Monitoring Operations on the Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces
Monitoring Operations on the Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces
To verify the settings after you have configured the interfaces, enter the show interface command. For
additional information about monitoring the operations on POS interfaces, see the “Configuring POS”
chapter.
Example 4-8 shows the output from the show interface command, which displays the status of the
interface including port speed and duplex operation.
Example 4-8 show interface Command Output
Router# show interface fastEthernet 0
FastEthernet1 is administratively down, line protocol is down
Hardware is epif_port, address is 000d.bd5c.4c85 (bia 000d.bd5c.4c85)
MTU 1500 bytes, BW 100000 Kbit, DLY 100 usec,
reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255
Encapsulation ARPA, loopback not set
Keepalive set (10 sec)
Auto-duplex, Auto Speed, 100BaseTX
ARP type: ARPA, ARP Timeout 04:00:00
Last input never, output never, output hang never
Last clearing of "show interface" counters never
Input queue: 0/75/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 0
Queueing strategy: fifo
Output queue: 0/40 (size/max)
5 minute input rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec
5 minute output rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec
0 packets input, 0 bytes
Received 0 broadcasts (0 IP multicast)
0 runts, 0 giants, 0 throttles
0 input errors, 0 CRC, 0 frame, 0 overrun, 0 ignored
0 watchdog, 0 multicast
0 input packets with dribble condition detected
0 packets output, 0 bytes, 0 underruns
0 output errors, 0 collisions, 0 interface resets
0 babbles, 0 late collision, 0 deferred
0 lost carrier, 0 no carrier
0 output buffer failures, 0 output buffers swapped out
Step 3 Router(config)#int pos0
Router(config-if)#trigger crc-error delay
<soak_time_in_minutes>
Sets the number of consecutive minutes for which
excessive CRC errors should be seen to raise an
excessive CRC indication. The valid values are
from 3 minutes to 10 minutes. Default is
10minutes.
Step 4
Router(config-if)#no trigger crc-error
delay <soak_time_in_minutes>
Sets the soak value back to the default of 10
minutes.
Step 5 Router(config)#int pos0
Router(config-if)#trigger crc-error action
Enable trigger action. This configuration will
bring the interface down on seeing CRC errors
greater than configured <threshold value> for soak
time period.
Step 6 Router(config-if)#no trigger crc-error
action
Disables trigger action.
