In our BPX network (SW 9.2.38 and M.F.M BXM's) I've come across a problem twice whereby ATM to ATM VPC connections terminated on two remote BXM lines is showing a large discrepancy between “From Port” and “To Network” cell counts.
Whilst this is happening, the customer equipment at the remote end is seeing CRC errors continuously and the “From Network” and “To Port” on that distant end and back at the originating end BPX is matching the “To Network” all the time, as if there is nothing wrong.
I have been able to fix this in the past, by deleting and rebuilding the PVC from both ends and building to different ATM ports on other BPX nodes, then building the connection back between the two BPX ports.
Does anyone know of this problem with Virtual Path Connections or have any great commands I can use to identify where the corruption is taking place before I raise a TAC case.
