BAD E1 controller?

horvaia
Level 1
Level 1

Hello,

I have a NM-2CE1U= network module.

S/N:26568717 and it seems that one

controller on this network modul is

malfunctioning. The line protocol

on the interface is constantly in down

status. I've tested already all the

variation of the port. I made a local

loopback and I wasn't able to see the loop on the interface. Before the loop no data came in or went out on the interface. The another E1 controller on

this netwrok module works fine. Has anyone met this problem before?

What should I do?

Thanks in advance,

Andras

Hi

can you also include show controllers e1 o/p in ur post ?

status during normal conditions as well as during looped condition so that it can be checked out for the possible alarms/errors..

regds

Hi,

See the attached information. The strange thing is that

I can't see any error on the interface. The indicator

led also doesn't show any error both in loop or

in normal operation mode. Just the line protocol doesn't come up. This interface was a member in a

multilink bundle and once it has gone

without any CRC etc... and I have checked the

physicall line with the telco... so this problem

seems me very strange...

(at this time the tests was made locally)

Hi

Since you are using ppp as encapsulation and its in a bundle i dont thin u will get ur interface status as up up..we did have faced the same kinda issues but thats with normal NM-8AS card.

But i would suggest you to change the encapsulation to HDLC on that serial link and check for loop.

before doing that do backup ur whole config as well the particular interface config..

i think that should atleast help to get a point isolated and help to move further.

regds

hi

i was pointing that during looped condition and if ur serial interface is configured in a multilink bundle you may not see the loop..

regds

ok. sorry.

Hi,

Well I changed the encapsualtion on the interface but

I still can't see the loop. This is very strange...

The problem is I can't see the loop on the

interface but in normal operation I would see the

loop on it if I put a loop on it. And I even don't

know where to search regarding this problem.
