Re: Help w/ Frame Relay and subinterfaces

duboismatthew · ‎01-17-2002

I am a CCNA and starting to work on my CCNP, I just started working for a new company and my first project is to find out what was wrong with their Frame Relay connection and FIX IT!. I have pasted the config below that was done by somebody else.

Can somebody help me figure this out?

Thanks in advance,

Matt

Notes:

This is new and was configured by somebody else but has never worked. (I noticed that the PVC has been deleted...Could that be it and what command would turn it on?)

"deleted" in this case means that there is no LMI being received for this PVC on your serial interface, but you have referenced the DLCI number in your config.

Eg: You have serial0/0.1 using the config "frame-relay interface-dlci 110". If you don't receive LMI for DLCI 110, show fame pvc says that 110 is "deleted".

What would really help is a "show int s0/0".

It looks like you're up/down on your main interface which probably means that your LMI setting is wrong. You'll need to verify some things with the telco, but I can't be sure until we see the "show int".

Mick.

Can you paste the "show int S0/0" results? Looks like LMI issues...

Your problem is right here:

Received 0 broadcasts, 0 runts, 1 giants, 0 throttles 325239 input errors, 16435 CRC, 144433 frame, 0 overrun, 0 ignored, 164371 abort

It would appear that you have a problem talking to the telco. Verify the following with telco:

1) Framing (ESF) and linecoding (b8zs).

2) Channels used. It appears you're configured for all 24 channels of a T1.

3) Have them Loop the connection and test for errors.

4) Since this is a WIC, verify that this isn't a "wet" (sealing current) line.

5) Make sure your cable to the T1 Smartjack is good.

These are the tough ones, and don't believe the telco when they say that their circuit is fine. They're notorious for saying that without properly testing it first.

Mick.

duboismatthew · ‎01-17-2002

This is great info, I noticed you said we are set for all 24 channels, a full T1. I have instructions here that say "have a 512k ports, so you must setup you CSU/DSU for 512k or 8 DS0 channels."

If that is the error how would I go about changing that?

By the way we have a 2600 series with an internal CSU/DSU,

Thanks again

matt

MickPhelps · ‎01-17-2002

If you're using the first 8 channels, place this in the Serial0/0 config:

service-module t1 timeslots 1-8 speed 64

Mick.

duboismatthew · ‎01-17-2002

I just finished that and it worked great, the line came up, but I am not able to see the other router and I am not able to ping myself (ser 0/0.1), I am sure it is related but what do you think

Thanks again,

matt

MickPhelps · ‎01-17-2002

Now, do a show int ser0/0 and a show frame pvc.

This will tell us alot.

Also, do you have other access to the remote side so we can do the same thing?

Mick.

MickPhelps · ‎01-17-2002

You should probably "clear counter" on both routers to assist in troubleshooting but they look good from here. There are alot of errors on the remote router but this could be old since the counters have never been cleared, and the interface is up/up.

You should be able to ping the remote router now. Since the status is "active", this means that both sides of the PVC are up. "Inactive" means that only one side is up.

On both sides:

clear counters

show frame pvc

show int s0/0

sh ip int brief

sh ver

Post this and we'll see what's what.

Mick.

duboismatthew · ‎01-17-2002

I'll do that and post it, but shouldn't I be able to ping my subinterface ser 0/0.1

matt

MickPhelps · ‎01-17-2002

Probably, but I've seen that fail for odd reasons.

What is the IP address of the remote side, and is it also a p2p sub-if? You should be able to ping it.
