Dear Sir

I have showd the desired output below .We have checked two router configs ,it is same only .clock source should be different in two routers ?

Is there anything else to check ?Router model is 7200 VXR .Type or port adapter means ? pos oc3 is used .We did loopback line & internal with which protocol comes up .So they say its media problem .But checking with our OF meters media is ok with break & loop condition .Even that loop condition (loop back line from our router )can be seen in distant end router .But the point to note is when the other end give router or physical loop ,we are not getting the status looped in our router as they get when we give router/physical loop .We have been working on it since a week .It will be helpful if u can please guide us

Dear sir

I cant attach the the other o/p over here since it exceeds the limit .If u can give ur email id i will send it to u

Dear sir

Thanks a lot for ur guidance & support .I changed the framing from SOnet to sdh ,now everything has come up & router alarm has also gone in both ends & we are both able to ping each other.but now my concern is that the remote end router framing is still configured as SONET ,will that cause any problem ?

Sorry for the late response. It seems we are in very different time zones.

The frame type mismatch might be detected by the ADMs causing an alarm to be reported or it might not. Typical configuration is same framing type at both router endpoints, so make sure both sides are configured for the same framing type. That is probably SDH in your case, since changing one side from SONET to SDH cleared your alarm.

Also, configure the clock-source to 'line' at both ends to derive clocking from the SONET/SDH network, which normally has better clock stratum levels than the routers. Otherwise, you might observe some timing errors that affect the quality of your link facility.

If everything goes well, clear the counters of the router interfaces and examine the output of "show controller pos1/0" to monitor the circuit for a while and confirm good status before using it to forward traffic. If there are any issues at this point, contact your circuit provider to resolve them.

Dear sir

Even with one side SDH itself the network seems to work fine .Is it necessary that we should change configuration in both routers ?Also how can we escalate the o/p of show controller pos ,to know whether everything is going fine ?how to clear counters etc ? can u pls guide on that as well ?

What do you mean by "the network seems to work fine"? Are you forwarding real traffic over it?

As I said previously, from my experience it is common to have similar configuration at both sides. Configurations that work with different frame types usually have some type of translation mechanism in the network between the router endpoints. The only way to make sure what the correct configuration is at both sides is to contact your circuit provider. Your routers must be in agreement with the setup of the circuit provider's equipment.

I am not sure what you mean by your suggestion to escalate. This forum is a forum of volunteers. If other volunteers know more about how your issue can be resolved, they can sure post their ideas here without me having to explicitly request it.

I would suggest you posted the output of "show controller pos" here (either in separate messages or you could attach a .txt file with the requested output). You can clear the counters with the command "clear counters pos1/0" for example. Please try to send output from both routers.

I forgot to say something earlier. Make sure any loops you have placed at earlier stages of troubleshooting have been removed before issuing pings from any of the routers towards the other.
