Troubleshooting the Link Interface Subsystem

Check the following to help isolate a problem in the link interface subsystem.

In general, the case where no traffic is coming out of the SCE 2000 is often caused by link

problems or GBE interface configuration. Note that in some cases, the problem which seems as a

transmit problem could be in the Rx (no traffic is being received by the SCE 2000 or there is

actually no traffic on the line, which could be a normal situation).

Note In CLI commands of GigabitEthernet interfaces, # stands for the number of the interface. This can be 1
through 4.

Problems in the link interface subsystem could be any of the following:

Link is down. (LINK LED not lit and system status is WARNING)
Peer does not receive traffic from SCE 2000 (GBE link is lit and Tx LED is flashing)
GBE link is up but not receiving from peer (GBE link is lit, but Rx LED is not flashing)

Symptom Diagnostic Action Possible Cause Possible Solution
Link is down. (LINK
LED not lit)
Status is WARNING
(Status LED is
flashing orange)
Output counters not
incrementing.
CLI command:
show interface
GigabitEthernet
0/# counters
Connector is not connected
to the platform or to the
network.
Reconnect the cable to the GBE port
and to network.
GBE cable is broken.
Reconnect / replace the cable to the
GBE port.
If GBE counters are incrementing,
this indicates LED problem. Contact
customer support.
