Chapter 4 Configuring Interfaces
Configuring the POS 
To configure a delay in triggering the line protocol of the interface from going down, perform the following steps beginning in global configuration mode:
| 
 | Command | Purpose | 
| Step 1 | 
 | 
 | 
| Router(config)# interface pos | Enters interface configuration mode and specifies the POS | |
| 
 | slot/subslot/interface | interface to configure. | 
| 
 | 
 | |
| Step 2 | 
 | 
 | 
| Permits console logging of selected SONET alarms. | ||
| 
 | {lais pais plop prdi slof | The alarms are as follows: | 
| 
 | slos} | |
| 
 | • lais (line alarm indication signal) | |
| 
 | 
 | |
| 
 | 
 | • pais (path alarm indication signal) | 
| 
 | 
 | • plop (path loss of pointer) | 
| 
 | 
 | • prdi (path remote defect indication) | 
| 
 | 
 | • slof (section loss of frame) | 
| 
 | 
 | • slos (section loss of signal) | 
| 
 | 
 | The slof and slos errors are reported by default. | 
| Step 3 | 
 | 
 | 
| Delays triggering the line protocol of the interface from going | ||
| 
 | triggers {line path} millisecond | down. Delay can be set from 50 to 10000 ms. If no time intervals | 
| 
 | 
 | are specified, the default delay is set to 100 ms. |

Verifying the POS Configuration
To verify the configuration of the POS 
| Command | Purpose | 
| 
 | 
 | 
| show interfaces pos [slot/subslot/interface] | Displays detailed information about the POS | 
| 
 | interface. | 
| 
 | 
 | 
| show protocols pos [slot/subslot/interface] | Displays status information for the active network | 
| 
 | protocols | 
| 
 | 
 | 
| show controllers pos [slot/subslot/interface] | Displays clock source, SONET alarms and error | 
| 
 | rates, and register values to assist in | 
| 
 | troubleshooting. |
