Configuring Unchannelized mode for the Cisco PA-MC-2T3+
To continue your Cisco PA-MC-2T3+ port adapter installation, you must configure the PA-MC-2T3+ interface. The instructions that follow apply to all supported platforms. Minor differences between the platforms—with Cisco IOS software commands—are noted.
This chapter contains the following sections:
•Using the EXEC Command Interpreter
•Replacing an Existing Port Adapter
•Configuring an Unchannelized T3 Link
•Configuring the T3 Controller
•Performing a Basic Serial Interface Configuration
•Checking the Configuration
Using the EXEC Command Interpreter
You modify the configuration of your router through the software command interpreter called the EXEC (also called enable mode). You must enter the privileged level of the EXEC command interpreter with the enable command before you can use the configure command to configure a new interface or change the existing configuration of an interface. The system prompts you for a password if one has been set.
The system prompt for the privileged level ends with a pound sign (#) instead of an angle bracket (>). At the console terminal, use the following procedure to enter the privileged level:
Step 1 At the user-level EXEC prompt, enter the enable command. The EXEC prompts you for a privileged-level password as follows:
Step 2 Enter the password (the password is case sensitive). For security purposes, the password is not displayed.
When you enter the correct password, the system displays the privileged-level system prompt (#):
Replacing an Existing Port Adapter
Before you remove or replace a port adapter, use the shutdown command to disable the port adapter to prevent anomalies when you remove and reinstall the port adapter. When you shut down an interface, it is designated administratively down in the show command displays.
Follow these steps to shut down an interface:
Step 1 Enter the privileged level of the EXEC command interpreter (also called enable mode). (See the "Using the EXEC Command Interpreter" section for instructions.)
Step 2 At the privileged-level prompt, enter configuration mode and specify that the console terminal is the source of the configuration subcommands, as follows:
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Shutting Down the T3 Controller
Step 3 Shut down the T3 controller on the PA-MC-2T3+ with the controller command:
shutdown
This command sends a DS3 idle signal toward the network. You can bring the T3 controller back up with the no shutdown controller command.
Examples follow:
•The example that follows is for a port adapter on a VIP in interface processor slot 1 of the Cisco 7500 series router:
Router(config)# controller T3 1/0/0
Router(config-controller)# shutdown
Router(config)# controller T3 1/0/1
Router(config-controller)# shutdown
•The example that follows is for a port adapter in slot 1 of the Cisco 7200 series routers:
Router(config)# controller T3 1/0
Router(config-controller)# shutdown
Router(config)# controller T3 1/1
Router(config-controller)# shutdown
Note Both T3 ports of the PA-MC-2T3+ should be shut down before removing the port adapter.
Step 4 Verify that the two T3 ports are now shut down using the
show controller T3 command shown in the following examples:
The following example is for a PA-MC-2T3+ in port adapter slot 6 of a Cisco 7200 series router.
Router(config-controller)# end
Router# show controller T3 6/0
T3 6/0 is administratively down.
Router# show controller T3 6/1
T3 6/1 is administratively down.
The following example is for a PA-MC-2T3+ in port adapter slot 1 of a VIP in a Cisco 7500 series router.
Router(config-controller)# end
Router# show controller T3 1/1/0
T3 1/1/0 is administratively down.
Router# show controller T3 1/1/1
T3 1/1/1 is administratively down.
Step 5 Save the shutdown configuration to nonvolatile memory.
Router# copy running-config startup-config
Step 6 Replace the port adapter in the slot. See the "Port Adapter Removal and Installation" section on page 3-4 for more information.
Step 7 Re enable the port adapter by doing the following:
a. Repeat Step 3 to renewable an interface but substitute the no shutdown command for the shutdown command.
b. Repeat Step 4 to verify that the interfaces are in the correct state and no longer shut down. Use the
show controller T3 command.
c. Repeat Step 5 to write the new configuration to memory.
Use the copy running-config startup-config command.
For complete descriptions of software configuration commands, refer to the publications listed in the "Related Documentation" section on page viii.
Configuring an Unchannelized T3 Link
If you installed a new PA-MC-2T3+ or if you want to change the configuration of an existing PA-MC-2T3+ link, you must enter the privileged level of the EXEC command interpreter and then use the configure command. If you replace a PA-MC-2T3+ that was previously configured, the system recognizes the new PA-MC-2T3+ link and brings it up in its existing configuration.
After you verify that the new PA-MC-2T3+ is installed correctly (the enabled LED goes on), use the privileged-level configure command to configure the new interface. Be prepared with the information you need, such as the following:
•Protocols you plan to route on each new interface
•IP addresses, if you plan to configure the interfaces for IP routing
The configure command requires privileged-level access to the EXEC command interpreter, which usually requires a password. Contact your system administrator if necessary to obtain EXEC-level access.
Configuring the T3 Controller
This section provides procedures and examples for configuring the T3 controller on the PA-MC-2T3+, and includes information on the following topics:
•Selecting a T3 Controller
•Setting Unchannelized Mode for the T3 Controller
•Setting the Framing Type for the Serial Interface
•Specifying the Cable Length for the Serial Interface
•Setting the Clock Source for the Serial Interface
•Configuring MDL Messages for the Serial Interface
•Examples of MDL Message Configuration
•Configuring Loopback Mode for the Serial Interface
•Configuring the T3 controller to Enable Loopbacks
•Shutting Down the T3 Controller
•Configuring a BER Test on the T3 Controller
•Sending a BER Test Pattern on the T3 Line
•Viewing the Results of a BER Test
•Terminating a BER Test
Selecting a T3 Controller
You must enter the following controller command, before any other configuration commands, to select the T3 controller you want to configure:
controller T3 interface-processor-slot/port-adapter-slot/T3-port for Cisco 7500 series router
controller T3 chassis-slot/T3-port for Cisco 7200 series router
controller T3 chassis-slot/T3-port for Cisco 7301 series router
controller T3 chassis-slot/T3-port for Cisco 7401ASR router
Examples of selecting the T3 controller follow:
•The example that follows is for a port adapter on a VIP in interface processor slot 1:
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)# controller T3 1/0/0
Router(config-controller)#
•The example that follows is for a port adapter in slot 1 of the Cisco 7200 series routers:
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)# controller t3 1/0
Router(config-controller)#
Setting Unchannelized Mode for the T3 Controller
To configure the T3 for unchannelized mode, use the no channelized command. After the full-rate T3 interface is configured, use the dsu bandwidth command to create a subrate T3 interface. The following example configures a subrate T3 interface on a PA-MC-2T3+ in port adapter slot 1 of a Cisco 7200 series router.
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)# controller t3 1/0
Router (config)# no channelized
Router (config-controller)# exit
Router (config)# interface serial 1/0
Router (config-if)# dsu bandwidth 16000
Router (config-if)# encapsulation frame-relay
Router (config-if)# ip address 10.10.10.10 255.255.255.255
Router (config-if)# no shutdown
The following example is for a PA-MC-2T3+ in port adapter slot 1 of a VIP in a Cisco 7500 series router.
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)# controller T3 1/1/0
Router (config)# no channelized
Change to subrate mode will cause cbus complex reset. Proceed? [yes/no]:
Y
Router(config)# interface serial 1/1/0
Router(config-if)# encapsulation ppp
Router(config-if)# ip address 10.10.10.10.10 255.255.255.255
Router(config)# no shutdown
When the PA-MC-2T3+ is configured for unchannelized T3 mode, its default MTU size is set to 4470 for compatibility with other T3 equipment and port adapters.
Caution
The change in MTU sizes will cause a memory recarve and cbus complex to occur, disrupting all traffic on the router for several minutes. (This occurs only on Cisco 7500 series routers.)
The following message will be displayed when switching from channelized to unchannelized mode on Cisco 7500 series routers:
Change to subrate mode will cause cbus complex reset. Proceed? [yes/no]:
Y
Type Y for `yes' at the end of the warning. At the prompt, type ^Z to exit. This will allow you to exit configuration mode and enter unchannelized mode.
Setting the T3 port to unchannelized mode creates a serial interface which the following commands may be used to configure. Use the interface serial command to select the serial interface.
router# configure terminal
router# interface serial 1/0/1
Setting the Framing Type for the Serial Interface
In interface configuration mode, specify T3 framing by entering the {c-bit | m13} configuration subcommand, as in the following example:
router(config-if)# framing {c-bit | m13}
where:
•c-bit—C-bit parity DS3 framing
•m13—M13 Multiplex DS3 framing
Use the no form of this command to return to the default, C-bit framing.
Specifying the Cable Length for the Serial Interface
At the prompt, specify the cable length using the interface command:
cablelength feet
where:
•feet is a numeral from 0 to 450.
•The default value is 10 feet.
An example follows:
Router(config-if)# cablelength 40
Note For the cablelength feet command, user-specified T3 cable lengths are structured into ranges as follows: 0-49 and 50-450 to represent short and long cables.
If the numerical value entered by the user falls within the lower range, then the PA-MC-2T3+ T3 port is set for short cable output levels. If the value falls into higher range, the long cable output levels will be used.
In the preceding example, a cable length of 40 is specified, which means that the 0-49 range is used. If you change the cable length to 45, then the 0-49 range still applies. Further, if you specify a cable length of 100 or 200, the 50-450 range applies in both cases. Only moving from one range (0-49) to the other range (50-450) has an effect. The actual cable-length number you enter is stored in the configuration file. It is recommended that the actual cable length be entered to ensure future compatibility.
Setting the Clock Source for the Serial Interface
At the prompt, set the internal or line clock source for the selected T3 controller with the interface command:
clock source {line | internal}
Where:
line—selects a network clock source
internal—selects an internal clock source
The default is clock source internal.
Examples follow:
•Instruct the PA-MC-2T3+ to use a line clock source.
The example that follows is for a port adapter on a VIP in interface processor slot 1:
Router(config)# interface serial 1/0/0
Router(config-if)# clock source line
The example that follows is for a port adapter in slot 1 of the Cisco 7200 series routers:
Router(config)# interface serial 1/0
Router(config-if)# clock source line
•Instruct the PA-MC-2T3+ to use an internal clock source.
The example that follows is for a port adapter on a VIP in interface processor slot 1:
Router(config)# interface serial 1/0/0
Router(config-if)# clock source internal
The example that follows is for a port adapter in slot 1 of the Cisco 7200 series routers:
Router(config)# interface serial 1/0
Router(config-if)# clock source internal
Configuring MDL Messages for the Serial Interface
You can configure Maintenance Data Link (MDL) messages (which are defined in the ANSI T1.107a-1990 specification) on the PA-MC-2T3+.
Note MDL messages are only supported when the T3 framing is set for c-bit parity. (See the "Setting the Framing Type for the Serial Interface" section.)
To configure MDL messages, use the interface commands:
mdl {transmit {path | idle-signal | test-signal} | string {eic | lic | fic | unit | pfi | port | generator} string}
no mdl {transmit {path | idle-signal | test-signal} | string {eic | lic | fic | unit | pfi | port | generator} string}
where:
•eic is the equipment identification code (up to 10 characters).
•lic is the location identification code (up to 11 characters).
•fic is the frame identification code (up to 10 characters).
•unit is the unit identification code (up to 6 characters).
•pfi is the facility identification code to send in the MDL path message (up to 38 characters).
•port is the equipment port, which initiates the idle signal, to send in the MDL idle signal message (up to 38 characters).
•generator is the generator number to send in the MDL test signal message (up to 38 characters).
Use the no form of this command to remove MDL messages. The default is that no MDL message is configured.
Examples of MDL Message Configuration
Examples of configuring MDL messages follow:
•Enter interface configuration mode first.
The example that follows is for a port adapter on a VIP in interface processor slot 1:
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)# interface serial 1/0/0
The example that follows is for a port adapter in slot 1 of the Cisco 7200 series routers:
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)# interface serial 1/0
•Enable the MDL path message transmission as follows:
Router(config-controller)# mdl transmit path
•Enable the MDL idle signal message transmission as follows:
Router(config-if)# mdl transmit idle-signal
•Enable the MDL test signal message transmission as follows:
Router(config-if)# mdl transmit test-signal
•Enter the equipment identification code as follows:
Router(config-if)# mdl string eic router A
•Enter the location identification code as follows:
Router(config-if)# mdl string lic tst network
•Enter the frame identification code as follows:
Router(config-if)# mdl string fic building b
•Enter the unit identification code as follows:
Router(config-if)# mdl string unit abc
•Enter the facility identification code to send in the MDL path message as follows:
Router(config-if)# mdl string pfi string
•Enter the port number to send in the MDL idle signal message as follows:
Router(config-if)# mdl string port string
•Enter the generator number to send in the MDL test signal message as follows:
Router(config-if)# mdl string generator string
Setting the DSU Mode for the Serial Interface
In interface configuration mode, define the DSU interoperability mode by entering the dsu mode [0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4] configuration subcommand, as in the following example:
router(config-if)# dsu mode 1
Use the no form of this command to return to the default, 0.
The local DSU mode must match the remote DSU or T3 port configuration. For example, if an ADC Kentrox DSU is at the remote end of the T3 link, then the local T3 port must be configured for mode 1.
You need to know what type of DSU is at the remote T3 end to find out if it interoperates with the PA-MC-2T3+. Specify mode 0 for connection from a PA-MC-2T3+ to another PA-MC-2T3+ or a Digital Link DSU (DL3100). Specify mode 1 for connection from a PA-MC-2T3+ to a Kentrox DSU. Specify mode 2 for connection from a PA-MC-2T3+ to a Larscom DSU. See Table 4-1 for a list of DSUs and their corresponding bandwidth range.
Also see the "T3 Specifications" section on page 1-3 for information regarding DSU feature compatibilities.

DSU Mode Bandwidth Ranges
Note If the far end DSU has more than one DTE (HSSI) port, connect to and configure only DTE#1. See Caution below for Verilink DSUs.
Caution
Always connect to and configure HSSI port B on the Verilink HDM2182. Port A is not supported by the PA-MC-2T3+.
Caution
The PA-MC-2T3+ does not support the Kentrox DSU bandwidth setting of 1.0 mbps. The Kentrox DSU speed must be set to 1.5 mbps or greater.
Caution
For all DSU modes, the DSU must be configured for the same transmit and receive speeds. Asymmetrical transmit and receive speeds are not supported.
Setting the Bandwidth for the Serial Interface
In interface configuration mode, set the bandwidth to be used by the serial interface on the T3 link by entering the dsu bandwidth bandwidth configuration subcommand, as in the following example:
Router(config-if)# dsu bandwidth 16000
The allowable bandwidth range is 1 to 44210 kbps. Use the no form of this command to return to the default, 44210.
The local DSU bandwidth value must match the remote DSU or T3 port bandwidth exactly. For example, if you set the DSU bandwidth to 16000 on the local port, you must do the same on the remote DSU or T3 port.
Setting Scrambling for the Serial Interface
In interface configuration mode, enable serial interface scrambling by entering the scramble configuration subcommand, as in the following example:
router(config-if)# scramble
Use the no form of this command to restore the default value, disabled.
The local port configuration must match the remote DSU or T3 port configuration. For example, if you enable scrambling on the local port, you must do the same on the remote DSU or T3 port.
Configuring Loopback Mode for the Serial Interface
With loopbacks, you can detect and isolate equipment malfunctions by testing the connection between the PA-MC-2T3+ interface and a remote device such as a CSU/DSU. Remote loopback sends a command to loop the T3 line at the far end. It can be used to diagnose problems with cables from the port adapter to the switching office. Network loopback loops the PA-MC-2T3+ T3 port back to the network, allowing the remote end to test the connection to the PA-MC-2T3+.
Local loopback loops the PA-MC-2T3+ T3 port back to itself allowing it to be tested in isolation from the T3 cables and remote T3 equipment.
The loopback subcommand places an interface in loopback mode, which enables test packets that are generated from the ping command to loop through a remote device and cables. If the packets complete the loop, the connection is good.
Table 4-2 provides examples of the loopback {local | network {line | payload} | remote {line | payload}2 command. You can configure the serial interface for loopback modes using the interface command:
loopback [local | network | remote]
The default is no loopback.
To return the serial interface to its default unlooped condition, use the no form of the command.
Table 4-2 Using loopback Commands
loopback local |
Sets the interface into local loopback mode. Local loopback loops the router output data back toward the router at the framer. |
Router(config)# interface serial
10/0/0
router(config-if)# loopback local
|
loopback network line |
Sets the interface into network line loopback mode. Network line loopback loops the data back toward the network (before the framer). |
Router(config)# interface serial
10/0/0
router(config-if)# loopback network
line
|
loopback network payload |
Sets the interface into network payload loopback mode. Network payload loopback loops just the payload data back toward the network at the T3 framer. |
Router(config)# interface serial
10/0/0
router(config-if)# loopback network
payload
|
loopback remote1 |
Sends a command to the remote T3 device instructing it to loop itself back toward the network (before the framer at the remote T3 device). |
Router(config)# interface serial
10/0/0
router(config-if)# loopback remote
|
loopback remote line2 |
Sends a command to the remote Kentrox to loop itself back toward the network before the framer. |
Router(config)# interface serial
10/0/0
router(config-if)# loopback remote
line
|
loopback remote payload2 |
Sends a command to the remote Kentrox DSU to loop only the payload after the framer back toward the network. |
Router(config)# interface serial
10/0/0
router(config-if)# loopback remote
payload
|
Configuring the T3 controller to Enable Loopbacks
The PA-MC-2T3+ can be configured to respond to or to ignore remote T3 loopback requests sent to it from the far end T3 equipment. Equipment customer loopback enables the port adapter to respond to remote T3 loopback commands from the remote T3 equipment while equipment network loopback causes the PA to ignore remote T3 loopback commands.
equipment [customer | network] loopback
Router(config)# controller T3 1/0
Router(config-controller)# equipment customer loopback
Note Remote loopbacks are only available when you use c-bit parity framing.
Shutting Down the T3 Controller
You can shut down the T3 controller on the PA-MC-2T3+ with the controller command:
shutdown
This command sends a DS3 idle signal toward the network. You can bring the T3 controller back up with the no shutdown controller command.
Examples follow:
•The example that follows is for a port adapter on a VIP in interface processor slot 1:
Router(config)# controller T3 1/0/0
Router(config-controller)# shutdown
•The example that follows is for a port adapter in slot 1 of the Cisco 7200 series routers:
Router(config)# controller T3 1/0
Router(config-controller)# shutdown
Configuring a BER Test on the T3 Controller
Bit error rate test (BERT) circuitry is built into the PA-MC-2T3+. With BER tests, you can test cable and signal problems in the field.
There are two categories of test patterns that can be generated by the onboard BER test circuitry: pseudorandom and repetitive. The former test patterns are polynomial based numbers and conform to the CCITT/ITU O.151 and O.153 specifications; the latter test patterns are zeros or ones, or alternating zeros and ones.
A list of the available test patterns follows:
•Pseudorandom test patterns:
–2^15 (per CCITT/ITU O.151)
–2^20 (per CCITT/ITU O.151 non-QRSS)
–2^23 (per CCITT/ITU O.151)
•Repetitive test patterns:
–All zeros (0s)
–All ones (1s)
–Alternating zeros (0s) and ones (1s)
Both the total number of error bits received and the total number of bits received are available for analysis. You can set the testing period from 1 minute to 14,400 minutes (240 hours), and you can also retrieve the error statistics anytime during the BER test.
When running a BER test, your system expects to receive the same pattern that it is transmitting. To accomplish this, two common options are available:
•Use a loopback somewhere in the link or network.
•Configure remote testing equipment to transmit the same BER test pattern at the same time.
Sending a BER Test Pattern on the T3 Line
You can send a BERT pattern on the T3 line with the bert command in controller configuration mode.
bert pattern pattern interval time
where:
•pattern is:
–0s, repetitive test pattern of all zeros (as 00000...)
–1s, repetitive test pattern of all ones (as 11111...)
–2^15, pseudorandom O.151 test pattern (32,768 bits long)
–2^20, pseudorandom O.151 non-QRSS test pattern (1,048,575 bits long)
–2^23, pseudorandom O.151 test pattern (8,388,607 bits long)
–alt-0-1, repetitive alternating test pattern of zeros (0s) and ones (1s), (as 01010101)
•time is 1-14400 minutes.
Examples follow:
•Send a BERT pseudorandom pattern of 2^23 for 5 minutes.
The example that follows is for a port adapter on a VIP in interface processor slot 1:
Router(config)# controller T3 1/0/0
Router(config-controller)# bert pattern 2^23 interval 5
The example that follows is for a port adapter in slot 1 of the Cisco 7200 series routers:
Router(config)# controller T3 1/0
Router(config-controller)# bert pattern 2^23 interval 5
•Send a repetitive pattern of all ones for 14400 minutes (240 hours).
The example that follows is for a port adapter on a VIP in interface processor slot 1:
Router(config)# controller T3 1/0/0
Router(config-controller)# bert pattern 1s interval 14400
The example that follows is for a port adapter in slot 1 of the Cisco 7200 series routers:
Router(config)# controller T3 1/0
Router(config-controller)# bert pattern 1s interval 14400
Note You can terminate a BER test during the specified test period with the no bert command.
Viewing the Results of a BER Test
You can view the results of a BER test using the controller command:
show controllers T3 slot/port-adapter/t3-port for Cisco 7500 series routers
show controllers T3 slot/t3-port for Cisco 7200 series routers
show controllers T3 slot/t3-port for Cisco 7401ASR routers
You can view the results of a BER test at the following times:
•After you terminate the test using the no bert command
•After the test runs completely
•Anytime during the test (in real time)
Examples follow:
•The example that follows is for a port adapter on a VIP in interface processor slot 1:

Bits Received (since last sync): 92 Mbits
The following explains the output of the preceding command, line by line:
|
|
BERT test result (running) |
This line indicates the current state of the test. In this case, "running" indicates that the BER test is still in process. After a test is completed, "done" is displayed. |
Test Pattern : 2^15, Status : Sync, Sync Detected : 1 |
This line indicates the test pattern you selected for the test (2^15), the current synchronization state (sync), and the number of times synchronization has been detected during this test (1). |
Interval : 5 minute(s), Time Remain : 5 minute(s) |
This line indicates the time the test takes to run and the time remaining for the test to run. |
Interval : 5 minute(s), Time Remain : 2 minute(s) (unable to complete) |
For a BER test that you terminate, this line indicates the time the test would have taken to run and the time remaining for the test to run had you not terminated it; "unable to complete" signifies that you interrupted the test. |
Bit Errors(Since BERT Started): 6 bits, Bits Received(Since BERT start): 8113 Kbits Bit Errors(Since last sync): 6 bits Bits Received(Since last sync): 8113 Kbits |
These four lines show the bit errors that have been detected versus the total number of test bits that have been received since the test started and since the last synchronization was detected. Bits and errors are only counted when the test status is "sync". |
Terminating a BER Test
You can terminate a BER test with the controller command:
no bert
Examples follow:
Terminate the BER test running on T3 0.
•The example that follows is for a port adapter on a VIP in interface processor slot 1:
Router(config)# controller T3 1/0/0
Router(config-controller)# no bert
•The example that follows is for a port adapter in slot 1 of the Cisco 7200 series routers:
Router(config)# controller T3 1/0
Router(config-controller)# no bert
To check your configurations using show commands, proceed to the "Checking the Configuration" section; otherwise, proceed to the following section to perform a basic interface configuration.
Performing a Basic Serial Interface Configuration
Following are instructions for a basic configuration: enabling an interface and specifying IP routing. You might also need to enter other configuration subcommands, depending on the requirements for your system configuration and the protocols you plan to route on the interface. For complete descriptions of configuration subcommands and the configuration options available for serial interfaces, refer to the appropriate software documentation.
In the following procedure, press the Return key after each step unless otherwise noted. At any time you can exit the privileged level and return to the user level by entering disable at the prompt as follows:
Step 1 Enter configuration mode and specify that the console terminal is the source of the configuration subcommands, as follows:
Router# configuration terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Step 2 Specify the first interface to configure by entering the interface serial subcommand, followed by the interface address of the interface you plan to configure. See "Port Adapter Slot Locations on the Supported Platforms" section on page 1-5 and "Identifying Interface Addresses" section on page 1-11.
This example is for the serial interface of T3 port 0 in port adapter slot 6.
Router(config)# interface serial 6/0
This example is for the serial interface of T3 port 0 of a port adapter in port adapter slot 1 of a VIP in interface processor slot 2.
Router(config)# interface serial 2/1/0
Step 3 Assign an IP address and subnet mask to the interface (if IP routing is enabled on the system) by using the ip address subcommand, as in the following example:
Router(config-if)# ip address 10.0.0.0 10.255.255.255
Step 4 Add any additional configuration subcommands required to enable routing protocols and set the interface characteristics.
Step 5 Re enable the interfaces using the no shutdown command. (See the "Replacing an Existing Port Adapter" section.)
Step 6 Configure all additional port adapter interfaces as required.
Step 7 After including all of the configuration subcommands to complete your configuration, press Ctrl-Z—hold down the Control key while you press Z—or enter end or exit to exit configuration mode and return to the EXEC command interpreter prompt.
Step 8 Write the new configuration to NVRAM as follows:
Router# copy running-config startup-config
This completes the procedure for creating a basic configuration.
Checking the Configuration
After configuring the new interface, use the show commands to display the status of the new interface or all interfaces, and use the ping and loopback commands to check connectivity. This section includes the following subsections:
•Using show Commands to Verify the New Interface Status
•Using the ping Command to Verify Network Connectivity
•Using loopback Commands to Troubleshoot Network Problems
Using show Commands to Verify the New Interface Status
Table 4-3 demonstrates how you can use the show commands to verify that new interfaces are configured and operating correctly and that the PA-MC-2T3+ appears in them correctly. Sample displays of the output of selected show commands appear in the sections that follow. For complete command descriptions and examples, refer to the publications listed in the "Related Documentation" section on page viii.
Note The outputs that appear in this document may not match the output you receive when running these commands. The outputs in this document are examples only.

Using the show controllers Command
You can display information for the T3 controller within a PA-MC-2T3+ in Cisco 7200 series, Cisco 7301 routers, and Cisco 7401ASR routers with the command:
show controllers t3 port-adapter/t3-port [brief | tabular]
where:
•brief displays a list of configurations only.
•tabular displays a list of configurations and MIB data in a tabular format.
Note If you use the show controllers t3 port-adapter/port command without either of the optional arguments (brief or tabular), all information is displayed for the T3 controller you specified; therefore, the resulting display output can be extensive.
Note You can use these show controllers t3 commands for Cisco 7500 series routers in which the PA-MC-2T3+ is supported. The syntax is as follows:
— show controllers t3 slot/port-adapter/t3-port brief
— show controllers t3 slot/port-adapter/t3-port tabular
The following examples show command output display information for a PA-MC-2T3+ in port adapter slot 0 on a VIP installed in interface processor slot 1. Examples for Cisco 7200 series and Cisco 7401ASR routers are not shown.

(additional displayed text not shown)
If you use the show controllers T3 command without specifying a port address (slot/port-adapter/port), all information is displayed for all T3 port adapters in the router; therefore, the resulting display output can be extensive.
Using the ping Command to Verify Network Connectivity
Using the ping command, you can verify that an interface port is functioning properly. This section provides a brief description of this command. Refer to the publications listed in the "Related Documentation" section on page viii for detailed command descriptions and examples.
The ping command sends echo request packets out to a remote device at an IP address that you specify. After sending an echo request, the system waits a specified time for the remote device to reply. Each echo reply is displayed as an exclamation point (!) on the console terminal; each request that is not returned before the specified timeout is displayed as a period (.). A series of exclamation points (!!!!!) indicates a good connection; a series of periods (.....) or the messages [timed out] or [failed] indicate a bad connection.
Following is an example of a successful ping command to a remote server with the address 10.0.0.10:
Router# ping 10.0.0.10 <Return>
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echoes to 10.0.0.10, timeout is 2 seconds:
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/15/64 ms
If the connection fails, verify that you have the correct IP address for the destination and that the device is active (powered on), and repeat the ping command.
Proceed to the next section, "Using loopback Commands to Troubleshoot Network Problems," to finish checking network connectivity.
Using loopback Commands to Troubleshoot Network Problems
If you have difficulty with the PA-MC-2T3+ configuration or installation, you can troubleshoot the port adapter using the loopback command. Refer to the "Configuring Loopback Mode for the Serial Interface" section for instructions on setting loopbacks.
If the ping command to the remote IP address failed, then use loopbacks to troubleshoot the T3 connection using the following steps:
Step 1 Use the show controller T3 and show interface serial commands to confirm that the T3 controller, serial interface, and line protocol are up.
Step 2 Place the serial interface of the PA-MC-2T3+ in local loopback using the loop local command.
Step 3 Repeat the ping command using the IP address of the local serial interface. Using the previous example where the remote server's IP address was 10.0.0.10, if the local IP address is 10.0.0.5, then use the command:
If the ping is successful, proceed to Step 4. A failure indicates a configuration problem or a hardware problem with the PA-MC-2T3+.
Step 4 Remove the local loop with the no loopback command and place the remote server or DSU in network loopback with the loopback remote command.
Note The loopback remote command is only available when the framing is set to c-bit parity. If the framing is not set to c-bit parity, the remote server will have to be placed into network loopback by someone at the remote site.
Step 5 Repeat Step 3. If the ping is successful then the PA-MC-2T3+ and the T3 link to the remote site is functioning correctly. The problem is probably in the remote DSU or server configuration or hardware. If the ping fails then either the T3 link to the remote site or the remote server or DSU configuration or hardware has a problem.
