Chapter 4 Configuring the PA-POS-1OC3

Checking the Configuration

Using the show interfaces Command

Display status information (including the physical slot and interface address) for the interfaces you specifyusing the show interfaces command.

For complete descriptions of interface subcommands and the configuration options available, refer to the publications listed in the “Related Documentation” section on page viii.

Note The ouputs that appear in this document may not match the output you receive when running these commands. The outputs in this document are examples only.

The following sections provide output of the show interfaces command for some of the supported platforms:

Following is an example of the show interfaces pos command for a PA-POS-1OC3 in port adapter slot

4 of a Cisco 7200 VXR router:

Router# show interfaces pos 4/0 PE3#sh int pos4/1

POS4/1 is down, line protocol is down Hardware is Packet over Sonet Internet address is 142.50.8.3/24

Note For the Cisco 7206 VXR router shelves in the Cisco AS5800 Universal Access Router, the show interfaces pos command requires a shelf number in the format show interfaces pos shelf-number/port-adapter-slot-number/interface-port. For example, the command show interfaces pos 5/3/0 specifies the OC-3 interface of a PA-POS-1OC3 in port adapter slot 3 of router shelf 5.

PA-POS-1OC3, PA-POS-2OC3 specifications

Cisco Systems has long been at the forefront of networking technology, providing solutions that empower organizations to enhance their connectivity and communication capabilities. Among its impressive lineup, the PA-POS-2OC3 and PA-POS-1OC3 modules stand out as significant components designed to optimize performance in service provider and enterprise environments.

The PA-POS-2OC3 and PA-POS-1OC3 modules are designed for use with the Cisco 7600 Series routers and are tailored for Packet Over SONET (POS) transport. Supporting the OC-3 speed of 155.52 Mbps, these modules provide reliable high-speed connectivity, enabling organizations to efficiently manage data traffic and ensure rapid data transfer across their networks. The PA-POS-2OC3 offers dual OC-3 capabilities, allowing for higher aggregate bandwidth and redundancy options, making it common in demanding network environments.

One of the main features of the PA-POS-2OC3 and PA-POS-1OC3 is their enhanced support for advanced networking protocols, including MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching). MPLS facilitates efficient data routing and improves bandwidth utilization by enabling multiple types of traffic to be consolidated over a single network. This is crucial for organizations looking to deploy services like VoIP, video conferencing, and other bandwidth-intensive applications.

The modules also offer robust error correction and monitoring capabilities, which are essential for maintaining service quality in mission-critical applications. Administrators can monitor performance and diagnose issues in real-time, enabling swift responses to potential concerns that could disrupt service.

Moreover, the PA-POS-2OC3 and PA-POS-1OC3 are designed with features that support enterprise-grade security and scalability. This is particularly beneficial for organizations expecting growth or requiring enhanced protection for sensitive data as it traverses the network.

In summary, Cisco's PA-POS-2OC3 and PA-POS-1OC3 modules represent essential building blocks for high-speed networking solutions. Their support for OC-3 connectivity, advanced routing protocols, and robust monitoring capabilities make them ideal for both service providers and enterprises. Through increased scalability, improved bandwidth management, and enhanced security, these modules allow organizations to adapt to the ever-evolving landscape of data communications effectively. With Cisco at the helm, businesses can trust in a networking solution that not only meets current demands but is also primed for future growth.
