SYS-LINK (System Links)
Issue 4 May 2002 10-1601 555-233-123
To correct the problem, follow the Common Procedure described above.
Clear errors and wait for 10 minutes.
f. This error indicates that the link has experienced slow transmit rate due to
remote endpoint being busy. Manifest effect of this error is that the
end-point location may experience slower throughput rate and/or noisy
transmission. The system link is alarmed if 4 or more errors of this type are
detected within 10 minutes.
To correct the problem, ensure that the remote endpoint is functioning
properly. If the problem persists, follow the Common Procedure described
above. Clear errors and wait for 10 minutes.
g. This error indicates that the link has experienced slow transmit rate due to
excessive retransmission. Possible causes for this error may be that the
switch is overrunning the end-point or that the end-point is sick. Manifest
effect of this error is that the end-point location may experience slower
throughput rate. The system link is alarmed if 4 or more errors of this type
are detected within 10 minutes.
To correct the problem, follow the Common Procedure described above.
Clear errors and wait for 10 minutes.
h. This error indicates that the link has experienced slow transmit rate due to
unknown causes. Manifest effect of this error is that the end-point location
may experience slower throughput rate and the Packet Interface may
experience backup or congestion. The system link is alarmed if 4 or more
errors of this type are detected within 10 minutes.
To correct the problem, follow the Common Procedure described above.
Clear errors and wait for 10 minutes.
i. This error indicates that the link has transmitted an excess amount of
packets. The transmit buffers of this link have been purged. The system
link is alarmed if 4 or more errors of this type are detected within 10
minutes.
To correct the problem, follow the Common Procedure described above.
Clear errors and wait for 10 minutes.
System Technician-Demanded Tests: Descriptions
and Error Codes
Testing for system links is different from the standard test procedures for
maintenance objects. In addition to testing the system link maintenance object,
the user is allowed to test all the components in the path of the system link. There
are two paths preserved for the link. The current path, if present, represents the
path traversed by the link currently. This path will not be present when the link is
down. The other path, the faulted path is present if the link has ever gone down or
never come up. If the link came up and went down, then the faulted path is
marked “Present”. If the link never came up, the faulted path is marked “Default”.
Either case, it represents the path on which the link was attempted or established
unsuccessfully.
