Chapter 28 Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting the BPX Switch

Loopback Tests

Various loopback paths can be set up to help diagnose transmission problems. These rely on the use of
external test equipment to provide the source of a test signal.

The available loopback commands are listed in Table 28-4.

You set up a local loopback path (LL) in the local node at the Frame Relay Module (FRM) card
associated with the port or connection to be tested. You then apply a test signal to the input. This passes
through the associated Interface Card (FRI), is sent to the FRM card over the system bus where it is
looped back toward the input. This tests the cabling and the local node processing of the signal.

Test Port (

tstport

)—Frame Relay

Tests the operation of the selected Frame Relay port on the node.

Test Port (

tstport

)—data

Same as above except for synchronous data ports.

Display Connection States (

dspconst

)

Displays in real-time the status of all voice connections terminating at a specified
node.

Display Breakout Box
(

dspbob

)—Frame Relay

Displays in real-time the status of data and control leads on selected Frame Relay
connection.

Display Breakout Box (

dspbob

)—data Same as above for synchronous data connections.

Display Breakout Box
(

dspbob

)—trunk

Same as above for network subrate trunks.

Display Buses (

dspbuses

)

Displays the status of system buses.

Display Slot Errors (

dspsloterrs

)

Displays any data errors associated with the slots in a BPX node.

Display Slot Alarms (

dspslotalms

)

Displays any alarms associated with the slots in a BPX node.

Display Trunk Errors (

dsptrkerrs

)

Displays any data errors associated with the network trunks connected to a node.

back to the receive side at the local node.

Add Local Loopback (

addloclp

)—voice

Adds a loopback path for an individual voice channel on a circuit line at
the local node.

Add Remote Loopback (

addrmtlp

)—Frame

Relay port

Adds a loopback path at the Frame Relay port from the transmit side back
to the receive side at the remote node.

Add Remote Loopback (

addrmtlp

)—Frame

Relay connection

Same as above except for an individual Frame Relay connection.

Add Remote Loopback (

addrmtlp

)—data

Adds a loopback path at the synchronous data port from the transmit side
back to the receive side at the remote node.
