Hi. I just want some advices to troubleshoot an issue that we have with a CISCO2951/K9. It connects to Internet through the GigabitEthernet0/1 interface. Since a few days ago, the Gi0/1 interface is flapping many times in a day:
100468: Oct 30 12:16:28 CST: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface GigabitEthernet0/1, changed state to down
100469: Oct 30 12:16:29 CST: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface GigabitEthernet0/1, changed state to down
100474: Oct 30 12:17:08 CST: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface GigabitEthernet0/1, changed state to up
100475: Oct 30 12:17:09 CST: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface GigabitEthernet0/1, changed state to up
100468: Oct 30 12:16:28 CST: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface GigabitEthernet0/1, changed state to down
100469: Oct 30 12:16:29 CST: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface GigabitEthernet0/1, changed state to down
100474: Oct 30 12:17:08 CST: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface GigabitEthernet0/1, changed state to up
100475: Oct 30 12:17:09 CST: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface GigabitEthernet0/1, changed state to up
We created an eem applet, that captures the "show clock" and "show interface gi0/1" commands as soon as the interface goes down. These are the results:
Roluter# show interf gi0/1
GigabitEthernet0/1 is down, line protocol is down

It seems it might be a cable issue, since it is showing "7 lost carrier" and CISCO says:
no carrier | Description: Cisco IOS sh interfaces counter. The number of times the carrier was not present in the transmission. Common Causes: Check for a bad cable. Check the physical connection on both sides. |
Nevertheless, we are managing this router remotely, because it is located at other city; and we don't know how to troubleshoot this issue.
What reasons could be creating the flapping? Could it be a Internet provider issue? Could it be the cable on the Gi0/1 interface? A modem issue? What is the most common reason to the "lost carrier" log?
Please, we need to solve this problem, and as I said before, we are managing it remotely, so we don't have physical access to it.
Thank you very much.

what kind of internet connection are y using?

I didn't answer earlier, because I was trying to contact someone in order to find out that information. Unfortunately, I haven't received an answer to confirm the kind of internet connection. As far as I know it is cable, (the guaranteed bandwidth is 20 MB). I'm going to try to communicate with the service provider, but I still don't know whether the problem is ours or theirs.
Thanks.
