test interface e1-bert-start

Syntax

test interface e1-bert-start interface-name

Release Information

Command introduced before Junos OS Release 7.4.

Description

Start a bit error rate test (BERT) on an E1 interface.

Options

interface-name

Interface name: e1-fpc/pic/port or ce1-fpc/pic/port <:channel>

Additional Information

Before starting a BERT, you must disable the interface. To do this, include the disable statement at the [edit interfaces interface-name] hierarchy level. You can run a BERT on only one interface per PIC at a time.

Note: Due to hardware limitations of the framer used in IQ PICs, BERT is not supported in unframed mode on the interface and may return false positive results. BERT in unframed mode is supported on Enhanced IQ (IQE) PICs.
