The following display shows a typ ical result when status bri-port is entered.
Layer 1
State The operational state of the physical c onnection (Layer 1) of the ISDN
link carried over the port:
activated = Layer 1 frames are being passed between the p ort and
BRI endpoints.
pend-activation = The port is in service, the layer 1 interfac e device
is turned on and layer 1 frames are being sent from the port, but the BRI
endpoints are not respond ing.
deactivated = The layer 1 interface devic e on the BRI has been
turned off due to the port b eing out of service.
TEI Value The Terminal Endpoint Identifier (TEI) is a layer 2 addressing p arameter
used by the switch to exc hange information with BRI endpoints over the
point-to-point signaling link. The TEI is a number from 1 to 127.
Layer2
State The operational state of the point-to-point signaling link (Layer 2):
assigned = The link is currently in the AWAIT_EST (Await Establish)
state at layer 2. If the BRI endpoint supp orts TEI allocation procedures,
those procedures have been successfully exec uted and a TEI has been
assigned to the endp oint by the switch.
established = The link is in the MF_EST_NORM (Multi-F rame
Established Normal) state at layer 2. The switch h as successfully
started the link and is now c apable of exchangin g layer 3 frames with
the endpoint. If the endp oint does not support SPID initialization
procedures, the voic e extension of the endpoint assoc iated with the link
is also displayed. This is the normal state for a link in a point-to-point
wiring configuration.
L3-established = The link is in the MF_EST_NORM state at layer 2
and SPID initialization procedures h ave been successfully c ompleted.
The voice extension of the endpoint assoc iated with the link is also
displayed. This is the normal state for a link in a multi-point wiring
configuration.
hyperactive = Traffic on this link has excee ded the threshold and the
link has been suspended .
Endpt
Extension The extension of the voice/data endp oint associated with the link. This
field is blank if the link is not in the established or L3-established
state.
Endpt SPID The SPID (Service Profile Identifier) administered for the voice/d ata
endpoint. This field is b lank if the link is not in the established or
L3-established state.
Service
SPID? If the link is associated with the Service SPID this field disp lays yes and
the Endpoint Extension field is blank. Otherwis e this field is blank.
Service SPID is a feature used by servic e technicians to chec k building
wiring between the switch an d the BRI endpoint.
