System-Wide Problems
A trunk or subtending port
fails to come up (OC-3c
or E3).
1.
Check the cable connections at both ends. Refer to
“” section on page B-2
to check pinouts.
2.
To check the interface status and configuration, enter
show interface atm
slot#
/
port#
.
Check the following in the resulting display:
–
If the port Admin Status is down, enter the commands below to correct the problem,
replacing slot/port ID atm 0/1 with your slot/port ID:
DSLAM>
configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.
End with CNTL/Z.
DSLAM(config-if)#
int atm 0/1
DSLAM(config-if)#
no shutdown
DSLAM(config-if)#
–
If the port IF Status is down, check for disconnected or faulty cables. (Optical cables
connect to the NI-2 card; E3 coaxial cables connect to the I/O module on the front of
the chassis.)
–
If the Line Protocol is down, the line protocol software processes might have
determined that the line is unusable. Try swapping the cable. Another possibility is that
clocking might be misconfigured, or the clocking source might have failed.
–
Check the CRC field. The presence of many CRC errors but not many collisions is an
indication of excessive noise. If the number is too high (greater than 0.5 to 2 percent of
total traffic on the interface), check the cables to determine if any are damaged.
If you need more information on interface configuration, refer to the
Configuration Guide
for Cisco DSLAMs with NI-2
and the
ATM Switch Router Software Configuration Guide
.
3.
For an E3 interface: enter
show controllers atm
slot#
/
port#
. Check the following in the
resulting display:
–
Framing mode must be the same at both ends of the connection.
–
Cell payload scrambling must be on at both ends of the connection.
4.
Check the status and configuration of the interface at the far end.
5.
If you need to run a loopback test, do the following:
–
In interface configuration mode, enter
loopback diagnostic
or
loopback line
.
–
Set the external test equipment to loop data through the Cisco 6260 port.
–
Obtain loopback results from your external test equipment.
–
Enter
no loopback diagnostic
to take the port out of loopback mode.
6.
In interface configuration mode, reset the trunk port by executing the
shutdown
command
followed by the
no shutdown
command.
7.
Replace the NI-2 card.
8.
If the problem with an E3 interface persists, troubleshoot the I/O module. See the
“I/O
Module Problems” section on page 5-14
.
