Note: Statistics displayed with the show controllers command are reset every 24 hours. That is, once the port or line is created with the controller command, the 24-hour timer starts.

Slip Seconds Counter Increasing

If slip seconds are present on the T1/E1 or T3/E3 line, usually there is a clocking problem. Complete the following steps to correct this problem:

1.Ensure the clock source is derived from the network (source clocking extracted from the line).

2.Set the T1/E1 or T3/E3 clock source from Controller mode if needed.
