Chapter 4 Configuring Interfaces

Configuring the POS OC-12c Uplink Interface (Catalyst 8540)

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.

 

Router(config-if)#

 

Step 2

 

 

Router(config-if)# pos report

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

 

 

Router(config-if)# pos delay

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 OC-12c uplink interface, use the following commands:

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.
