Chapter 5 Configuring POS on the ML-Series Card
Configuring the POS Interface
To determine which alarms are reported on the POS interface and to display the bit error rate (BER)
thresholds, use the show controllers pos command, as described in the “Monitoring and Verifying POS”
section on page 5-8.
Configuring SONET Delay Triggers
You can set path alarms listed as triggers to bring down the line protocol of the POS interface. When you
configure the path alarms as triggers, you can also specify a delay for the triggers using the pos trigger
delay command. You can set the delay from 200 to 2000 ms. If you do not specify a time interval, the
default delay is set to 200 ms.
Command Purpose
Step 1 Router(config)# interface pos
number
Enters interface configuration mode and specifies the POS
interface to configure.
Step 2 Router(config-if)# pos report
{all | encap | pais | plop | ppdi
| pplm | prdi | ptim | puneq |
sd-ber-b3 | sf-ber-b3}
Permits console logging of selected SONET alarms. Use the
no form of the command to disable reporting of a specific
alarm.
The alarms are as follows:
allAll alarms/signals
encap—Path encapsulation mismatch
pais—Path alarm indication signal
plop—Path loss of pointer
ppdi—Path payload defect indication
pplm—Payload label, C2 mismatch
prdi—Path remote defect indication
ptim—Path trace identifier mismatch
puneq—Path label equivalent to zero
sd-ber-b3—PBIP BER in excess of SD threshold
sf-ber-b3—PBIP BER in excess of SF threshold
Step 3 Router(config-if)# end Returns to the privileged EXEC mode.
Step 4 Router# copy running-config
startup-config
(Optional) Saves configuration changes to NVRAM.
