OC12 POS Statistics Counters
Configuring an Interface for Internal Loopback
The default loopback setting is for no loopback. With internal (or local) loopback, packets from the
router are looped back in the framer. Outgoing data gets looped back to the receiver without actually
being transmitted. Internal loopback is useful for checking that the OC12 POS line card is working.
To configure an interface for internal loopback, enter the loop internal command:
Router(config)# interface pos 3/0
Router(config-if)# loop internal
To disable internal loopback, enter the no loop internal command.
Configuring an Interface for Line Loopback
The default loopback setting is for no loopback. With line loopback, the receive (RX) fiber is logically
connected to the transmit (TX) optical fiber cable so that packets from the remote router are looped back
to it. Incoming data gets looped around and retransmitted without actually being received. To configure
an interface for line loopback, enter the loop line command:
Router(config)# interface pos 3/0
Router(config-if)# loop line
To disable line loopback, enter the no loop line command.
OC12 POS Statistics Counters
The OC12 POS line card maintains counts of certain errors. Each error counter is 32 bits. Errors include
the following:
• CRC errors—Packet corrupted in reception
• Giants received—Packet length too large (greater than MTU size)
• Runts—Packet length too small (less than or equal to 4 bytes)
• Ignores—No receive buffers available; receive buffers full
OC12 POS Line Card Error Messages
The only error messages you should see are of the following type and format:
%POS-1-INITFAIL: POS4/0 initialization failed
%POS-1-HWFAIL: POS OC12(4) Hardware failure. Primary DDLL not set. Deactivating line card.
%POS-3-FPGAREVNOTSUPPORTED:POS OC12(4) Line card requires fpga revision of (2).Current
fpga revision is (0)
%POS-3-FPGAREVNOTMATCH:POS OC12(4) Line card fpga requires min h/w revision of (0.0)
%POS-1-TRESFAIL:POS OC12(4/0) Failed to obtain PXF resources, error=16, shutting down
interface
%POS-1-HWFAIL:POS OC12(4) Hardware failure. Secondary DLL not set.
