T1/E1 & T3/E3 Error Events Analysis

This section describes various error events that can occur on controller lines and provides troubleshooting information to fix some of these errors. The show controller command displays the status and statistics specific to the hardware. This information is useful for diagnostic tasks.

All problems that can occur are captured by the underlying hardware and reported by the show controller output. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can perform with a flowchart displaying troubleshooting actions.
