Monitor Multichannel DS3 Interfaces
Channelized interfaces enable you to configure a number of individual channels that subdivide the bandwidth of a larger interface and minimize the number of Physical Interface Cards (PICs) that an installation requires. By monitoring channelized DS3 to DS0 interfaces or channelized DS3 to DS1 interfaces, you can begin to isolate Multichannel DS3 problems when they occur.
To monitor Multichannel DS3 interfaces, follow these steps:
- Display the Status of Channelized Interfaces
- Display the Status of a Specific Channelized Interface
- Display Extensive Status Information for a Specific T3 Interface
- Monitor Statistics for a Channelized Interface
Display the Status of Channelized Interfaces
Purpose
To display the status of channelized DS3 to DS0 interfaces or channelized DS3 to DS1 interfaces, use one of the following Junos OS command-line interface (CLI) operational mode commands:
Action
Sample Output
The following sample output is for a channelized DS3 to DS0 interface:
user@host> show interfaces terse ds* Interface Admin Link Proto Local Remote ds-2/1/0:5:1 up up ds-2/1/0:5:1.0 up up inet 192.168.140.197/30
The following sample output is for a channelized DS3 to DS1 interface:
user@host> show interfaces terse t1* [...Output truncated...] t1-2/1/0:16 up down t1-2/1/0:16.0 up down inet 192.168.118.61/30 t1-2/1/0:17 up up t1-2/1/0:17.0 up up inet 192.168.118.49/30 t1-2/1/0:18 up up t1-2/1/0:18.0 up up inet 192.168.36.21/30 t1-2/1/0:19 up up t1-2/1/0:19.0 up up inet 192.168.118.97/30
Meaning
The sample output shows the status of both the physical and logical interfaces. In both sample outputs, all links are up except for the first interface in the T1 sample output. The first interface, t1-2/1/0:16, has both the physical and logical links down.
Display the Status of a Specific Channelized Interface
Purpose
To display the status of a specific channelized DS3 to DS0 interface or channelized DS3 to DS1 interface, use one of the following CLI operational mode commands:

Meaning
This command checks for and displays common interface failures, indicates whether loopback is detected, and shows increases in framing errors. Use information from this command to help narrow down possible causes of an interface problem.
 | Note: If you are accessing the router from the console connection, make sure you set the CLI terminal type using the set cli terminal command. |
Table 2 lists additional problem situations and actions to help you further understand an interface problem.
Table 2: Problem Situations and Actions
Problem Situation | Action |
|---|---|
Framing errors are increasing. | Check the frame checksum sequence (FCS), scrambling, and subrate configuration. |
Framing errors are increasing, and the configuration is correct. | Check the cabling to the router and have the carrier verify the integrity of the line. |
Input errors are increasing. | Check the cabling to the router and have the carrier verify the integrity of the line. |
| Note: We recommend that you use this command only for diagnostic purposes. Do not leave it on during normal router operations because real-time monitoring of traffic consumes additional CPU and memory resources. |
