CRS-1 plaspa port and jacket slot

[Rojer-bkk]

Hi Expert,

I need to replace SPA card to resolve the error

%L2-PLIM_ASIC-4-HW_WARNING : plaspa instance 0: (plaspa port 2 jacket slot 0) RSI Spi Error was reported

The plaspa port 2 jacket slot 0 would be SPA slot 0 (0/0/0), correct? 

NAME: "0/PL0/*", DESCR: "Cisco Carrier Routing System SPA Interface Processor Card"

PID: CRS1-SIP-800      , VID: V04

NAME: "0/0/0", DESCR: "2-port OC48/STM16 POS/RPR Shared Port Adapter"

PID: SPA-2XOC48POS/RPR , VID: V02

NAME: "POS0/0/0/0", DESCR: "OC48 SR/STM16 I-16"

PID: SFP-OC48-SR         , VID: V01 , 

NAME: "POS0/0/0/1", DESCR: "OC48 SR/STM16 I-16"

PID: SFP-OC48-SR         , VID: V01 , 

NAME: "0/0/2", DESCR: "2-port OC48/STM16 POS/RPR Shared Port Adapter"

Thank you for all replies

If the power we get is too low, replacement won’t fix it either.

1. Use a power meter to confirm the power level you receive.
2. Find out the power budged for this cable. It should have been provided by your carrier.
3. Verify with the carrier that is their Tx power level

Can i monitor Tx/Rx power via SNMP? if yes, please let me know MIB to me? Thanks

That is not implemented on CRS.

PLA stands for PLIM LINK ASIC. PLASPA used on the SIP card for CRS and it is the interface controller for the PLIM.

In the ingress direction it takes all the traffic coming from the different ports on the PLIM and places them into virtual queues.

In the egress direction it takes all the traffic from the EgressQ ASIC buffers it and then transmits it to the appropriate egress port.
