addalmslot

Enables the MAJOR and MINOR alarm indicators on an Alarm Relay Card (ARC) or Alarm Relay Module (ARM). It also configures the slot to support external alarms from the Alarm Relay Interface (ARI) back card. You can use this command at any node that can provide external alarm indications to an alarm reporting system. The ARC or ARM can reside in any front slot but usually resides in the right-most slot.

addextlp

Places an external device in loopback mode. The addextlp command applies to existing connections on an SDP, HDM, LDP, or LDM. A "near" loopback causes the NEAR EIA template to be applied. A `far' loopback causes the FAR EIA template to be applied to the data port. The loopback remains in place until removed by the dellp command.

The dspcons command shows which connections are in loopback mode. Specifying an "n" after the channel indicates a near loopback, and an "f" indicates a far loopback. Because addextlp takes the specified connections out of service, use it only when a service disruption is tolerable.

Next Command:   
 
 

Table 14-2: addextlp-Parameters
Parameter Description

channel

Specifies the channel to loopback in the format slot.port.

n /f

Specifies whether the loopback is near or far. An "n" specifies near; an "f" specifies far. For a non-DDS port, the near or far modem is placed in loopback, if it supports this function. For a DDS port, the external DDS device is placed in CSU loopback. Local channels must be configured as OCU in order to place them in external loopback.

addloclp

The addloclp command places the following types of channels in local loopback mode:

For voice connections, addloclp creates a signal path from a channel or group of channels on an incoming line then back out to the line. External test equipment can test the integrity of the path at the T1 DS0 level. Figure 14-1 shows a local loopback on a voice channel.


Figure 14-1: Local Loopback on a Voice Channel


For data connections, addloclp creates a signal path from the incoming data port or set of ports back to these same port(s) through the local CDP/CVM, SDP/HDM, or LDP/LDM. External test equipment can then test the integrity of the path. Figure 14-2 illustrates a local loopback on a data connection.


Figure 14-2: Local Loopback on a Data Connection


A local loopback can simultaneously exist at both ends of a connection. However, a local loopback and a remote loopback cannot co-exist on a connection. (See the addrmtlp description for more information.)

Prior to executing a loopback, the IPX or IGX node performs signal and code conditioning to remove the connection from service. The loopback remains in place until removed by the dellp command. Only existing connections can be looped back. Use the dspcons command to see which connections are looped back. A flashing right parenthesis ")" or left parenthesis "(" is used in the connections display to indicate a loopback. The direction and location of the parenthesis depends on whether the loopback is local or remote and which end of the connection was used to establish the loopback. A local loopback initiated from the local end of the connection looks like this in the connections display:

Remote Node

Remote Channel

12.1

alpha

15.1

A local loopback initiated from the remote end of the connection looks like this:

Local Channel

Remote Node

Remote Channel

15.1

In frame relay connection loopback mode (DLCI included in command), all packets from the far-end of the connection are dropped. The far-end system software is informed of the loopback. In port loopback mode (port specified without a DLCI), all packets for this port are dropped and each opposite end is informed of the loopback mode. The format slot.port is used in port mode to loop just the port. The data is looped directly in the FRI back card, so no data reaches the MUXBUS or CELLBUS. The format slot.port.DLCI is used in connection (channel) mode to loop a specific channel. Note that this can affect up to 252 connections (channels) in port loopback mode.

Because the addloclp command causes the connection(s) to be removed from service, loopbacks should be used only when a service disruption can be tolerated. Remote loopbacks are established with the addrmtlp command. Both local and remote loopbacks are removed by the dellp command. Loopbacks for data channels can also be initiated by pressing a button on the front of the associated data card.

Frame Relay Local Loops with Port Concentrator

When a frame relay port or connection is located on a Port Concentrator instead of directly on an FRP or FRM card, the data test path is different. When just the <port> parameter is used, incoming data is looped back out on the Port Concentrator port:


Figure 14-3: Local Loop on Port Concentrator


This loop disrupts all frame relay connections on the port that is under test.

When a connection is specified by <port.dlci> parameters, the connection is looped back at the FRM-2 or FRP-2 interface with the IGX or IPX card bus:


Figure 14-4: Local Loop on FRM-2 or FRP-2


As shown, this test verifies the operation of all components from the Port Concentrator to IPX/IGX interface with the FRP-2 or FRM-2 card.

This tests interrupts only the specified connection on the Port Concentrator port.

addlocrmtlp

Adds support of a local-remote loopback for testing multi-segment connections in a tiered network. The effect is to instruct the remote node to set up a remote loopback. The addlocrmtlp command must be executed prior to using tstcon and tstdelay for multi-segment connections. For interface shelves, you can execute addlocrmtlp on either the interface shelf (after telnetting to it). After testing is complete, remove the local-remote loop by executing dellp. A parenthesis on the screen shows the loop's endpoint.

Table 14-8: addlocrmtlp-Parameters
Parameter Description

channels(s)

The connection endpoint on the local node.

addrmtlp

The addrmtlp command places the following types of channels in remote loopback mode:

For voice connections, addrmtlp loops the information stream from the designated channel or group of channels on an incoming circuit line across the network and loops it back to the circuit line by way of the remote CDP or CVM. External test equipment can then test the integrity of the path at the T1 DS0 level. The following illustrates a remote loopback on a voice channel.


Figure 14-5: Remote Loopback on a Voice Channe
l

For data connections, addrmtlp transfers the information stream from the designated channels through the network and loops it back to the data port(s) through a remote SDP, HDM, LDM, or LDP. External test equipment can then test the integrity of the path. The following illustrates a data connection remote loopback.


Figure 14-6: Remote Loopback on a Data Connection

Prior to executing the loopback, the IPX or IGX node applies signalling template bit patterns to the A, B, C, and D signalling bits at the remote end to remove the connection from service. The loopback remains in place until removed by the dellp command. Only existing connections (those that have been entered with the add-on command) can be looped back. You cannot establish a remote loopback on a connection that is already looped back, either locally or remotely. (See the addloclp command for more information on local loopbacks.)

Use the dspcons command to see which connections are looped back. A flashing left parenthesis "(" or right parenthesis ")" is used in the connections display to indicate a loopback. The direction and location of the parenthesis depends on whether the loopback is local or remote and which end of the connection was used to establish the loopback. A remote loopback initiated from the local end of the connection looks like this:

A remote loopback initiated from the remote end of the connection looks like this:

For remote loopback of frame relay connections, note that in remote loopback mode, if the transmit minimum bandwidth exceeds the receive minimum bandwidth, then loopback data may be dropped. For this reason, the connection speeds will be checked and the user will receive the following message if there is a problem:

  "Warning—Receiver's BW < Originator's BW-Data may be dropped."

Because the addrmtlp command causes the connection to be removed from service, loopbacks should be used only when a service disruption can be tolerated. Local loopbacks are established with the addloclp command. Both local and remote loopbacks are removed by the dellp command. Loopbacks for data channels can also be initiated by pressing a push-button on the front of the associated data card.

Remote Loopbacks and the Port Concentrator Shelf

For frame relay remote loops, DLCI MUST be specified; entering only port number only generates an error message.

Unlike local loopbacks, remote loopbacks are not supported for frame relay ports; connections must be specified. Data incoming on the frame relay port is looped at the remote end FRM-2 or FRP-2 card.


Figure 14-7: Frame Relay Remote Loops


As shown, this test verifies the operation of IPX/IGX network components up to the interface with the remote-end FRM-2 or FRP-2. This test interrupts data traffic for only the connection specified by DLCI.

If a port concentrator is attached to the FRM-2 or FRP-2, the only difference in the loop is that the port specified to loop data is on the Port Concentrator:

clrclkalm

Clears the alarm condition attached to a clock source, either circuit line or trunk. The clock test runs continuously in a node, comparing the frequency of the node's clock source to a reference on the NPC/BCC/CC/control card. If a clock source is found to be outside preset frequency limits, it is declared defective and another clock source is selected. In order for the node to return to the original clock source, the alarm must be cleared using the clrclkalm command. The alarm may be either a "Bad Clock Source" or "Bad Clock Path" alarm.

This command allows these alarms to be cleared, allowing any new alarms to be quickly identified. The clrclnalm command can only clear alarms caused by the collection of statistical data. Alarms caused by a network failure cannot be cleared. For example, an alarm caused by a collection of bipolar errors can be cleared, but an alarm caused by a card failure cannot.

clrclnalm

Clears the alarms associated with a circuit line. Since the statistical alarms associated with a line have associated integration times, they can keep a major or minor alarm active for some time after the cause has been rectified. This command allows these alarms to be cleared, allowing any new alarms to be quickly identified.

The clrclnalm command can only clear alarms caused by the collection of statistical data. Alarms caused by a network failure cannot be cleared. For example, an alarm caused by a collection of bipolar errors can be cleared, but an alarm caused by a card failure cannot.

Full Name

Clear circuit line alarm


Note clrclnalm and clrlnalm are the same commands.

Statistics collecting takes place once per minute, so clrportstats may not clear statistics that are less than one minute old.

clrslotalms

Clears the alarm messages associated with the alarms displayed for the Display Slot Alarms command. Alarm messages are cleared for the specified slot only. These counters should be cleared before beginning any monitoring session. This command prompts the user with a "OK to Clear?" message before actually clearing the counters. Use dspslotalms to observe the slot alarms. Refer to the dspslotalms command for a description of the counters cleared by the clrslotalms command.

clrtrkalm

Clears statistical alarms associated with either a physical or virtual trunk. Since the statistical alarms associated with a trunk have associated integration times, they can keep a major or minor alarm active for some time after the cause has been rectified. The clrtrkalm allows these alarms to be cleared, allowing any new alarms to be quickly identified.

The clrtrkalm command can only clear alarms caused by the collection of statistical data. Alarms caused by a network failure cannot be cleared. For example, an alarm caused by a collection of bipolar errors can be cleared, but an alarm caused by a card failure cannot.

cnfbus

Selects the active System Bus. It should only be necessary to use this command when a problem is suspected with the currently active System Bus. As a safeguard against bus failure, each IPX node is equipped with redundant System Buses, Bus A and Bus B. Either bus can be configured as the active bus and the remaining bus is reserved as standby. Use the dspbuses command to display the current bus configuration when configuring the buses with the cnfbus command.

cnflnalm

Sets the trunk and line alarm values for failures that are statistical in nature. Statistical alarms are declared by the switch software when a cards supporting these trunks or lines report too many errors. The switch declares an alarm if the detected error rate equals the cnflnalm parameter error rate for the period of time designated by the alarm time parameter. Error rates that exceed the specified error rate cause an alarm in a proportionately shorter period of time. An alarm is cleared when the error rate remains below the rate specified by error rate for a period of time designated by the clear time.

You can configure the thresholds for alarms caused by the collection of statistics but not for the alarms caused by a network failure. For example, you can configure the threshold for an alarm caused by a collection of bipolar errors, but you cannot configure an alarm caused by a card failure.

Six parameters exist for each failure type—three for minor alarms and three for major alarms. When configuring any item for a minor or major alarm, you must enter a value. You can enter a new value or enter the current value.

Table 14-23 describes the parameters for cnflnalm. For each failure type listed in Table 14-23, the alarm classes, the possible error rate options, and default alarm times and clear times are listed in Table 14-24. Table 14-25 describes the error rate options listed in Table 14-24.

alarm class

Specifies the class of alarm to be configured for the specified alarm type. Valid alarm classes are:

  • Minor alarm

  • Major alarm

rates

Specifies the error rate at which the error must occur before an alarm is declared. The choices for error rates vary depending on the failure type and the alarm class. The choices are called out as Error Rate Options. The default error rates are indicated. With the exception of a Vpd (voice packets dropped) failure, you enter the number corresponding to the error rate. For Vpd (voice packets dropped) failures, you enter a percentage for the dropped packet rate in the range 1%-10%. See Table 14-24 for failure type and Table 14-25 for error rate options.

alarm time

Specifies the time that a condition must exceed a threshold before an alarm is declared. For minor alarms, the alarm time has a range of 3-10 minutes. For major alarms, the alarm time has a range of 10-250 seconds.

clear time

Specifies the time that the condition must exceed the selected threshold before the alarm is cleared. For minor alarms, the clear time has a range of 3-10 minutes. For major alarms, the clear time has a range of 10-250 seconds.

cnftrkalm

Configures trunk alarm reporting. When trunks are upped and added to the network, alarm reporting automatically is enabled. The cnftrkalm command lets you disable alarms on a trunk. Disabling alarms may be useful, for example, for trunks that are connected to the node but not yet in service or if the node is experiencing occasional bursts of errors but is still operational. (When the alarms are enabled, they cause an alarm output from the DTI Group Alarm Connector (if present) and an alarm indication on the StrataView Plus terminal.)

Description

Disable trunk alarms on trunk 14, which has a major alarm. After using this command to disable the alarms, the only indication that the alarms have been disabled is to observe the dspalms screen while a trunk alarm exists. The dspalms screen displays the word "disabled" after "PLN Alarms." Therefore, when you disable trunk alarms, be sure to note this action so you remember to enable alarms after the cause of the trunk failure has been corrected.

dellp

Deletes an external, local, remote, or local-remote (tiered nets) loopback form the designated channel, set of channels, or port. After the loopback is deleted, any conditioning applied during the loopback process is removed and service is restored. Local loopbacks are added with the addloclp command, and remote loopbacks are added with the addrmtlp command. External loopbacks are added with the addextlp command. A local loop can be deleted only from the node that added it. However, a remote loop can be deleted from the node at either end of the connection. Local-remote loopbacks are added with the addlocrmtlp command. Note that with local-remote loopbacks, execution of dellp is mandatory after testing is complete, otherwise continuity errors will follow.

Table 14-27: dellp-Parameters
Parameter Description

channels

Specifies the channel or set of channels whose loopback is to be deleted. The format for channel depends on the type of connection, as follows:

Voice connection: slot.channel
Data connection: slot.port
Frame relay connection: slot.port.DLCI
ATM connections: slot.port.vpi.vci
Access device: slot.port.connection_ID

dncd

Downs (or deactivates) a card. When you down a card, it is no longer available as a node resource. You should down a card before you remove it from a card cage. Before it actually downs an active card, the node determines if a standby card is available. If no standby card is present, the node gives you an opportunity to abort the command. If a standby card of the same type is available and you execute dncd, the standby card is activated. If no standby card is available and you execute the command, a major alarm results. To activate a downed card, use the upcd command.


Note If you remove a card from a card cage without first executing dncd, no warning appears.

You cannot down a control card (NPC, NPM, or BCC). Use switchcc for control cards.

dspbob

Shows the current state of all inputs from user equipment to the node the state of all outputs from the node to the user equipment. The display is real-time and updated at a user-specified interval. The display refreshes at the designated interval until the Delete key is pressed or until it times out. See the cnfict description for information on configuring data interfaces. When used with Frame Relay T1/E1 applications, dspbob displays the message "This FRP does not support V.35 ports."

Displaying Signal Status for Port Concentrator Ports

If an FRM-2 or FRP-2 card connects to a Port Concentrator Shelf (PCS), up to 44 ports can be specified with the port parameter. In this case, dspbob displays the signal status for ports on the PCS. The PCS relays any changes in signal states to the FRM-2 or FRP-2, so a slight delay occurs when signals are updated.

When used for PCS ports, dspbob has an optional parameter of measuring port clock speed. Selection of this parameter temporarily interrupts all traffic on the logical port. The events that take place upon input of this parameter are:

    1. The port is disabled.

    2. Two invalid frames are timed as they go out the port.

    3. The port is reactivated.
