VWIC G.703 Card, Protocol Down

I have a 2600XM router fitted with NM-2W. There is a wic in slot 0 and a VWIC2-2MFT-G.703 card in slot 1. I have configured both the ports on this card. One of the ports is working perfectly but when I connect a line to another port, it shows

"Interface is up, Line protocol is down"

Controllers and interfaces for both the ports are configured identically.

Here is the config

card type e1 1 1

controller e1 1/2

framing no-crc4

channel-group 0 timeslots 1-31

controller e1 1/3

framing no-crc4

channel-group 0 timeslots 1-31

interface serial 1/2:0

bandwidth 1984

ip address xx.xx.xx.xx xx.xx.xx.xx

interface serial 1/3:0

bandwidth 1984

ip address xx.xx.xx.xx xx.xx.xx.xx

This config works perfectly for 1/3 but the link on 1/2 does not work. If we do shut/no shut on the interface, the link comes up/up but line protocol goes down after 10-15 secs. Also, I noticed that all kind of errors like input errors, codes, frame, overruns keep increasing very rapidly and also router cpu utilization goes up considerably

The same link, when connected to a modem works perfectly fine.

Keepalives are set for 10 sec

If anybody has any idea about this, please let me know

Best Regards,

Anand P. Diwakar

Hi Anand,

Did you try swapping the 1/3 to 1/2. What happens when you do that. Looking at your discription for errors it seems some physical media issue. First try swapping the other E1 to 1/2 and see if that works OK. If really it works, then use the loopback troubleshooting starting from local end to remote end and go on...
