FDDI Full-Duplex Single-Mode and Multimode Port Adapters
Description
Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) full-duplex single-mode and multimode port adapters (PA-F/FD-SM and PA-F/FD-MM) are available on Cisco 7200 series routers, on second-generation Versatile Interface Processors (VIP2s) in Cisco 7500 series routers, and on Cisco 7000 series routers with the 7000 Series Route Switch Processor (RSP7000) and 7000 Series Chassis Interface (RSP7000CI).
These port adapters provide an interface for both single-mode and multimode fiber-optic cable. Two physical ports are available with either single-mode SC-type or multimode MIC receptacles. Each port adapter's FDDI connection allows a maximum aggregate bandwidth of 200 Mbps per the FDDI standard.
Platforms
This feature is supported on these platforms:
•
Cisco 7200 series
•Cisco 7500 series
•Cisco 7000 series routers with the RSP7000 and RSP7000CI
Configuration Task
For information on how to configure the PA-F/FD-SM and PA-F/FD-MM port adapters, refer to the "Configure a Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI)" section in the "Configuring Interfaces" chapter of the Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
In addition to the commands in the "Configure a Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI)" section, the PA-F/FD-SM and PA-F/FD-MM port adapters can also be configured for full-duplex. To enable full-duplex mode on the PA-F/FD-SM and PA-F/FD-MM port adapters, perform the following task in interface configuration mode:
Task

full-duplex
To specify full-duplex mode on a Fast Ethernet Interface Processor (FEIP) port, on the FDDI full-duplex, single-mode port adapter (PA-F/FD-SM) and FDDI full-duplex, multimode port adapter (PA-F/FD-MM) on Cisco 7000 series routers with RSP7000, Cisco 7200 series routers, and Cisco 7500 series routers, or on a serial interface port that uses bisynchronous tunneling, use the full-duplex interface configuration command. Use the no form of this command to restore the default half-duplex mode.

no full-duplex
Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or keywords.
Default

Command Mode
Interface configuration
Usage Guidelines
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.1.
This command was modified in Cisco IOS Release 11.2 P and 11.1 CA to include information on FDDI full-duplex, single-mode and multimode port adapters (PA-F/FD-SM and PA-F/FD-MM).
Use this command if your equipment on the other end is capable of full-duplex mode.
To enable half-duplex mode, use the no full-duplex or half-duplex commands.
If the interface does not support full-duplex, an informational message similar to the one shown below is displayed, and no changes are made to the interface. To determine if the interface supports full-duplex, use the show interfaces command. For example, the following message is displayed if the interface does not support full-duplex:
% interface does not support full-duplex.
Full-duplex on the FDDI full-duplex port adapters (PA-F/FD-SM and PA-F/FD-MM) allows an FDDI ring with exactly two stations to transform the ring into a full-duplex, point-to-point topology. To operate in full-duplex mode, there must be only two stations on the ring, the two stations must be capable of operating in full-duplex mode, and both stations must complete a full-duplex autoconfiguration protocol. There is no FDDI token in full-duplex mode.
Full-duplex autoconfiguration protocol allows an FDDI station to dynamically and automatically operate in either half-duplex (or ring) or full-duplex mode, and ensures that the stations fall back to ring mode when a configuration change occurs, such as a third station joining the ring.
After booting up, the FDDI stations begin operation in half-duplex mode. While the station performs the full-duplex autoconfiguration protocol, the station continues to provide data-link services to its users. Under normal conditions, the transition between half-duplex mode and full-duplex mode is transparent to the data-link users. The data-link services provided by full-duplex mode are functionally the same as the services provided by half-duplex mode.
If you change the full-duplex configuration (for example from disabled to enabled) on supported interfaces, the interface resets.
Examples
The following example configures full-duplex mode on the Cisco 7000:
interface fastethernet 0/1
The following example specifies full-duplex binary synchronous communications (BSC) mode:
The following example enables full-duplex mode on FDDI interface 0:

Usage Guidelines
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.1.
This command was modified in Cisco IOS Release 11.2 P and 11.1 CA to include information on FDDI full-duplex, single-mode and multimode port adapters (PA-F/FD-SM and PA-F/FD-MM).
For additional information on full-duplex on the PA-F/FD-SM and PA-F/FD-MM port adapters, refer to the full-duplex interface configuration command.
The half-duplex command is used to configure an SDLC interface for half-duplex mode.
The half-duplex command deprecates both the sdlc hdx and media-type half-duplex commands.
To enable full-duplex mode, use the no half-duplex or full-duplex commands.
Note The media-type half-duplex command exists in Cisco IOS Release 11.0(5). As of Release 11.0(6), the keyword half-duplex was removed from the media-type command. In Release 11.0(6), the functionality for specifying half-duplex mode is provided by the half-duplex command.
Example
In the following example, an SDLC interface has been configured for half-duplex mode:
encapsulation sdlc-primary

Provides the hardware type, followed by the hardware address.
|
Internet address
|
IP address, followed by subnet mask.
|
MTU
|
Maximum transmission unit of the interface.
|
BW
|
Bandwidth of the interface in kilobits per second.
|
DLY
|

|
FDX
|
Displays full-duplex information. Values are: not supported or supported. When the value is supported, the display indicates whether full-duplex is enabled or disabled. When enabled, the state of the FDX negotiation process is displayed. The negotiation states only relate to the full-duplex negotiation process. You must also ensure that the interface is up and working by looking at other fields in the show interfaces fddi command such as line protocol and RMT. Negotiation states are:
•idle—Interface is working but not in full-duplex mode yet. If persistent, it could mean that the interface did not meet all negotiation conditions (for example, there are more than two stations in the ring).
•request—Interface is working but not in full-duplex mode yet. If persistent, it could mean that the remote interface does not support full-duplex or full-duplex is not enabled on the interface.
•confirm—Transient state.
•operation—Negotiations completed successfully, and both stations are operating in full-duplex mode.
|
Phy-{A | B}
|
Lists the state the Physical A or Physical B connection is in; one of the following: off, active, trace, connect, next, signal, join, verify, or break.
|
neighbor
|
State of the neighbor:
•A—Indicates that the connection management (CMT) process has established a connection with its neighbor. The bits received during the CMT signaling process indicate that the neighbor is a Physical A type dual attachment station (DAS) or concentrator that attaches to the primary ring IN and the secondary ring OUT when attaching to the dual ring.
•S—Indicates that the CMT process has established a connection with its neighbor and that the bits received during the CMT signaling process indicate that the neighbor is one Physical type in a single attachment station (SAS).
•B—Indicates that the CMT process has established a connection with its neighbor and that the bits received during the CMT signaling process indicate that the neighbor is a Physical B dual attachment station or concentrator that attaches to the secondary ring IN and the primary ring OUT when attaching to the dual ring.
•M—Indicates that the CMT process has established a connection with its neighbor and that the bits received during the CMT signaling process indicate that the router's neighbor is a Physical M-type concentrator serving as a Master to a connected station or concentrator.
•unk—Indicates that the network server has not completed the CMT process and, as a result, does not know about its neighbor. See the section "Setting Bit Control" for an explanation of the bit patterns.
|
cmt signal bits
|
Shows the transmitted/received CMT bits. The transmitted bits are 0x008 for a Physical A type and 0x20C for Physical B type. The number after the slash (/) is the received signal bits. If the connection is not active, the received bits are zero (0); see the line beginning Phy-B in the display. This applies to FIP interfaces only.
|
status
|
Status value displayed is the actual status on the fiber. The FDDI standard defines the following values:
•LSU—Line State Unknown, the criteria for entering or remaining in any other line state have not been met.
•NLS—Noise Line State is entered upon the occurrence of 16 potential noise events without satisfying the criteria for entry into another line state.
•MLS—Master Line State is entered upon the receipt of eight or nine consecutive HQ or QH symbol pairs.
•ILS—Idle Line State is entered upon receipt of four or five idle symbols.
•HLS—Halt Line State is entered upon the receipt of 16 or 17 consecutive H symbols.
•QLS—Quiet Line State is entered upon the receipt of 16 or 17 consecutive Q symbols or when carrier detect goes low.
•ALS—Active Line State is entered upon receipt of a JK symbol pair when carrier detect is high.
•OVUF—Elasticity buffer Overflow/Underflow. The normal states for a connected Physical type are ILS or ALS. If the report displays the QLS status, this indicates that the fiber is disconnected from Physical B, or that it is not connected to another Physical type, or that the other station is not running.
|
ECM is...
|
ECM is the SMT entity coordination management, which overlooks the operation of CFM and PCM. The ECM state can be one of the following:
•out—Router is isolated from the network.
•in—Router is actively connected to the network. This is the normal state for a connected router.
•trace—Router is trying to localize a stuck beacon condition.
•leave—Router is allowing time for all the connections to break before leaving the network.
•path_test—Router is testing its internal paths.
•insert—Router is allowing time for the optical bypass to insert.
•check—Router is making sure optical bypasses switched correctly.
•deinsert—Router is allowing time for the optical bypass to deinsert.
|
CFM is...
|
Contains information about the current state of the MAC connection. The Configuration Management state can be one of the following:
•isolated—MAC is not attached to any Physical type.
•wrap_a—MAC is attached to Physical A. Data is received on Physical A and transmitted on Physical A.
•wrap_b—MAC is attached to Physical B. Data is received on Physical B and transmitted on Physical B.
•wrap_s—MAC is attached to Physical S. Data is received on Physical S and transmitted on Physical S. This is the normal mode for a single attachment station (SAS).
•thru—MAC is attached to Physical A and B. Data is received on Physical A and transmitted on Physical B. This is the normal mode for a dual attachment station (DAS) with one MAC. The ring has been operational for 1 minute and 42 seconds.
|
RMT is...
|
RMT (Ring Management) is the SMT MAC-related state machine. The RMT state can be one of the following:
•isolated—MAC is not trying to participate in the ring. This is the initial state.
•non_op—MAC is participating in ring recovery, and ring is not operational.
•ring_op—MAC is participating in an operational ring. This is the normal state while the MAC is connected to the ring.
•detect—Ring has been nonoperational for longer than normal. Duplicate address conditions are being checked.
•non_op_dup—Indications have been received that the address of the MAC is a duplicate of another MAC on the ring. Ring is not operational.
•ring_op_dup—Indications have been received that the address of the MAC is a duplicate of another MAC on the ring. Ring is operational in this state.
•directed—MAC is sending beacon frames notifying the ring of the stuck condition.
•trace—Trace has been initiated by this MAC, and the RMT state machine is waiting for its completion before starting an internal path test.
|
token rotation
|
Token rotation value is the default or configured rotation value as determined by the fddi token-rotation-time command. This value is used by all stations on the ring. The default is 5000 microseconds. For FDDI full-duplex, this indicates the value in use prior to entering full-duplex operation.
|
negotiated
|
Actual (negotiated) target token rotation time.
|
ring operational
|
When the ring is operational, the displayed value will be the negotiated token rotation time of all stations on the ring. Operational times are displayed by the number of hours:minutes:seconds the ring has been up. If the ring is not operational, the message "ring not operational" is displayed.
|
Configured tvx
|
Transmission timer.
|
LER
|
Link error rate.
|
Upstream | downstream neighbor
|
Displays the canonical MAC address of outgoing upstream and downstream neighbors. If the address is unknown, the value will be the FDDI unknown address (0x00 00 f8 00 00 00).
|
Last input
|
Number of hours, minutes, and seconds since the last packet was successfully received by an interface. Useful for knowing when a dead interface failed.
|
output
|
Number of hours, minutes, and seconds since the last packet was successfully transmitted by an interface.
|
output hang
|
Number of hours, minutes, and seconds (or never) since the interface was last reset because of a transmission that took too long. When the number of hours in any of the "last" fields exceeds 24 hours, the number of days and hours is printed. If that field overflows, asterisks are printed.
|
Last clearing
|
Time at which the counters that measure cumulative statistics (such as number of bytes transmitted and received) shown in this report were last reset to zero. Note that variables that might affect routing (for example, load and reliability) are not cleared when the counters are cleared.
*** indicates the elapsed time is too large to be displayed.
0:00:00 indicates the counters were cleared more than 231ms (and less than 232ms) ago.
|
Queueing strategy
|
First-in, first-out queuing strategy (other queueing strategies you might see are priority-list, custom-list, and weighted fair).
|
Output queue, input queue, drops
|
Number of packets in output and input queues. Each number is followed by a slash, the maximum size of the queue, and the number of packets dropped due to a full queue.
|
Five minute input rate
Five minute output rate
|
Average number of bits and packets transmitted per second in the last 5 minutes.
The five-minute input and output rates should be used only as an approximation of traffic per second during a given 5-minute period. These rates are exponentially weighted averages with a time constant of 5 minutes. A period of four time constants must pass before the average will be within two percent of the instantaneous rate of a uniform stream of traffic over that period.
|
packets input
|
Total number of error-free packets received by the system.
|
bytes
|
Total number of bytes, including data and MAC encapsulation, in the error free packets received by the system.
|
no buffer
|
Number of received packets discarded because there was no buffer space in the main system. Compare with ignored count. Broadcast storms on Ethernets and bursts of noise on serial lines are often responsible for no input buffer events.
|
broadcasts
|
Total number of broadcast or multicast packets received by the interface.
|
runts
|
Number of packets that are discarded because they are smaller than the medium's minimum packet size.
|
giants
|
Number of packets that are discarded because they exceed the medium's maximum packet size.
|
CRC
|
Cyclic redundancy checksum generated by the originating LAN station or far-end device does not match the checksum calculated from the data received. On a LAN, this usually indicates noise or transmission problems on the LAN interface or the LAN bus itself. A high number of CRCs is usually the result of collisions or a station transmitting bad data.
|
frame
|
Number of packets received incorrectly that have a CRC error and a noninteger number of octets. On a LAN, this is usually the result of collisions or a malfunctioning Ethernet device. On an FDDI LAN, this also can be the result of a failing fiber (cracks) or a hardware malfunction.
|
overrun
|
Number of times the serial receiver hardware was unable to hand received data to a hardware buffer because the input rate exceeded the receiver's ability to handle the data.
|
ignored
|
Number of received packets ignored by the interface because the interface hardware ran low on internal buffers. These buffers are different from the system buffers mentioned previously in the buffer description. Broadcast storms and bursts of noise can cause the ignored count to be increased.
|
packets output
|
Total number of messages transmitted by the system.
|
bytes
|
Total number of bytes, including data and MAC encapsulation, transmitted by the system.
|
underruns
|
Number of transmit aborts (when the router cannot feed the transmitter fast enough).
|
output errors
|
Sum of all errors that prevented the final transmission of datagrams out of the interface being examined. Note that this might not balance with the sum of the enumerated output errors, because some datagrams can have more than one error, and others can have errors that do not fall into any of the specifically tabulated categories.
|
collisions
|
Because an FDDI ring cannot have collisions, this statistic is always zero.
|
interface resets
|
Number of times an interface has been reset. The interface may be reset by the administrator or automatically when an internal error occurs.
|
restarts
|
Should always be zero for FDDI interfaces.
|
output buffer failures
|
Number of no resource errors received on the output.
|
output buffers swapped out
|
Number of packets swapped to DRAM.
|
transitions
|
The number of times the ring made a transition from ring operational to ring nonoperational, or vice versa. A large number of transitions indicates a problem with the ring or the interface.
|
traces
|
Trace count applies to both the FCI, FCIT, and FIP. Indicates the number of times this interface started a trace.
|
claims
|
Pertains to FCIT and FIP only. Indicates the number of times this interface has been in claim state.
|
beacons
|
Pertains to FCIT and FIP only. Indicates the number of times the interface has been in beacon state.
|
The following is an example that includes the accounting option. When you use the accounting option, only the accounting statistics are displayed.
