Feature Overview

The X.25 Annex G Session Status Change Reporting feature introduces the logging event frame-relay x25 interface configuration command, which provides console or system log notification of X.25 Annex G session status changes when an X.25 Annex G session changes state. Before this feature was introduced, there was no notification.

This feature detects changes in X.25 Annex G session status using an X.25 Link Access Procedure, Balanced (LAPB) N2 counter. The LAPB N2 counter records the number of unsuccessful transmit attempts that are made before the link is declared down. If the N2 consecutive polled commands have not been answered, a notification is generated, indicating that the X.25 profile or context associated with the data-link connection identifier (DLCI) that is running across the failed link has gone down. A message is generated to the console or system log when the link goes down. A message is also generated to the console or system log when the link comes back up. The notification response time is contingent on the values assigned to the LAPB N2 counter and the LAPB the retransmission timer in milliseconds (T1) timer.

Benefits

For X.25 Annex G sessions, if Local Management Interface (LMI) keepalives are disabled, Frame Relay (FR) DLCI status changes can be detected using the logging event frame-relay x25 interface configuration command

Restrictions

The following restrictions apply to the X.25 Annex G Session Status Change Reporting feature:

•Notification is displayed for the UP or DOWN event only if traffic is initiated when an X.25 Annex G session is active.

•The notification response time is contingent on the values assigned to the LAPB N2 counter and the LAPB T1 timer.

•The PVCs continue to be reported as UP unless the serial link directly connected to the router goes down.

Configuration Tasks

See the following sections for configuration tasks for the X.25 Annex G Session Status Change Reporting feature. Each task in the list is identified as either required or optional.

•Enabling X.25 Annex G Session Status Change Reporting (required)

•Verifying X.25 Annex G Session Status Change Reporting (optional)

Enabling X.25 Annex G Session Status Change Reporting

Command	Purpose
Router(config-if)# logging event frame-relay x25	Enables notification of X.25 Annex G session status changes to be displayed on a console or system log.

Verifying X.25 Annex G Session Status Change Reporting

Command	Purpose
Router(config-if)# show run logging event frame-relay x25	Shows whether the command is enabled.

Configuration Examples

This section provides the following configuration example:

X.25 Annex G Session Status Change Reporting Configuration Example

The following configuration example shows how to enable notification of X.25 Annex G session status changes to be displayed on a console or system log using the logging event frame-relay x25 interface configuration command:

router(config-if)# logging event frame-relay x25

The following is an example of the Annex G session status change notifications:

%X25-5-UPDOWN: Interface <interface> - DLCI <dlci number> X.25 packet layer changed state to DOWN

%X25-5-UPDOWN: Interface <interface> - DLCI <dlci number> X25 packet layer changed state to UP

Command Reference

This section documents the new command that configures the X.25 Annex G Session Status Change Reporting feature:

•logging event frame-relay x25

logging event frame-relay x25

To enable notification of X.25 Annex G session status changes to be displayed on a console or system log, use the logging event frame-relay x25 command in interface configuration mode. To disable notification, use the no form of this command.

Examples

The following example shows how to enable notification of X.25 Annex G session status changes to be displayed on a console or system log using the logging event frame-relay x25 interface configuration command:

router(config-if)# logging event frame-relay x25

The following is an example of the Annex G status change notifications:

%X25-5-UPDOWN: Interface <interface> - DLCI <dlci number> X.25 packet layer changed state to DOWN

%X25-5-UPDOWN: Interface <interface> - DLCI <dlci number> X25 packet layer changed state to UP
