If there are no standby pac ket interface circuit p acks, or if the standb y is
inaccessible (d ue to handshake failure, incomp lete memory refresh, or locking of
the SPEs) the standby packet-interface c ircuit packs will b e in the uninstalled
state.
When a packet-interface c ircuit pack is out-of- service or uninstalled, it is not u sed
to establish and maintain links. When the circ uit pack returns to in-servic e status,
new links are again assigned to it.
For sim plex SPE syste ms, i nform ation for o nly th e A ca rrier pac ket- inter fac e is
display e d. For du pl i ca t e d SPE s y stems, i f t h e s tandby is i n a cce ssible be ca u s e of
handshake failure or locking o f carriers, the standby p acket-interface c ircuit
packs will be in the uninstal led state.
Output
Separate columns identify eac h packet interface c ircuit pack sl ot. Service state is
displayed for b oth active and standb y packet-interfac e circuit pac ks. Dashes in
output fields for the stand by SPE indicate that link information is not app licable to
standby pac ket-interface circuit p acks.
Location The packet-interface cab inet, carrier and c ircuit pack p osition number.
Service
State One of the following states is disp layed: "in-service", "out-of-service" or
"uninstalled". The "standby" state is used in place of "in-service" for
standby pac ket-interface circuit packs.
Total links The total number of links.
Active
links The number of links that are in use.
Failed
links The number of links that failed to be est ablished. These links are in a
recovery state and not acti ve. The failures can arise from problems in
the packet-interface, EI or center s tage hardware. The number of failed
links is the number of total links minus the numb er of active links.
