Chapter 13 Configuring the 2-Port and 4-Port T3/E3 SPAs

Configuration Tasks

Configuring Framing

Framing is used to synchronize data transmission on the line. Framing allows the hardware to determine when each packet starts and ends. To configure framing, use the following commands.

Command

Purpose

 

 

Router# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

 

 

Router(config)# interface serial slot/subslot/port

Selects the interface to configure.

 

slot/subslot/port— Specifies the location of the

 

 

T3/E3 interface. See the: “Specifying the

 

 

Interface Address on a SPA” section on

 

 

page 13-5

 

 

T3:

Sets the framing on the interface.

Router(config-if)# framing {bypass c-bit

bypass—Configure framing bypass to use the

m13}

 

full T3 or E3 bandwidth

E3:

c-bit—Specifies C-bit parity framing. This is

Router(config-if)# framing {bypass g751

 

the default for T3.

 

 

g832}

m13—Specifies M13 framing.

 

g751— Specifies g751 framing. This is the

 

 

default for E3.

 

g832—Specifies g832 framing.

 

 

 

Verifying Framing Configuration

Use the show controllers serial command to display the framing method:

router# show controllers serial 6/0/0 Serial6/0/0 -

Framing is c-bit, Clock Source is Line

Bandwidth limit is 44210, DSU mode 0, Cable length is 10 rx FEBE since last clear counter 2, since reset 0

Data in current interval (546 seconds elapsed):

0 Line Code Violations, 0 P-bit Coding Violation 0 C-bit Coding Violation

0 P-bit Err Secs, 0 P-bit Sev Err Secs

0 Sev Err Framing Secs, 0 Unavailable Secs

0 Line Errored Secs, 0 C-bit Errored Secs, 0 C-bit Sev Err Secs Data in Interval 1:

0 Line Code Violations, 0 P-bit Coding Violation 0 C-bit Coding Violation

0 P-bit Err Secs, 0 P-bit Sev Err Secs

0 Sev Err Framing Secs, 0 Unavailable Secs

0 Line Errored Secs, 0 C-bit Errored Secs, 0 C-bit Sev Err Secs
