We are geting ready to bring up a t3 circuit in couple of days, upon configuring t3 controller I do not

see linecode option to specify b8zs, the PE router I was told b8zs is the linecode to be used.

Would I need a different IOS code in order to have linecode parameter option available?

card type t3 4

cablelength 25

interface Serial4/0

description MPLS_CIRID_

ip address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 255.255.255.252

dsu bandwidth 44210

EDGE3845_MPLS(config)#controller t3 4/0

EDGE3845_MPLS(config-controller)#?

Hi,

B8ZS is used with T1 whereas a T3 will use B3ZS - as seen from the output of your "show" command.

Check f.e. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B8ZS and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B3ZS

So I am assuming a communication problem between your SP and you. Could you please double check with your provider, if he gave you the proper requirement?

Hope this helps! Please use the rating system.

Regards, Martin

Thank you Martin !

You nailed it, and I've learned on T3 linecode. SP miscommunication.
