Serial link trouble

bikash_bd · ‎10-29-2006

Dear Friends,

I have a numbers of serial links. I am using 3700,2600 and 1941 series router.Recently I am experienced a trouble in my 3700 and 1941 series router. Problem is as belows:

The seral link goes off . It shows that the serial is up but the line protocol is down.The e1 controller is alwas up.For testing link, I set the local loopback and found that teh link is still down. After some time , the link gets up autometically. Please see the sh interface result before and after loop back. Please help as soon as possible and feel free to querey.

Yours,

bikash

Hello,

looking at your output, there seems to be a physical problem with either your cabling, the modem attached to your serial interface, or the interface(s) themselves. The high number of input errors, CRC, frame, and overrun errors point to such a phyiscal problem. If possible, try and replace the cable, switch to another interface, or have your ISP run a loopback test to the modem (which they should be able to do).

HTH,

Dear GNT,

I have no modem.Microwave transmission link exists between the two E1 card of two routers. Four diffrenet routers are showing these type of phenomena . Interesting thing is that the trouble is corrected by itself after some time.

Hi Bikash

From my personal experience with RF/Microwave links better check the reliability of the link with the help of the vendor whoever is maintaining the link.

Your provider may have the required tools to check the reliability and set the same on error free frequency too if he finds some drops or interference with the current frequency.
