Display T1 Alarms and Errors

Purpose

To display T1 alarms and errors, use the following Junos OS command-line interface (CLI) operational mode command:

Action

user@host> show interfaces t1-fpc/pic/port extensive

Meaning

The sample output shows active alarms and active defects. When a major error (such as an alarm indication signal [AIS]) is seen for a few consecutive frames, a defect is declared within 1 second from detection. At the defect level, the interface is taken down and routing protocols are immediately notified (this is the default). In most cases, when a defect persists for 2.5 seconds plus or minus 0.5 seconds, an alarm is declared.

Notification messages are logged at the alarm level. Depending on the type of T1 alarm, you can configure the craft panel to display the red or yellow alarm LED and simultaneously have the alarm relay activate a physically connected device (such as a bell).

Table 1 lists the T1 media-specific alarms or defects that can render the interface unable to pass packets.
