Diagnosing

Problems

with

ATM

Ports

 

 

 

 

If

all

ATM

modules are operationalconnected,(hardware okay, andnormal displayed

 

with SHOW MODULE VERBOSE), the cause of the problem may be due to an

inoperational

ATM

port. To

see if the ATM ports

on a given

module

are

functioning

correctly,

use

the

SHOW

MODULE and SHOW PORT commands to

display

port

status.

Any

of

the

following

types of port status may

appear:

 

 

 

Unknown

Error

No Activity

Not In Service

Okay

Okay PVC-Only.

The

problem

associated with

each port status (except for Okay) and the action to ta

to

solve it

are described

below.

Status: Unknown

Explanation: Port status is not available because port is not reachable.

Steps to Take:

1.Use the SHOW MODULE command to check if the ATM media module is connected to the 6416SW module.

2.If the ATM media module is not connected, use the SET MODULE command to set

thenetwork parameterconnectedto .

If the module is connected, reset it using the RESET MODULE command.

3. The

FPGA

of

the

module is not compatible with the FPGA or microcode of the

6416SW. Check

the

prerequisites in the release Note..

4. If

the

problem

persists, replace the ATM media module.
