Command
Description

cem

Enters circuit emulation configuration mode.

clear cem

Clears CEM channel statistics.

show cem

Displays CEM channel statistics.


data-strobe

To specify an input control lead to be monitored as an indicator of valid data, use the data-strobe command in CEM configuration mode. To disable the monitoring of an input control lead, use the no form of this command.

data-strobe input-lead {on | off}

no data-strobe

Syntax Description

input-lead

Specifies the input lead. The choice of leads depends on whether the port is DCE or DTE.

on

Enables packet creation when the lead is asserted.

off

Enables packet creation when the lead is deactivated.


Command Default

No input control lead is monitored.

Command Modes

Command History

Release
Modification

12.3(7)T

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Any input control signal on a serial data port may be configured as a "data strobe" to indicate to the NM-CEM-4SER network module whether ingress data on the port should be encapsulated for transmission or ignored. If the data-strobe command is specified with the on keyword, data packets are created and sent when the input lead is asserted. If the data strobe is off (either intentionally or as a result of the failure of the customer premises equipment [CPE]), no data packets are created, and this results in preservation of bandwidth in the IP network.

This command applies only to serial ports.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to specify that packets are to be created and sent to the far end only when the DTR input control lead is asserted.

Router(config-cem)# data-strobe dtr on

Related Commands

Command
Description

cem

control-lead state

Specifies the state of an output control lead.

show cem

Displays CEM channel statistics.


dce-terminal-timing enable

To prevent phase shifting of the data with respect to the clock when running the line at high speeds and long distances, use the dce-terminal-timing enable command in interface configuration mode. If serial clock transmit external (SCTE) terminal timing is not available from the DTE, use the no form of this command; the DCE will use its own clock instead of SCTE from the DTE.

dce-terminal-timing enable

no dce-terminal-timing enable

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Defaults

The DCE uses its own clock.

12.2(33)SRA

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.

12.2SX

This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.


Usage Guidelines

On the Cisco 4000 router, you can specify the serial Network Interface Module timing signal configuration. When the board is operating as a DCE and the DTE provides terminal timing (SCTE or TT), the dce-terminal-timing enable command causes the DCE to use SCTE from the DTE.

Examples

The following example shows how to prevent phase shifting of the data with respect to the clock:

Router(config)# interface serial 0
Router(config-if)# dce-terminal-timing enable

debug platform link-dc

To display debugging messages for SFP and XFP transceivers, use the debug platform link-dc command in privileged EXEC mode. To disable debugging output, use the no form of this command.

debug platform link-dc {interrupt | transceiver}

12.4(15)T

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.4(15)T.


Usage Guidelines

VMI Interface -Aggregation Point

The VMI interface acts as an aggregation point for multiple PPPoE connections from one or more radios over one or more physical interfaces.

OSPFv3 and EIGRP Route Advertisements

All OSPFv3, EIGRPv4, and EIGRPv6 route advertisements that are received over the PPPoE connections are reported to the routing protocol as coming from a single interface, thus simplifying the routing protocol topology table and providing scalability benefits of each of the routing protocols.

Examples

The following example shows how to create a VMI interface:

interface vmi 1
  ip address 10.2.1.1 255.255.255.0
  no ip redirects
  no ip split-horizon eigrp 1
  load-interval 30
  ipv6 address 2001:0DB8:1:1:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFE/64 
  ipv6 enable
  no ipv6 redirects
  ipv6 eigrp 1
  no ipv6 split-horizon eigrp 1
  physical-interface GigabitEthernet 0/0

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

11.1

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

The default command is a general-purpose command that is not limited to interfaces; it resets defaults based on the command name that follows it. Use the default (interface) command when you need to remove any configuration for a specified interface and reset the interface to its default values.

When the default command is executed on a port that is already in its default port mode, only the `default port mode' configuration is removed. If this command is executed on a port that is not in default port mode, only the 'non-default port mode' configuration is removed. The 'default port mode' configuration is retained.

EXAMPLE:

Cat6000 Series

If the default command is executed on a routed port (routed port is the default port mode in Cat6000 series), only the routed port configuration is removed.

If the port has any switchport (non-default port mode) configuration, the configuration is retained, but is invisible to you. When a switchport is issued after defaulting the interface, all the switchport configurations reappear.

If the default command is executed on a switchport, both switchport configuration and routed port configuration are removed.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to reset serial interface 0 to its default values.

Router(config)# default serial 0

dial-tdm-clock

To configure the clock source and priority of the clock source used by the time-division multiplexing (TDM) bus on the dial shelf of the Cisco AS5800, use the dial-tdm-clock command in global configuration mode. To return the clock source and priority to the default values, use the no form of this command.

dial-tdm-clock priority number {external {e1 | t1} [120ohm] | freerun | trunk-slot slot port port} [line {0 | 1}]

no dial-tdm-clock priority number {external {e1 | t1} [120ohm] | freerun | trunk-slot slot port port} [line {0 | 1}]

Syntax Description

priority number

Specifies the priority of the clock source. The range is from 1 to 50. Priority 1 is the highest priority, and 50 is the lowest.

external

Specifies the priority of an external clock source. The external clock source is connected to the front panel of the Dial Shelf Controller (DSC) card.

{e1 | t1} [120ohm]

Specifies priority of the E1 (2.048 MHz) or T1 (1.54 MHz) external clock source. The default value of the external coaxial cable impedance is 75 ohm. Specify the 120ohm option if a 120 ohm coaxial cable is connected.

freerun

Specifies the priority of the local oscillator clock source.

trunk-slot slot

Specifies the priority of the trunk card to provide the clock source. The slot number is from 0 to 5 (these are the only slots capable of providing clock sources).

port port

Specifies the controller number on the trunk used to provide the clock source. The port number is from 0 to 28. The T1 and E1 trunk cards each have 12 ports. The T3 trunk card has 28 ports.

line {0 | 1}

(Optional) Specifies the optical port. If the physical optical port is 0, the line value is also 0.

12.2SX

This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.


Usage Guidelines

The TDM bus in the backplane on the dial shelf must be synchronized to the T1/E1 clocks on the trunk cards. The DSC card on the dial shelf provides hardware logic to accept multiple clock sources as input and use one of them as the primary source to generate a stable, PPL synchronized output clock. The input clock can be any of the following sources:

Trunk port in slots 0 through 5 (up to 12 can be selected (two per slot)

An external T1 or E1 clock source fed directly through a connector on the DSC card

A free running clock from an oscillator in the clocking hardware on the DSC card

The clock commands are listed in the configuration file with the highest priority listed first.

If the current primary clock source is good, specifying another clock source of higher priority does not cause the clock source to switch to the higher priority clock source. The new higher priority clock source is used as a backup clock source. This prevents switching of the clock source as you enter multiple dial-tdm-clock priority configuration commands in random order. Also, it is important not to disturb the existing clock source as long as it is good. To force the new higher priority clock source to take over from a currently good primary clock source, configure the new clock source and use the no dial-tdm-clock priority command to remove the current primary clock source.

To display the current primary and backup clocks along with their priorities, use the show dial-shelf clocks EXEC command.

Examples

In the following example, an external clock source is set at priority 1 and the trunk card in slot 4, port 1 is set at priority 5:

Router(config)# dial-tdm-clock priority 1 external t1
Router(config)# dial-tdm-clock priority 5 trunk-slot 4 port 1
Router(config)# exit

12.2(31)SB2

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(31)SB2.

Cisco IOS XE Release 2.2

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS XE Release 2.2.


Usage Guidelines

Use the dot1q tunneling ethertype command if the peer switching devices are using an Ethertype field value of 0x9100 or 0x9200. All Cisco switching devices use the default Ethertype field value of 0x8100. The Cisco 10000 series router additionally supports the 0x9200 Ethertype field value.


Note On the Cisco 10000 series router, the Ethertype field for the outer VLAN ID can be changed, but the Ethertype field for the inner VLAN ID cannot be changed.


This command is used with the IEEE 802.1Q-in-Q VLAN Tag Termination feature in which double VLAN tagging is configured using the encapsulation dot1q command. 802.1Q double tagging allows a service provider to use a single VLAN to support customers who have multiple VLANs.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure an Ethertype field as 0x9100:

Router(config)# interface gigabitethernet 1/0/0
Router(config-if)# dot1q tunneling ethertype 0x9100

The following example shows how to configure an Ethertype field as 0x9200 on a Cisco 10000 series router:

This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.


Usage Guidelines

This command is valid for High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) or PPP encapsulation on serial and High-Speed Serial Interface (HSSI) interfaces.

This command does not have a no form.

Backup Interfaces

When an interface has a backup interface configured, it is often desirable that the backup interface be enabled when the primary interface is either down or in loopback. By default, the backup is enabled only if the primary interface is down. By using the down-when-looped command, the backup interface will also be enabled if the primary interface is in loopback.

Testing an Interface with the Loopback Command

If testing an interface with the loopback command, or by placing the DCE into loopback, the down-when-looped command should not be configured; otherwise, packets will not be transmitted out the interface that is being tested.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure interface serial 0 for HDLC encapsulation. The interface is then configured to let the system know that it is down when in loopback mode.

Router(config)# interface serial0
Router(config-if)# encapsulation hdlc
Router(config-if)# down-when-looped

The command was renamed ds0-group on the Cisco AS5300 and on the Cisco 2600 and Cisco 3600 series.

12.0(7)T

The command was integrated into the Cisco IOS Release 12.0(7)T.

12.2(8)T

The command was introduced as a J1 configuration command for the Cisco 2600 and Cisco 3600 series.


Usage Guidelines

The ds0-group command replaces the existing cas-group command. Making the command generic allows flexibility and scalability. It is not restricted to channel associated signaling (CAS) or channel bundling.

The ds0-group command automatically creates a logical voice port that is numbered as follows on Cisco 2600 and Cisco 3600 series routers: slot/port:ds0-group-no. Although only one voice port is created for each group, applicable calls are routed to any channel in the group.

Examples

The following example is sample output from the show controllers j1 command on the Cisco 3660 series after channelized J1 time slots have been configured:

Router(config-controller)# ds0-group 1 timeslots 1-15,17-31 type e&m-wink-start

This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.


Usage Guidelines

Local and Remote Bandwidths

The local interface configuration must match the remote interface configuration. For example, if you reduce the maximum bandwidth to 16,000 on the local port, you must also do the same on the remote port.

The dsu bandwidth command reduces the bandwidth by padding the E3 and T3 frame.

Verifying DSU Bandwidth

To verify the data service unit (DSU) bandwidth configured on the interface, use the show interfaces serial user EXEC command.

G.751 Framing

When G.751 framing is used, DSU bandwidth can be used to select a payload subrate from 34,010 kbps down to 22 kbps. Before framing bypass can be used, a DSU bandwidth of 34,010 kbps must be configured.

Continuous Range of Bandwidth

Even though Cisco_IOS software allows you to configure a continuous range of bandwidths in subrate modes, vendors support bandwidths only in quantums (for example, in an E3 digital link, bandwidth must be in multiples of 358 kbps). Therefore, the software sets the user-configured bandwidth to the closest vendor-supported bandwidth. Use the show interfaces serial slot/port command to display the actual bandwidth that is configured.

Subrates

The user-configured subrate mode, subrate bandwidth, actual subrate bandwidth configured, and scramble configuration are displayed near the end of the show interfaces serial command output.

12.2(33)SRA

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.

12.2SX

This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.


Usage Guidelines

Scrambling Support in DSU Mode 1

DSU mode 1 refers to Kentrox mode. If DSU mode is used on a T3 serial interface and the bandwidth is greater than or equal to 35,000 bits per second (bps), the scrambling option is not supported. Likewise, if DSU mode 1 is used for an E3 serial interface and the bandwidth is greater than or equal to 24,510 bps, scrambling is not supported.

Match Local and Remote DSU Configurations

The local interface configuration must match the remote interface configuration. For example, if you define the DSU interoperability mode as 1 on the local port, you must also do the same on the remote port.

Know the DSU Type

You must know what type of DSU is connected to the remote port to determine if it interoperates with an E3 or T3 controller or a PA-E3 or PA-T3 port adapter. The dsu mode command enables and improves interoperability with other DSUs.

Verify DSU Mode

To verify the DSU mode configured on the interface, use the show controllers serial or show interfaces serial user EXEC commands.

Cisco 10000 Series Router

Only Cisco, Digital Link, and Kentrox DSUs are supported on E3 interfaces.

Examples

Setting DSU Mode

The following example sets the DSU mode to 1 on interface 1/0/0:

Router(config)# interface serial 1/0/0
Router(config-if)# dsu mode 1

Serial Interface in DSI Mode 1

The following example shows the configuration for a serial interface configured in DSU mode 1. The bandwidth is set higher than that supported by the Kentrox firmware allows for scrambling. therefore, the scrambling option is not supported in this configuration.

Router(config)# interface serial 1/0/0
Router(config-if)# mtu 4474
Router(config-if)# ip address 192.168.93.114 255.255.255.252
Router(config-if)# ip mtu 4470
Router(config-if)# dsu mode 1
Router(config-if)# dsu bandwidth 44210

12.2SX

This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.


Usage Guidelines

Use this command if the DCE cannot receive SCTE from the DTE, the data is running at high speeds, and the transmission line is long. The dte-invert-txc command prevents phase shifting of the data with respect to the clock.

On the Cisco 4000 series, you can specify the serial Network Processor Module timing signal configuration. When the board is operating as a DTE, the dte-invert-txc command inverts the TXC clock signal it gets from the DCE that the DTE uses to transmit data.

If the DCE accepts SCTE from the DTE, use no dte-invert-txc.

Examples

The following example inverts the TXC on serial interface 0:

Router(config)# interface serial 0
Router(config-if)# dte-invert-txc

duplex

To configure duplex operation on an interface, use the duplex command in interface configuration mode. Use the no form of this command to return to the default value.

duplex {full | half | auto}

no duplex

Syntax Description

full

Specifies full-duplex operation.

half

Specifies half-duplex operation.

auto

Enables autonegotiation. The interface automatically operates at half or full duplex depending on environmental factors, such as the type of media and the transmission speeds for the peer routers, hubs, and switches used in the network configuration.


Defaults

Half-duplex mode

For the 4-Port 10/100 Fast Ethernet SPA and the 2-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet SPA on the Cisco 7304 router, the default is auto.

Usage Guidelines

General Usage Guidelines

To use the autonegotiation capability (that is, detect speed and duplex modes automatically), you must set both the speed command and duplex command to auto.

Duplex Options and Interfaces

Table 9 lists the supported command options by interface.

Default Setting
Usage Guidelines

10/100-Mbps module

duplex [half | full]

See the "Usage Guidelines" section.

If the speed is set to auto, you will not be able to set duplex.

If the speed is set to 10 or 100, and you do not configure the duplex setting, the duplex is set to half.

100-Mbps fiber modules

duplex [half | full]

10-Mbps ports

duplex [half | full]

If the transmission speed on a 16-port RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet port is set to 1000, the duplex mode is set to full. If the transmission speed is changed to 10 or 100, the duplex mode stays at half duplex. You must configure the correct duplex mode when the transmission speed is changed to 10 or 100 from 1000.

Gigabit Ethernet is full duplex only. You cannot change the duplex mode on Gigabit Ethernet ports or on a 10/100/1000-Mbps port that is configured for Gigabit Ethernet.

When manually configuring the interface speed to either 10 or 100 Mbps, you should also configure the duplex mode on the interface.


Caution Changing the interface speed and duplex mode configuration might shut down and reenable the interface during the reconfiguration.

Usage Guidelines for the 4-Port 10/100 Fast Ethernet SPA and the 2-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet SPA on the Cisco 7304 router.

The duplex command applies to Shared Port Adapter (SPA) interfaces that are using RJ-45 media. Gigabit Ethernet interfaces using fiber media support full-duplex mode only, and use the negotiation command to enable and disable autonegotiation.

To enable the autonegotiation capability on an RJ-45 interface, you must set either the speed command or the duplex command to auto. The default configuration is that both commands are set to auto.


Note For the Cisco AS5300, the duplex {full | half | auto} command syntax replaces the duplex commands: half-duplex and full-duplex. Cisco 7600 series routers cannot automatically negotiate the interface speed and duplex mode if either connecting interface is configured to a value other than auto.


Table 10 describes the interface behavior for different combinations of the duplex and speed command settings. The specified duplex command configured with the specified speed command produces the resulting system action.

If you specify both a duplex and speed setting other than auto on an RJ-45 interface, then autonegotiation is disabled for the interface.


Note If you need to force an interface port to operate with certain settings and therefore disable autonegotiation, you must be sure that the remote link is configured with compatible link settings for proper transmission. This includes support of flow control on the link.



Note Every interface on a 4-Port 10/100 Fast Ethernet SPA supports transmission of pause frames to stop packet flow when the Modular Services Card (MSC) is full. You cannot disable flow control for an interface on the 4-Port 10/100 Fast Ethernet SPA. Therefore, flow control support is not configurable, but it is advertised during autonegotiation.

If you disable autonegotiation, then you must be sure that the remote device is configured to support flow control because flow control is automatically enabled for all interfaces on the 4-Port 10/100 Fast Ethernet SPA.


Table 10 Relationship Between duplex and speed Commands 

duplex Command
speed Command
Resulting System Action

duplex auto

speed auto

Autonegotiates both speed and duplex mode. The interface advertises capability for the following link settings:

10 Mbps and half duplex

10 Mbps and full duplex

100 Mbps and half duplex

100 Mbps and full duplex

1000 Mbps and half duplex

1000 Mbps and full duplex

duplex auto

speed 10 or speed 100 or speed 1000

Autonegotiates the duplex mode. The interface advertises capability for the configured speed with capability for both half-duplex or full-duplex mode.

For example, if the speed 100 command is configured with duplex auto, then the interface advertises the following capability:

100 Mbps and half duplex

100 Mbps and full duplex

duplex half or duplex full

speed auto

Autonegotiates the speed. The interface advertises capability for the configured duplex mode with capability for both 10-Mbps and 100-Mbps operation for Fast Ethernet interfaces, and 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, and 1000-Mbps for Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.

For example, if the duplex full command is configured with the speed auto command, then the interface advertises the following capability:

10 Mbps and full duplex

100 Mbps and full duplex

1000 Mbps and full duplex (Gigabit Ethernet interfaces only)

duplex half

speed 10

Forces 10-Mbps and half-duplex operation, and disables autonegotiation on the interface.

duplex full

speed 10

Forces 10-Mbps and full-duplex operation, and disables autonegotiation on the interface.

duplex half

speed 100

Forces 100-Mbps and half-duplex operation, and disables autonegotiation on the interface.

duplex full

speed 100

Forces 100-Mbps and full-duplex operation, and disables autonegotiation on the interface.

duplex half

speed 1000

Forces 1000-Mbps and half-duplex operation, and disables autonegotiation on the interface (Gigabit Ethernet only).

duplex full

speed 1000

Forces 1000-Mbps and full-duplex operation, and disables autonegotiation on the interface (Gigabit Ethernet only).


Examples

The following example shows how to configure full-duplex operation on a Cisco AS5300:

Router(config)# interface fastethernet 0
Router(config-if)# duplex full

The following example specifies advertisement of half-duplex support only, and either 10-Mbps or 100-Mbps capability during autonegotiation for the second interface (port 1) on the SPA located in the bottom subslot (1) of the MSC that is installed in slot 2 of the Cisco 7304 router:

Router# configure terminal

Router(config)# interface fastethernet 2/1/1

Router(config-if)# duplex half

Router(config-if)# speed auto


With this configuration, the interface advertises the following capabilities during autonegotiation:

10 Mbps and half duplex

100 Mbps and half duplex


Note Flow control support is always advertised when autonegotiation is enabled.

Usage Guidelines

This command advertises routing changes for EIGRP traffic only.

The REPLY sent to any QUERY will always contain the latest metric information. Exceptions which will result in immediate UPDATE being sent:

A down interface

A down route

Any change in metric which results in the router selecting a new next hop

Change-based Dampening

The default value for the change tolerance will be 50% of the computed metric. It can be configured in the range from 0 to 100 percent. If the metric change of the interface is not greater (or less) than the current metric plus or minus the specified amount, the change will not result in a routing change, and no update will be sent to other adjacencies.

Interval-based Dampening

The default value for the update intervals is 30 seconds. It can be configured in the range from 0 to 64535 seconds. If this option is specified, changes in routes learned though this interface, or in the interface metrics, will not be advertised to adjacencies until the specified interval is met. When the timer expires, any changes detected in any routes learned through the interface, or the metric reported by the interfaces will be sent out.

Examples

Change-based Dampening Example

The following example sets the threshold to 50 percent tolerance routing updates involving VMI interfaces and peers:

interface vmi1

This configuration is done automatically if you are using old-style slip address commands. However, you must configure it manually if you configure SLIP or PPP via the interface async command.

On lines configured for interactive use, encapsulation is selected by the user when they establish a connection with the slip or ppp EXEC command.

IP Control Protocol (IPCP) is the part of PPP that brings up and configures IP links. After devices at both ends of a connection communicate and bring up PPP, they bring up the control protocol for each network protocol that they intend to run over the PPP link such as IP or IPX. If you have problems passing IP packets and the show interface command shows that line is up, use the negotiations command to see if and where the negotiations are failing. You might have different versions of software running, or different versions of PPP, in which case you might need to upgrade your software or turn off PPP option negotiations. All IPCP options as listed in RFC 1332, PPP Internet Protocol Control Protocol (IPCP), are supported on asynchronous lines. Only Option 2, TCP/IP header compression, is supported on synchronous interfaces.

PPP echo requests are used as keepalive packets to detect line failure. The no keepalive command can be used to disable echo requests. For more information about the no keepalive command, refer to the chapter "IP Services Commands" in the Cisco IOS IP Command Reference, Volume 1 of 4: Addressing and Services and to the chapter "Configuring IP Services" in the Cisco IOS IP Configuration Guide.

To use SLIP or PPP, the Cisco IOS software must be configured with an IP routing protocol or with the ip host-routing command. This configuration is done automatically if you are using old-style slip address commands. However, you must configure it manually if you configure SLIP or PPP via the interface async command.


Note Disable software flow control on SLIP and PPP lines before using the encapsulation command.


SS7

The SS7 encapsulation command is new with the Integrated SLT feature and is available only for interface serial objects created by the channel-group command. For network access server (NAS) platforms, the encapsulation for channel group serial interface objects defaults to HDLC. You must explicitly set the encapsulation type to SS7 to override this default.

When encapsulation is set to SS7, the encapsulation command for that object is no longer available. A serial SS7 link is deleted only when its associated dial feature card (DFC) card is removed. As with existing Cisco 26xx-based SLTs, you do not need to specify whether the SS7 link is to be used as an A-link or an F-link.

By itself this command does not select the correct encapsulation type. Therefore, once created, you must set the encapsulation type to the new SS7 value, as well as assign a session channel ID to the link at the serial interface command level. The configuration on a digital SS7 link can be saved (no shutdown) only when its encapsulation is successfully set to SS7 and it has been assigned a channel identifier.

VLANs

Do not configure encapsulation on the native VLAN of an IEEE 802.1q trunk without the native keyword. (Always use the native keyword when the vlan-id is the ID of the IEEE 802.1q native VLAN.)

For detailed information on use of this command with VLANs, refer to the Cisco IOS Switching Services Configuration Guide and the Cisco IOS Switching Services Command Reference.

Examples

The following example shows how to reset HDLC serial encapsulation on serial interface 1:

Router(config)# interface serial 1
Router(config-if)# encapsulation hdlc

The following example shows how to enable PPP encapsulation on serial interface 0:

Router(config)# interface serial 0
Router(config-if)# encapsulation ppp

The following example shows how to configure async interface 1 for PPP encapsulation:

Router(config)# interface async 1
Router(config-if)# encapsulation ppp

To learn more about the virtual serial interface and check SS7 encapsulation, enter the show interfaces serial slot/trunk:channel-group command in privileged EXEC mode, as in the following example:

Router# show interfaces serial 7/3:1

Usage Guidelines


Note Entering the no errdisable detect cause packet-buffer-error command allows you to detect the fault that triggers a power cycle of the affected module.


A cause (bpduguard, dtp-flap, link-flap, pagp-flap, root-guard, udld) is defined as the reason why the error-disabled state occurred. When a cause is detected on an interface, the interface is placed in an error-disabled state (an operational state that is similiar to the link-down state).

You must enter the shutdown and then the no shutdown commands to recover an interface manually from the error-disable state.

Examples

This example shows how to enable the error-disable detection for the Layer 2 protocol-tunnel guard error-disable cause:

Router(config)# errdisable detect cause l2ptguard
Router(config)#

Usage Guidelines

The secure-violation option is not supported.

A cause (bpduguard, dhcp-rate-limit, dtp-flap, l2ptguard, link-flap, pagp-flap, security-violation, channel-misconfig, psecure-violation, udld, or unicast-flood) is defined as the reason why the error-disabled state occurred. When a cause is detected on an interface, the interface is placed in an error-disabled state (an operational state that is similiar to the link-down state). If you do not enable errdisable recovery for the cause, the interface stays in the error-disabled state until a shutdown and no shutdown occurs. If you enable recovery for a cause, the interface is brought out of the error-disabled state and allowed to retry operation once all the causes have timed out.

You must enter the shutdown and then the no shutdown commands to recover an interface manually from the error-disabled state.

Examples

This example shows how to enable the recovery timer for the BPDU-guard error-disable cause:

Router(config)# errdisable recovery cause bpduguard
Router(config)# 

This example shows how to set the timer to 300 seconds:

Router(config)# errdisable recovery interval 300

error throttling

To stop receiving error data packets on multiple channel groups configured on all interfaces on the T1 controller of a channelized T3 port adapter, use the error throttling command in T3 controller configuration mode. To continue receiving error data packets on all channels on the T1 controller, use the no form of this command.

error throttling

no error throttling

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Defaults

The error throttling command is enabled by default.

Command Modes

T3 controller configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(19c)

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Use the show controllers t3 command to display whether the current router configuration has error throttling enabled or disabled.

The error throttling command disables the T1 level clock in order to stop receiving error data packets on a T1 controller.

When a T1 has multiple channel groups configured over it, error throttling affects all the channels on a T1. If any single interface receives a burst of errors, over a short duration, such as 400 errors in 100 milliseconds, the T1 clock is turned off for a period of 100 milliseconds. The reason is that when there is a high rate of errors, the error rate is very likely to continue for a long duration of time. Using error throttling to stop receiving the error data packets reduces wasteful processing and discarding of error packets.

The no error throttling command allows all the error data packets to be processed, dropped, and accounted for on a T1 controller. When the error rate is high, the CPU can become overloaded.

When the no error throttling command is used to configure a T3 port, the configuration applies to all of the 28 associated T1 channels.

Examples

The following example enables error throttling by disabling the T1 clock in order to stop receiving error data packets on a T1 controller:

Router(config-controller)# error throttling

The following example uses the show controllers t3 command to display partial output showing that error throttling is enabled on the T1 controller:

Router# show controllers t3 2/1/0

T3 2/1/0 is down.  Hardware is 2CT3 single wide port adapter
  CT3 H/W Version: 0.2.2, CT3 ROM Version: 1.0, CT3 F/W Version: 2.5.1
  FREEDM version: 1, reset 0 resurrect 0
  Applique type is Channelized T3
