Hi,

  In one of my client location cisco 1841 router and the link is down.

while i troubleshooting the serial interface they show like this.

so i check with the service provider they told line is ok.

  how to i locate the problem.

how to troubleshoot??/where is the problem our end or service provider end???

Hi,

It seems that you have errors and CRC to your interface

  424 input errors, 424 CRC, 213 frame, 4 overrun, 0 ignored, 212 abort

Be sure that the link is ok.

you should have a layer 2 problem.

Serial0/1/0 is up, line protocol is down

Check the mtu and full duplex is the same to both interface ends.

Also check any L2 encapsulation config. PPP config should be the correct and similar to both ends

Hope that helps

Vasilis


I clear the error and CRC using the command clear counter.

Can u check any problem in my config.

How to check mtu value??

Any problem in modem or cable???

hi,

ask the SP to give you a loopback from the nearest exchange towards the 1841. you must check from inside LAN and should see the serial link to be up/up (looped). if it's still up/down, push the SP to dispatch an onsite technician to check the cabling or the NTU.

I am not getting loop from my nearest exchange.

Any problem in modem or sp cable pair??

yes and it's highly probable. ask the SP to send a tech in order to rectify your issue.

Thanks for ur information...

Hi,

I do not see any problem to your config.

Your mtu value can be checked with the show interface command.

To the provided output is 1500bytes

Serial0/1/0 is up, line protocol is down

  Hardware is GT96K Serial

  Internet address is 192.168.109.53/30

  MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1544 Kbit/sec, DLY 20000 usec,

  Encapsulation PPP

It should be the same to the other endpoint.

The ppp negotiation is stuck to the LCP phase

(from your output)

Serial0/1/0 is up, line protocol is down

  Hardware is GT96K Serial

  Internet address is 192.168.109.53/30

  MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1544 Kbit/sec, DLY 20000 usec,

     reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255

  Encapsulation PPP, LCP ACKsent, loopback not set

If you type debug ppp negotiation you will see that L2 fails (ppp to be established) and this is the reason that the interface is up/down

Regards,

Vasilis

I given the command debug ppp negotiation in the router

it shows like

PPP protocol negotiation debugging is on.

No error has came.

After that what i am to check?

PPP can not be established otherwise you should see this subent as connected to the show ip route output.

Can you see this subnet to the routing table?

It seems that should be an error in the physical layer. I would suggest to procced with the actions mentioned by johnlloyd13
