Channelized Port
Configuration Mode Commands
The channelized
port configuration mode provides the commands to create, configure,
bind, and manage the Frame Relay service ports on the channelized
line card.
IMPORTANT:
Before using these
commands, card framing should be configured for either SDH or SONET with
the framing command described in the Card Configuration Mode chapter.
IMPORTANT:
The commands or keywords/variables
that are available are dependent on platform type, product version,
and installed license(s).

preferred slot
Identifies which card
in a chassis should assume revertive (redundancy auto-recovery)
functionality should the slot/port being configured go
down. This command must be issued on a per port basis, allowing
you to configure specific ports to be used on individual LCs or
SPIO cards. For example, ports 1 through 4 could be configured as “preferred” on
the LC in slot 17 while ports 5 through 8 are “preferred” on
the LC in slot 33. In this scenario, both LCs would be in an Active
operational state while still providing LC and port redundancy for
the other.
Privilege:
Security Administrator,
Administrator
Syntax
preferred slot slot#no preferred slot
slot#
Identifies the physical
slot in the chassis where the line card is installed.
no
Disables revertive,
or auto-recovery, operation for the port.
Usage:
This command enables
or disables revertive port redundancy. So after a port failover, when
the original port is restored to service (i.e. link up) the system
will return service to that port automatically.
Disabled, which is
the default setting, causes non-revertive operation; requiring an administrative
user to manually issue a port switch to command to return service
to the original port.
pwe3-cesopsn
This command has been
deprecated and replaced by the mtp2 command.
shutdown
Terminates all processes
supporting the port or blocks the shutting down of the port. Conversely,
this command with the no keyword
enables the port.
Privilege:
Security Administrator,
Administrator
no
Enables the port’s
administrative state. When omitted the card is shutdown (removed
from service).
Usage:
Shut down a port prior
to re-cabling and/or other maintenance activities.
This command with
the no keyword
is required to bring a port into service.
Example
Example
Use the following
command to disable a port:
shutdown
Use the following
command to enable a port for service:
no shutdown
snmp trap link-status
Enables/disables
the generation and sending of an SNMP (notification) trap when the
port experiences a change of state (up or down).
Privilege:
Security Administrator,
Administrator
Syntax
[ no ] snmp
trap link-status
no
Disables the sending
of traps for link-status changes.
Usage:
Enable the sending
of link-status change traps if there is a monitoring facility that
can use the information or if there are troubleshooting activities
in progress.
threshold high-activity
Configures the port’s
high and low activity thresholds.
Privilege:
Security Administrator,
Administrator
Syntax
threshold high-activity high_thresh [ clear low_thresh ]
high_thresh
Default: 50
Sets the threshold
for the highest percentage of port activity that must be met or
exceeded, within the polling interval, to generate an alert or alarm.
high_thresh_% can
be configured to any integer value between 0 and 100.
clear low_thresh
Default: 50
Sets the threshold
for the lowest percentage level of port activity that must be met
to generate and send a clear alarm. If port activity does not drop
to or below this threshold then the alarm is maintained.
low_thresh_% can
be configured to any integer value between 0 and 100.
IMPORTANT:
This value is ignored
for the Alert model. In addition, if this value is not configured
for the Alarm model, the system assumes it is identical to the high
threshold.
Usage:
High port activity
thresholds generate alerts or alarms based on the utilization percentage of
each configured port during the specified polling interval. This
threshold is configured on a per-port basis.
Alerts or alarms are
triggered for high port activity based on the following rules:
- Enter condition: Actual
percent utilization of a port > High Threshold
- Clear condition: Actual
percent utilization of a port < Low Threshold
If a trigger condition
occurs within the polling interval, the alert or alarm will not
be generated until the end of the polling interval.
Refer to the threshold poll command
in the Global Configuration Mode Commands chapter of this reference
to configure the polling interval and the threshold monitoring command
in this chapter to enable thresholding for this value.
Example:
The following command
configures a high port utilization threshold percent of 70 and a
low threshold of 50 for an system using the Alarm thresholding model:
threshold high-activity 70 clear 50
threshold monitoring
Enables thresholding
for port-level values.
Privilege:
Security Administrator,
Administrator
Syntax
[ no ] threshold monitoring
no
Disables threshold
monitoring for port-level values. This is the default setting.
Usage:
Thresholding on the
system is used to monitor the system for conditions that could potentially
cause errors or outage. Typically, these conditions are temporary
(i.e high-activity) and are quickly resolved. However, continuous
or large numbers of these error conditions within a specific time
interval may be indicative of larger, more severe issues. The purpose
of thresholding is to help identify potentially severe conditions
so that immediate action can be taken to minimize and/or
avoid system downtime.
Thresholding reports
conditions using one of the following mechanisms:
- SNMP traps: SNMP
traps have been created that indicate the condition (high threshold
crossing and/or clear) of each of the monitored values.
Complete descriptions and other information pertaining to these
traps is located in the starentMIB(8164).starentTraps(2) section
of the SNMP MIB Reference.
The generation of
specific traps can be enabled or disabled on the system allowing
you to view only those traps that are most important to you.
- Logs: The system
provides a facility called threshold for which active and event
logs can be generated. As with other system facilities, logs are
generated Log messages pertaining to the condition of a monitored
value are generated with a severity level of WARNING.
- Alarm System: High
threshold alarms generated within the specified polling interval
are considered “outstanding” until a the condition
no longer exists and/or a condition clear alarm is generated.
“Outstanding” alarms
are reported to through the system’s alarm subsystem and
are viewable through the system’s CLI.
The following table
indicates the reporting mechanisms supported by each of the above models.

This command enables
thresholding for port-level values. Refer to the threshold high-activity,threshold rx-utilization,
and threshold
tx-utilization commands in this chapter for information
on configuring these values. In addition refer to the threshold poll command
in the Global Configuration Mode Commands chapter of this reference
for information on configuring the polling interval over which these
values are monitored.
Example
Example
Use the following
command to terminate thresholding:
no threshold monitoring
threshold rx-utilization
Configures thresholds
for receive-port utilization.
Privilege:
Security Administrator,
Administrator
Syntax
threshold rx-utilization high_thresh [ clear low_thresh ]
high_thresh
Default: 80
The high threshold
receive port utilization percentage that must be met or exceeded
within the polling interval to generate an alert or alarm.
The percentage can
be configured to any integer value between 0 and 100.
clearlow_thresh
Default: 80
Allows the configuration
of the low threshold.
The low threshold
receive port utilization percentage that maintains a previously
generated alarm condition. If the utilization percentage falls below
the low threshold within the polling interval, a clear alarm will
be generated.
The percentage can
be configured to any integer value between 0 and 100.
IMPORTANT:
This value is ignored
for the Alert model. In addition, if this value is not configured
for the Alarm model, the system assumes it is identical to the high
threshold.
Usage:
Receive port utilization
thresholds generate alerts or alarms based on the utilization percentage
of each configured port in relation to data received during the
specified polling interval. This threshold is configured on a per-port
basis.
IMPORTANT:
Ports configured for
half-duplex do not differentiate between data received and data transmitted.
Therefore, to avoid redundant alarms, it is recommended that only
the receive or transmit
utilization threshold be configured.
Alerts or alarms are
triggered for receive port utilization based on the following rules:
- Enter condition: Actual
percent utilization of a port for received data ³ High Threshold
- Clear condition: Actual
percent utilization of a port for received data < Low Threshold
If a trigger condition
occurs within the polling interval, the alert or alarm will not
be generated until the end of the polling interval.
Refer to the threshold poll command
in the Global Configuration Mode Commands chapter of this reference
to configure the polling interval and the threshold monitoring command
in this chapter to enable thresholding for this value.
Example:
The following command
configures a receive port high utilization threshold percent of
70 and a low threshold of 50 for an system using the Alarm thresholding
model:
threshold rx-utilization 70 clear 50
threshold tx-utilization
Configures thresholds
for transmit port utilization.
Privilege:
Security Administrator,
Administrator
Syntax
threshold tx-utilization high_thresh [ clear low_thresh ]
high_thresh
Default: 80
The high threshold
transmit port utilization percentage that must be met or exceeded
within the polling interval to generate an alert or alarm.
The percentage can
be configured to any integer value between 0 and 100.
clear low_thresh
Default: 80
Allows the configuration
of the low threshold.
The low threshold
transmit port utilization percentage that maintains a previously
generated alarm condition. If the utilization percentage falls below
the low threshold within the polling interval, a clear alarm will
be generated.
The percentage can
be configured to any integer value between 0 and 100.
IMPORTANT:
This value is ignored
for the Alert model. In addition, if this value is not configured
for the Alarm model, the system assumes it is identical to the high
threshold.
Usage:
Transmit port utilization
thresholds generate alerts or alarms based on the utilization percentage
of each configured port in relation to data transmitted during the
specified polling interval. This threshold is configured on a per-port
basis.
IMPORTANT:
Ports configured for
half-duplex do not differentiate between data received and data transmitted.
Therefore, to avoid redundant alarms, it is recommended that only
the receive or transmit
utilization threshold be configured.
Alerts or alarms are
triggered for transmit port utilization based on the following rules:
- Enter condition: Actual
percent utilization of a port for transmit data ³ High Threshold
- Clear condition: Actual
percent utilization of a port for transmit data < Low Threshold
If a trigger condition
occurs within the polling interval, the alert or alarm will not
be generated until the end of the polling interval.
Refer to the threshold poll command
in the Global Configuration Mode Commands chapter of this reference
to configure the polling interval and the threshold monitoring command
in this chapter to enable thresholding for this value.
Example:
The following command
configures a transmit port high utilization threshold percent of
70 and a low threshold of 50 for an system using the Alarm thresholding
model:
threshold tx-utilization
70 clear 50

Usage:
This command can be
used to configure the line threshold whether the port is active
or standby and sets a standard option for the paired values of the
line’s signal degrade and signal failure (SDSF) BER.
The SD is kept at
a value of 100 erroredBits/sec less than the corresponding
value of the SF. So if the SD threshold is configured at 1 error
in every 100000 bits/sec, then the SF threshold automatically
becomes 1 error in every 1000 bits/sec.
The port will go operationally
down as soon as the SD threshold is crossed.
