Alarms on SONET Link

Terence Payet

Hi experts,

 

We have a POS port going to our upstream provider. Recently we've noticed lots of errors on the port. We've tried changing the sfp and line cards to no avail. We have contacted our upstream provider, but they found nothing on there end...

Could it be a clocking issue?

See below logs:

The B3's indicate an issue between two PTE's (i.e. routers).
