Network-clock synchronization PSTN

Thomas P
Level 1
Level 1

Hello,

I have an issue to synchronize the network clock of my ISR 4321 with my operator.

Here is the configuration in place:

controller E1 0/1/0
 framing no-crc4
 clock source line primary
 pri-group timeslots 1-31

!

network-clock synchronization automatic
network-clock input-source 1 controller E1 0/1/0

The result of the show network-clock command:

There are no network clock sources configured
 Active source = UNAVAILABLE


 All Network Clock Configuration
---------------------------------
 Priority  Clock Source             State                         Reason

 Current operating mode is Revertive

 Current OOR Switchover mode is Switchover


There are no slots disabled from participating in network clocking

Is there a command missing?

Thanks for your help.

Thomas.

Hello,

I used this documentation to configure my router but I'm not able to enter this command : network-clock input-source priority controller E1 0/1/0 under the controller E1

Here is the show version:

Cisco IOS XE Software, Version 03.17.01.S - Standard Support Release
Cisco IOS Software, ISR Software (X86_64_LINUX_IOSD-UNIVERSALK9-M), Version 15.6(1)S1, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc3)

It's the same thing with the IOS 3.16.

Thank you for your help.

Hello,

I finally succeded to have the service provider by phone and he told me that his equipment was the one which has to synchronize to my equipment. Not the other way....

I'm sorry, I feel like I wasted your time.

Thank you for your help.

Thomas.

thanks for update.

what does "show network-clocks synchronization"  command gives output?

regds,

Hi,

I am going through the exact same situation as Thomas did. 4331 router with single E1 interface. My telco is Telmex (Mexico) and their E1 R2 circuit handoff was a pair of coaxial cables for which I had to use BNC-to-RJ45 converter. I had very hard time getting the configuration information from the telco which I got after so many requests. The circuit came up after applying the settings and seemed to have stayed up for a while. There were no errors in the line for a while but now I am seeing tones of slip seconds, line code violations, path code violations errors. Telco says they don't see any issues at their end. And sadly I don't see issues at my end either. Then I am trying to figure out where exactly is the issue?

I am attaching the output of sh controller e1

E1 0/1/0 is up.
  Applique type is Channelized E1 - unbalanced
  No alarms detected.
  alarm-trigger is not set
  Framing is no-crc4, Line Code is HDB3, Clock Source is Line Primary.
  International Bit: 1, National Bits: 11111
  Data in current interval (360 seconds elapsed):
     0 Line Code Violations, 0 Path Code Violations
     10 Slip Secs, 0 Fr Loss Secs, 0 Line Err Secs, 0 Degraded Mins
     10 Errored Secs, 0 Bursty Err Secs, 0 Severely Err Secs, 0 Unavail Secs
  Total Data (last 1 15 minute intervals):
     4 Line Code Violations, 241 Path Code Violations,
     41 Slip Secs, 163 Fr Loss Secs, 3 Line Err Secs, 0 Degraded Mins,
     381 Errored Secs, 0 Bursty Err Secs, 0 Severely Err Secs, 160 Unavail Secs

And here is the controller configuration

controller E1 0/1/0
 framing no-crc4
 clock source line primary
 line-termination 75-ohm
 ds0-group 1 timeslots 1-15,17-31 type r2-digital r2-compelled ani
 cas-custom 1
  country telmex
  debounce-time 10
  seizure-ack-time 40
  release-ack
  category 2
  answer-signal group-b 1
  caller-digits 4
  dnis-digits min 4 max 4
  ani-digits min 0 max 10
  answer-guard-time 1000
  groupa-callerid-end

Clocking information

 clock source line primary
network-clock synchronization automatic
network-clock input-source 1 controller E1 0/1/0

output of show network-clock

There are no network clock sources configured
 Active source = UNAVAILABLE

 All Network Clock Configuration
---------------------------------
 Priority  Clock Source             State                         Reason
 Current operating mode is Revertive
 Current OOR Switchover mode is Switchover

There are no slots disabled from participating in network clocking

Can someone give me any insights based on above outputs and configuration where I should be looking or what configuration change is required in order to resolve this problem.

Thank you so much,

Khanal

Hi Khanal,

did you solve this problem?, could you share the config?

Thanks

Sorry we had lots of issues with the E1 circuit and went with SIP solution. Thanks
