustrates a remote loopback on a voice channel.

Figure 14-5 Remote Loopback on a Voice Channel

For data connections, addrmtlp transfers the information stream from the designated channels through the network and loops it back to the data port(s) through a remote SDP, HDM, LDM, or LDP. External test equipment can then test the integrity of the path. The following illustrates a data connection remote loopback.

Figure 14-6 Remote Loopback on a Data Connection

  

Prior to executing the loopback, the IPX or IGX node applies signaling template bit patterns to the A, B, C, and D signaling bits at the remote end to remove the connection from service. The loopback remains in place until removed by the dellp command. Only existing connections (those that have been entered with the add-on command) can be looped back. You cannot establish a remote loopback on a connection that is already looped back, either locally or remotely. (See the addloclp command for more information on local loopbacks.)

Use the dspcons command to see which connections are looped back. A flashing left parenthesis "(" or right parenthesis ")" is used in the connections display to indicate a loopback. The direction and location of the parenthesis depends on whether the loopback is local or remote and which end of the connection was used to establish the loopback. A remote loopback initiated from the local end of the connection looks like this:

Local Channel

A remote loopback initiated from the remote end of the connection looks like this:

For remote loopback of Frame Relay connections, note that in remote loopback mode, if the transmit minimum bandwidth exceeds the receive minimum bandwidth, then loopback data may be dropped. For this reason, the connection speeds will be checked and the user will receive the following message if there is a problem:

Warning—Receiver's BW < Originator's BW-Data may be dropped

Because the addrmtlp command causes the connection to be removed from service, loopbacks should be used only when a service disruption can be tolerated. Local loopbacks are established with the addloclp command. Both local and remote loopbacks are removed by the dellp command. Loopbacks for data channels can also be initiated by pressing a push-button on the front of the associated data card.

Remote Loopbacks and the Port Concentrator Shelf

For Frame Relay remote loops, DLCI MUST be specified; entering only port number only generates an error message.

Unlike local loopbacks, remote loopbacks are not supported for Frame Relay ports; connections must be specified. Data incoming on the Frame Relay port is looped at the remote end FRM-2 or FRP-2 card, as shown in Figure 14-7.

Figure 14-7 Frame Relay Remote Loops

As shown, this test verifies the operation of IPX/IGX network components up to the interface with the remote-end FRM-2 or FRP-2. This test interrupts data traffic for only the connection specified by DLCI.

If a port concentrator is attached to the FRM-2 or FRP-2, the only difference in the loop is that the port specified to loop data is on the Port Concentrator, as shown in Figure 14-8.

Figure 14-8 Frame Relay Remote Loops with Port Concentrator

The addloclp and addlocrmtlp commands support the two-segment connection at the hub node port endpoint in a network of IGX hubs and SES interface shelves. The addloclp and addlocrmtlp commands are blocked at the interface shelf trunk endpoint. The addrmtlp command is not supported at either endpoint of the connection. You can use the dellp command to remove the local (or local remote) loopbacks that have been added; however, you cannot use the dellp command at the trunk endpoint of the connection—it will be blocked. Loops of any kind are not supported for the middle segment of a three-segment connection.

clrclkalm

Clears the alarm condition attached to a clock source, either circuit line or trunk. The clock test runs continuously in a node, comparing the frequency of the node's clock source to a reference on the NPC/BCC/CC/control card. If a clock source is found to be outside preset frequency limits, it is declared defective and another clock source is selected. In order for the node to return to the original clock source, the alarm must be cleared using the clrclkalm command. The alarm may be either a "Bad Clock Source" or "Bad Clock Path" alarm.

clrlnalm

Clears the alarms associated with a circuit line. Since the statistical alarms associated with a circuit line have associated integration times, they can keep a major or minor alarm active for some time after the cause has been rectified. This command allows these alarms to be cleared, allowing any new alarms to be quickly identified. The clrlnalm command can only clear alarms caused by the collection of statistical data. Alarms caused by a network failure cannot be cleared. For example, an alarm caused by a collection of bipolar errors can be cleared, but an alarm caused by a card failure cannot.

clrtrkalm

Clears statistical alarms associated with either a physical or virtual trunk. Note that if a virtual trunk is specified for a command that configures information related to the physical port, then the physical port information is configured for all virtual trunks. This means that using clrtrkalm clears parameters on a logical trunk basis, but any changes automatically affect all trunks on the port when you change a physical option. Any changes you make to a virtual trunk on a port affect all virtual trunks on that port.

Since the statistical alarms associated with a trunk have associated integration times, they can keep a major or minor alarm active for some time after the cause has been rectified. The clrtrkalm allows these alarms to be cleared, allowing any new alarms to be quickly identified.

The clrtrkalm command can only clear alarms caused by the collection of statistical data. Alarms caused by a network failure cannot be cleared. For example, an alarm caused by a collection of bipolar errors can be cleared, but an alarm caused by a card failure cannot.

Note that a virtual trunk also has trunk port alarms that are shared with all the other virtual trunks on that port. You clear and set these alarms together for all the virtual trunks sharing the same port.

Alarms for the BXM and UXM card types are cleared and displayed differently.

This Command: clrtrkerrs *


Clears errors on all trunks. Continue (y/n)?

Table 14-25 clrtrkerrs—Parameters

Parameter
Description

trunk number

Specifies the trunk counter to clear.


clrtrkstats

Clears the node counters used for the Display Trunk Statistics. Counters are cleared for a physical or virtual trunk. You should clear these counters before beginning any monitoring session. This is similar to the clrtrkerrs command for errors. This command prompts you with an "OK to Clear?" message before actually clearing the counters. Use dsptrkstats to observe the trunk statistics. See the dsptrkstats command for a description of the counters cleared by the clrtrkstats command.

Parameter
Description

trunk number

Specifies the trunk. Note that, for virtual trunks, no virtual trunk parameter is required—just slot.port. The format is either slot (for a single-trunk card) or slot.port.


cnfbus

Selects the active System Bus. It should only be necessary to use this command when a problem is suspected with the currently active System Bus. As a safeguard against bus failure, each node is equipped with redundant System Buses, Bus A and Bus B. Either bus can be configured as the active bus and the remaining bus is reserved as standby. Use the dspbuses command to display the current bus configuration when configuring the buses with the cnfbus command.

cnfleadmon

Monitors the IGX node's LDM/HDM ports for failures. You can set each of the twelve control lead types to be monitored by firmware on the LDM/HDM card. The monitor reports only lead state changes; no event is reported if the lead remains up from one poll to the next.

You can also set the interval value that determines how frequently the firmware will check the card's serial port leads. To turn off the feature, set the interval value to zero.

Default = 0

Enter 0 to turn off the feature.


cnflnalm

Sets the trunk and line alarm values for failures that are statistical in nature. Statistical alarms are declared by the switch software when a cards supporting these trunks or lines report too many errors. The switch declares an alarm if the detected error rate equals the cnflnalm parameter error rate for the period of time designated by the alarm time parameter. Error rates that exceed the specified error rate cause an alarm in a proportionately shorter period of time. An alarm is cleared when the error rate remains below the rate specified by error rate for a period of time designated by the clear time.

You can configure the thresholds for alarms caused by the collection of statistics but not for the alarms caused by a network failure. For example, you can configure the threshold for an alarm caused by a collection of bipolar errors, but you cannot configure an alarm caused by a card failure.

Six parameters exist for each failure type—three for minor alarms and three for major alarms. When configuring any item for a minor or major alarm, you must enter a value. You can enter a new value or enter the current value.

Table 14-29 describes the parameters for cnflnalm. For each failure type, the alarm classes, the possible error rate options, and default alarm times and clear times are listed in Table 14-30. Table 14-31 describes the error rate options listed in Table 14-30.

cnftrkalm

Configures trunk alarm reporting. When trunks are upped and added to the network, alarm reporting automatically is enabled. The cnftrkalm command lets you disable alarms on a trunk. Disabling alarms may be useful, for example, for trunks that are connected to the node but not yet in service or if the node is experiencing occasional bursts of errors but is still operational. (When the alarms are enabled, they cause an alarm output from the DTI Group Alarm Connector (if present) and an alarm indication on the Cisco WAN Manager terminal.)

Description

Disable trunk alarms on trunk 14, which has a major alarm. After using this command to disable the alarms, the only indication that the alarms have been disabled is to observe the dspalms screen while a trunk alarm exists. The dspalms screen displays the word "disabled" after "PLN Alarms." Therefore, when you disable trunk alarms, be sure to note this action so you remember to enable alarms after the cause of the trunk failure has been corrected.

dellp

Deletes an external, local, remote, or local-remote (tiered nets) loopback from the designated channel, set of channels, or port. After the loopback is deleted, any conditioning applied during the loopback process is removed and service is restored.

Add local loopbacks with the addloclp command.

Add remote loopbacks by using the addrmtlp command.

Add external loopbacks by using the addextlp command.

A local loop can be deleted only from the node that added it. However, a remote loop can be deleted from the node at either end of the connection.

Add local-remote loopbacks by using the addlocrmtlp command. Note that with local-remote loopbacks, execution of dellp is mandatory after testing is complete, otherwise continuity errors will follow.

In this release, the addloclp and addlocrmtlp commands support the two-segment connection at the hub node port endpoint in a network of IGX routing hubs and SES interface shelves. The addloclp and addlocrmtlp commands are blocked at the interface shelf trunk endpoint. The addrmtlp command is not supported at either endpoint of the connection. You can use the dellp command to remove the local (or local remote) loopbacks that have been added; however, you cannot use the dellp command at the trunk endpoint of the connection—it will be blocked. Loops of any kind are not supported for the middle segment of a three-segment connection.

Table 14-33 dellp—Parameters 

Parameter
Description

channels

Specifies the channel or set of channels whose loopback is to be deleted. The format for channel depends on the type of connection, as follows:

Voice connection: slot.channel
Data connection: slot.port
Frame Relay connection: slot.port.DLCI
ATM connections: slot.port.vpi.vci
Access device: slot.port.connection_ID


dncd

Downs (or deactivates) a card. When you down a card, it is no longer available as a node resource. You should down a card before you remove it from a card cage. Before it actually downs an active card, the node determines if a standby card is available. If no standby card is present, the node gives you an opportunity to abort the command. If a standby card of the same type is available and you execute dncd, the standby card is activated. If no standby card is available and you execute the command, a major alarm results. To activate a downed card, use the upcd command.


Note If you remove a card from a card cage without first executing dncd, no warning appears.


You cannot down a control card (NPC, NPM, or BCC). Use switchcc for control cards.

If the A-bit Notifications on LMI/ILMI Interface feature is enabled (with cnfnodeparm), after downing the trunk, the master node will deroute the connections or condition the connections due to path fail. (For information on the A-bit Notifications on LMI/ILMI Interface feature in Release 9.1.07, refer to "Summary of Commands" on page 46.)

dspalms

Displays major and minor alarms throughout the network and more specific alarms at the local node. The dspalms command displays the following information:

The number of failed connections on the node.

The number of sources failed.

The number of major and minor circuit line alarms on the node.

The number of major and minor trunk alarms on the node.

The number of failed cards on the node.

The number of missing cards on the node.

The number of alarms on other nodes in the network.

The number of APS lines in alarm.

When the Cisco WAN Manager terminal is at a junction (physically, or vt), the number of junction node alarms is displayed.

The number of unreachable nodes in the network.

The power supply and power monitor failures on the node.

Bus failures (either "Failed" or "Needs Diagnostics").

FR/ATM Port Communication Failed (OAM Packet Threshold exceeded).

FR/ATM NNI A-bit Alarms (connections with A-bits=0).

Slot alarms on IGX due to insufficient bus bandwidth allocation on a slot containing a UXM card.

Any alarm on the ASM card if the node is a BPX.

Trunk alarms are differentiated between those trunks that are disabled and trunks that are not disabled. For more details on each type of alarm, use the "display" command associated with each failed item. Table 14-35 shows the display commands that show error information.

dspbob

Shows the current state of all inputs from user equipment to the node the state of all outputs from the node to the user equipment. The display is real-time and updated at a user-specified interval. The display refreshes at the designated interval until the Delete key is pressed or until it times out. See the cnfict description for information on configuring data interfaces. When used with Frame Relay T1/E1 applications, dspbob displays the message "This FRP does not support V.35 ports."

Displaying Signal Status for Port Concentrator Ports

If an FRM-2 or FRP-2 card connects to a Port Concentrator Shelf (PCS), up to 44 ports can be specified with the port parameter. In this case, dspbob displays the signal status for ports on the PCS. The PCS relays any changes in signal states to the FRM-2 or FRP-2, so a slight delay occurs when signals are updated.

When used for PCS ports, dspbob has an optional parameter of measuring port clock speed. Selection of this parameter temporarily interrupts all traffic on the logical port. The events that take place upon input of this parameter are:

1. The port is disabled.

2. Two invalid frames are timed as they go out the port.

3. The port is reactivated.

dspbuses

Displays the status of the System Buses on an IPX or IGX node. As a safeguard against bus failure, each node is equipped with redundant System Buses: Bus A and Bus B. Either bus can be configured as the active bus with the other bus as standby. The cnfbus command is used to switch the active bus. Each System Bus contains the following buses: Control Bus, Time Division Multiplex (TDM) bus, clock bus and power bus. In addition to showing which System Bus is active and which is standby, the dspbuses command also shows which sub-bus needs diagnostics or has failed. Bus status is displayed at the bottom of the screen. Table 14-41 shows the possible status displays and their meaning.

The remaining MUXBUS or CELLBUS bandwidth available to assign to cards and circuits is displayed. This is primarily used when configuring the AIT card on the IPX node or BTM card on the IGX node. The user can assign MUXBUS or CELLBUS bandwidth for the IPX or IGX node, respectively. Available bandwidth falls into two categories, namely, dedicated and pooled. Dedicated bandwidth is reserved by the system for specific purposes, such as Statistical Reserve for PCC traffic. Pooled bandwidth can be assigned to any use but primarily is used for an ATM trunk.

MUXBUS or CELLBUS bandwidth is assigned in quantities of "switches," "slices," and "circuits" and the available bandwidth is displayed in three rows accordingly. A single DS0 circuit occupies 333 packets per second (pps) of MUXBUS or CELLBUS bandwidth, a "slice" of bandwidth is equivalent to three DS0 circuits for a total of 1000 pps. And a switch is eight slices for a total of 8000 packets/second of bus bandwidth. In a newly installed node with no cards and no circuits installed, the total bus bandwidth that is available to be assigned is listed in the right column of Table 14-42, which is the sum of the dedicated and pooled bandwidth. As cards and circuits are added to the node, the available bandwidth decreases accordingly.

dsplog

Displays the event log for a node. Events affecting the node are displayed in chronological order with the most recent events at the top of the log. The display includes a description of the event, the date and time of the event, and the alarm class of the event. A Continue? prompt is displayed if more than one screen is required to display all the log entries. Events generating alarms are marked Major or Minor, and events clearing alarms are marked Clear.

When you enter parameters with the dsplog command, they may all be used and entered in any order (except the <i> parameter, which cannot be used with <p>).

In this release, dsplog entries show the virtual trunk number of a trunk, for example, slot.port.vtrk.

For UXM cards with ATM Forum IMA compliant trunks, a trunk is displayed in dsptrks as:

<slot>.<primary_port>x<num ports>

For example, an IMA trunk would display in the TRK column in the dsptrks display as the following:

5.1x4

In this case, 5.1x4 indicates an ATM Forum-compliant IMA trunk 5.4 which consists of four physical lines. To see all physical lines belonging to this IMA trunk, you can enter the dspphyslns command.

Note that in this release, for IMA trunks, you can configure nonconsecutive physical lines. In Release 9.1, an IMA trunk required that consecutive physical lines be configured on the same card. In this release, nonconsecutive physical lines are supported.

Note also that to support ATM Forum compliant IMA trunks, the UXM card must have Model B firmware. (Model A firmware supports Cisco proprietary IMA protocol trunks, but not the
ATM Forum- compliant trunks.)

The dsplog displays an SES interface shelf (feeder) when it is added or removed from an IGX 8400 routing hub.

A message displays when you execute the dsplog command that tells you when a Hitless Rebuild of the node occurred. See Example 2, which shows even log entries indicating that a hitless rebuild has occurred.

When a hitless rebuild occurs, event log entries indicating the occurrence of the rebuild will be logged. You view these event log entries using dsplog.

Whenever the polling type changes, this event is logged in the event log (displayed using dsplog command) on the switch.

Degraded Mode Conditions

Related to degraded mode conditions, which may occur when a node has exhausted its internal resources due to excessive messaging (among other possible causes) which leads the node to abort, the node will either switch to the standby CC if it is available, or else it will go to into the degraded mode, assuming that this mode has been enabled. A node indicates that it is in degraded mode by: displaying degraded on the console screen; remote nodes generating degraded mode alarms; remote nodes showing the degraded mode as unreachable/degraded (UNDeg). The abort that put the node into degraded mode is logged in the switch software log, which you can display using the dsplog command.

After a node enters the degraded mode, communication is halted with the rest of the network. All the network nodes immediately transition to communication break with the node in degraded mode.

The communication break generates a Minor Alarm for the network nodes. Each node inserts a special communication break message into the local event log (dsplog). For a locally attached Cisco WAN Manager, the message is also inserted into the Cisco WAN Manager event log. This message indicates the communication break was caused by a degraded mode at the remote node.

In addition to the log entries, a Communication Break Robust Alarm trap is generated to Cisco WAN Manager. This trap contains a new alarm type (code 997), which indicates the communication break was caused by a degraded mode at the remote node.

After a node exits the degraded mode, communication resumes with the rest of the network. All the network nodes clear communication break with the node.

The clearing of the communication break clears the Minor Alarm for the network nodes. Communication break clear messages are inserted into the local and Cisco WAN Manager event logs. A Communication break Robust Alarm trap is generated with the clear alarm type (code 998). The log messages and the robust trap for the communication break clear do not indicate that the communication break was caused by the node being in a degraded mode.

APS Alarms Displayed with dsplog Command

The dsplog command displays SONET APS (Automatic Protection Switching) events and alarms.

APS alarms are also propagated to Cisco WAN Manager (called StrataView Plus in previous releases). Table 14-46 lists the APS alarms displayed with the dsplog command. (APS events are indicated in the table by "Info" class type. Note that events can be displayed with the dsplog command, but are not displayed by the dspapsln command.)

Logging into a Node in High-Priority Login Mode

Example 4 shows a dsplog screen where notification is given when high-priority mode is in use by the High Priority! string on the screen. The local event log indicates when the high-priority mode is entered and exited. (For information on the high-priority login feature and when you typically would use it, see "High-Priority Login Feature" section on page 17-1.) The following strings are logged:

Info User StrataCom logged in (Local High Priority)

Info User StrataCom logged out (Local High Priority)

When in local high-priority mode, using the vt command to execute commands on another node provides a high-priority virtual terminal session. If you log into a control port at high priority, and then use the vt command to remotely log into another node with high priority VT, then both nodes will be servicing you at a high priority. The local node will service you at the control port high priority, while the remote node serves you at a priority just below the network handler. When using the high-priority vt command, the screen shows High Priority VT and the local event log shows the following strings.

Info User StrataCom logged in (Virtual Terminal High Pri)

Info User StrataCom logged out (Virtual Terminal High Pri)

Similar to the console screen, the Cisco WAN Manager and maintenance log show only the normal VT strings (listed previously).

dspslotalms

Displays statistical alarms associated with the SIU on each BPX card. The dspslotalms command displays a single line for each slot in a local BPX node occupied by a card. Both the card type and the current card alarm status appears. If a card is operating normally, the display shows "Clear - Slot OK." If fault conditions continue to cause the slot errors to exceed a preset threshold, the column labeled Current Card Alarm Status reflects this fact. The clrslotalms command clears these alarm messages if the alarm condition has disappeared. For a list of slot errors, see the dspsloterrs description.

dsptrafficgen

The dsptrafficgen command displays for a given card slot the enabled state of the Traffic Generation feature, and when enabled, the PVC on which it is enabled. You must enable this feature by using the switch software command cnftrafficgen, and it must be supported by the firmware on the card. (See the cnftrafficgen command.) The cnftrafficgen command lets you enable the Traffic Generation test in switch software, which determines if the firmware supports Traffic Generation by checking the response from the upcd command. All user levels have permission to use this command.

The dsptrafficgen command will take as input the following value:

the logical card slot number

The Traffic Generation test does not directly log alarms. To find out if traffic generation is enabled, use the dsptrafficgen command.

When the Traffic Generation or OAM Loopback test is enabled, it affects the dspchstats command results in the following ways. The "To Network" and "From Network" totals include user traffic, OAM traffic, and RM traffic. The OAM traffic is generated by the Traffic Generation and OAM Loopback tests. The "To Port" and "From Port" work as they did previous to Release 9.2.

dsptrkerrs

Displays the accumulated line error counts, by failure type, for the specified trunk(s). If you do not enter a trunk number, a one-line summary of errors for all trunks at the local node is displayed. If you enter a specific trunk number with the command, a detailed analysis, including error threshold (ETH), is displayed. Disabled trunks have their trunk number displayed in dim, reverse video on the screen.

Error rates to be concerned about are any that are incrementing. For example, a yred- switchover may cause some statistical errors. These are expected. But if there are errors happening in a stable situation, then they indicate a problem.

The clrtrkerrs command resets all error counts to 0. Table 14-61 contains a brief description of each error.

Parameter
Description

trunk number

Specifies a trunk for the error display. Without a trunk number, a summary for all physical trunks appears. To display error statistics for virtual trunks, however, you must specify a trunk number in the form slot.port.vtrk. For all physical trunk types, the trunk number is optional: entering dsptrkerrs without a trunk number lists all trunks with errors. For standard trunks, the form of a specific trunk is slot for single-trunk cards or slot.port for multi-trunk cards.


prtclnerrs

Prints the accumulated error count since the last time errors were reset. This command uses the same syntax and prints the same information as is displayed using the dspclnerrs command. The clrclnerrs command clears the error counters for circuit lines by resetting all error counts to 0.

resetcd

Resets the hardware and software for a card. The resetcd command lets you cause a switch between a primary and redundant service card that has been configured for Y-cable redundancy. (Normally, a failure would cause a switch between Y-cabled cards, but you may want to cause the switch to remove the active card to upgrade its hardware, for example.)

Do not use resetcd on an active NPC, NPM, or BCC because resetting an active controller card interrupts traffic while it boots. (Resetting a controller card does not destroy configuration information.) If a redundant controller card is present and you want to switch between controllers, use the switchcc command to switch the active controller card to standby and the standby controller card to active. You can subsequently reset the standby controller without bringing it to the active state (and therefore not disrupt service).

An example of when you might use the resetcd r command is if you ran out of memory and had no standby card. If there were a memory leak problem somewhere in the system, you might execute a resetcd r command before you run the switchcc command (if you do not have a standby card, or you are not sure of the health of the standby card if there is one), then you might execute it locally on the active processor card (BCC or NPM). Note that you do not need to enter the minus symbol before the "r" in the resetcd r command (just resetcd r) is acceptable.

The resetcd command takes an argument to indicate a hardware or failure reset. A hardware reset (resetcd h) is equivalent to physically removing and reinserting the front card and causes the card's logic to be reset. When you reset the hardware of an active card other than a controller card (an NPC, NPM, or BCC), a standby card takes over if one is available. A failure reset (resetcd f) clears the card failures associated with the specified slot. If a slot contains a front card and back card, resetcd resets both cards. A resetcd r performs a card reset on processor cards (such as an NPC, NPM, or BCC). Note when the node is in degraded mode, the "r" option is disabled.

You can use the resetcd command to initiate a hitless rebuild manually. The Hitless Rebuild feature provides the ability to effectively rebuild without affecting user traffic. It substantially decreases the time it takes for the BPX to settle into its normal operating state after a rebuild.

Previous to Release 9.2, the resetcd command accepted the options "h" for Hard Reset, "f" for Failure Reset, and "b" for Arbiter. The "b" is for BPX nodes only. A new option "r" lets you manually initiate a hitless rebuild on processor cards only. Note that the "r" option becomes disabled when the node is in degraded mode.

resetpc

The resetpc command resets a PCS attached to a specified FRM-2 or FRP-2 physical port. Concentrated links, logical ports, and all connections are temporarily suspended while the PCS hardware performs a warm boot.

Once the PCS re-establishes communication with the FRM-2 or FRP-2, logical ports are reconfigured and connections repaired. A series of messages describing each of the concentrated links failing and being re-established is generated.

switchcc

Switches the standby BCC or NPC (or NPM) card to active and the active card to standby. If a standby BCC card is not available, the command is not executed. If a standby BCC is available but is not ready to go active, a prompt asks you to confirm or abort the switch of the control card. This command was previously called switchpcc. Executing switchcc has the following effect:

Control is transferred to the standby controller card.

Any job currently running is aborted.

The user is logged off.

Immediately after the switch, the controller card that was previously active reverts to a download mode. This is indicated by the flashing front panel FAIL lamp. The system software image that is always stored in ROM is downloaded to RAM in the event that the system software was corrupted.

After this is completed, the configuration database is downloaded from the newly active controller card to complete the download. This process takes a number of minutes so this controller card is not available for standby operation until this download process is completed. The switchcc command results in a very brief interruption of all traffic. Consequently, you should use switchcc only when the network can tolerate a brief interruption.

The [f] option for the switchcc command will force a cc switchover even if there are pending updates. If you don't specify the [f] option, the system will warn you about pending updates before the switch and give you a choice to not switch over.

In support of the Hitless Rebuild feature, there is no change directly to the user command switchcc. However, if the Hitless Rebuild feature is enabled (with cnfnodeparm command), the databases needed for a hitless rebuild will be preserved during the subsequent standby rebuild. This will allow for a hitless rebuild if the new standby processor encounters a fatal hardware error shortly after the switchover.

tstcon

The tstcon command tests the integrity of an IPX or IGX data path by inserting node-generated test data. The connection service is affected for only a few seconds during the test. You can only test existing connections. One channel at a time is tested to minimize disruption. Because service is disrupted for a short time, no conditioning is applied during the test. If a failure is detected, the fault is isolated to a replaceable IPX or IGX node, and the standby card (if available) automatically goes into service. During fault isolation, conditioning is applied to both ends of the connection.

In addition to IPX and IGX routing nodes, the tstcon command can test an IPX that has been configured as an interface shelf (IPX/AF) in a tiered network but only after a local-remote loopback has been set up with the addlocrmtlp command. After testing is complete, you must remove the loopback established with addlocrmtlp by using dellp.

Table 14-65 describes the results of executing tstcon.

Table 14-65 Results of tstcon Execution 

Result
Description

Completed

Total number of tests that were run.

Aborted

Number of tests that did not run because the connection was not testable because of loopbacks or missing or failed hardware.

Failures

Number of tests that failed.

Repaired

Number of connections that failed a previous test and have passed the current test.


If you enter a range of channels (some with connections and some without), the unconnected channels are skipped. You can enter the tstcon command on the node at either end of the connection. Unlike the addloclp and addrmtlp commands, tstcon does not require external test equipment. You cannot test connections with the tstcon command if they are currently looped back with either the addloclp or addrmtlp commands.

Table 14-66 describes examples of the tstcon command with various arguments. Table 14-67 and Table 14-68 describe the required parameters and optional parameters in these examples.

For V.35 ports configured for DTE, the following three items apply:

Model D FRP, along with software Release 8.1 or higher, supports ForeSight dynamic congestion avoidance feature. The Model D FRP is required for the AIP application in system software Release 7.1. The enhanced V.35 loop back test is available with this card when using Firmware Revision F and system software 7.1.

A loopback test pattern signal (Test Mode) is transmitted to a modem or NTU to initiate a
loopback. Some modems and NTUs recognize this code but do not return the TM signal even though a loop has been set up. The FRPs, with the exception of the Model D Firmware Rev. F, wait to receive the TM signal from the external equipment before the data test is performed. If the FRP Model D Firmware Rev. F receives the TM signal return, it responds. If FRP Model D Firmware Rev. F does not receive the TM signal, it waits 10 seconds and then sends the test pattern. If the external equipment is inoperative or disconnected, the test fails. After the test is completed, transmission of the codes is terminated and the circuit returns to normal operation. The test result is displayed on the node's terminal tstport screen.

Some external equipment support loopback testing but do not recognize the loop test pattern signal (Test Mode) in the data stream. The FRP/FRI toggles the V.35 LLB (local loopback) or the LRB (remote loopback) leads and then sends the test pattern after the time-out period (10 seconds). If the external equipment is inoperative or disconnected, the test fails. The IPX or IGX control terminal displays the result of tstport execution.

tstdelay

Puts the remote end of the connection into a loopback state, requests the FRP (Frame Relay) or ASI (ATM) to generate a test packet, calculates and displays the round-trip delay (RTD). This delay includes the FRP or ASI and trunk queuing and processing delays throughout the network. The measured delay using tstdelay differs from the ForeSight RTD, which uses a high-priority packet and does not include processing and queuing delays.

Using the tstdelay command requires that the FRP is at least a Model D. This test interrupts transmission on the connection during the test. Test results appear at the bottom of the screen (this may include a timeout message, as in Example 1).

Testing an IPX or IGX node that has been configured as an interface shelf requires execution of addlocrmtlp prior to tstdelay and a tstdelay parameter that applies only to tiered networks (see optional parameter table). After testing is complete, the loopback established with addlocrmtlp must be removed by dellp.

tstpcs

The tstpcs command tests the data path for PCS ports for a selected module. The port parameter specifies the particular PCS module. The port parameter specifies an FRM-2 or FRP-2 physical port to which one of the PCS modules connects.

Upon command entry, each of the 11 ports for the PCS goes into a loop state. In this state, data goes to each port and loops back to the PCS module. Test frames go to a port and are checked for integrity when they return. The test frames also go out on the port.

During this test, any Frame Relay connection data received by the FRM-2 or FRP-2 destined for one of the ports is discarded. The other three Port Concentrator modules are unaffected. After the test, the port is returned to its previous configuration.

The PCS tests available RAM, and sets each of the 11 ports into a loop mode. Ten frames of data are sent to each port and checked to make sure the same frames are received in entirety and in order.

During a test, the dsppcs screen shows "Testing" then either "Passed" or "Failed." The test takes about 15 seconds.

Parameter
Description

slot.port

Slot is the location of an FRM-2 or FRP-2 card. Port selects the physical port to which a PCS module connects. The range for port is 1-4.


tstport

Executes a port loopback test on the specified data port. Using tstport without the optional parameter performs an internal test. The loopback for the internal test is performed on the IPX or IGX back card and is used to test just the IPX or IGX front and back cards. The test disables the communications for that port and the back card is placed into a loopback mode. The applicable card sets for the tstport command are the FRP, FRM, SDP, HDM, LDP, and LDM. The card under test sends several frames of data to the port on the interface card, loops them back, and checks their integrity.

If connections exist on the port being tested, the dspcons screen appears. If no connections are present, the dspfrport screen appears. A flashing T in the connections screen indicates those connections affected by the test. Either a "(" character or a ")" character indicates the loopback in the dspfrport. If a local or remote test fails, the port itself is automatically tested (internal) to determine if the IPX or IGX node caused the failure. The following are example command lines:

tstport 5.3

internal loopback port test—this is the default loopback

tstport 5.3 n

near external port loopback test

tstport 5.3 f

far external port loopback test.


For a Frame Relay port or an LDP or LDM port, an external loopback may be placed at the near (local) or far (remote) modem during the test. For a DDS port, the external loopback is a CSU or DSU loopback at the remote DSU device. If an external port loopback test fails, the internal port loopback test is executed to determine if the IPX or IGX node caused the failure. The cnfict command can be used to specify the interface control lead template used to condition the output control leads during loopback.

The local and remote modem tests that test the near end and far end modems or NTUs require the IPX or IGX back card to operate as a DTE, so the modem acts as a DCE in this case. The back card asserts the local or remote loopback pin of the V.35 port. For X.21 ports, which do not have a loopback pin defined, the back card sends a loopback command in the data stream to cause the NTU to go into loopback mode. The test then begins.

The loopback test operation sends several frames of test data, receives them back, compares them, and verifies their integrity. The loopback pin subsequently returns to the inactive state, and the modems return to normal operation. The local or remote test works with only those modems that recognize a local and remote loopback command.

Before starting a test, the user must be sure the cabling is correct for the specific equipment. The test conventions are described in CCITT V.54 and X.21 specifications. Only the near (n) and far (f) options are available for the Model C SDP. If the near or far tests fail, no internal test is executed on the SDP to isolate the problem. The SDP is not failed due to a tstport failure.
