Monitor Channelized OC12 IQ Interfaces
Purpose
By monitoring Channelized OC12 intelligent queuing (IQ) interfaces, you begin the process of isolating Channelized OC12 IQ interface problems when they occur.
To monitor your Channelized OC12 IQ interface, follow these steps:
- Display the Status of a Channelized OC12 IQ Interface
- Display the Status of the Controller Channelized OC12 IQ Interface
- Display the Status of a Specific Channel of a Channelized OC12 IQ Interface
- Display Extensive Status Information for a Channelized OC12 IQ Interface
- Monitor Statistics for a Channelized OC12 IQ Interface
Display the Status of a Channelized OC12 IQ Interface
Purpose
To display the status of Channelized OC12 IQ interfaces, use one or all of the following Junos OS CLI operational mode commands:

Meaning
The sample output shows the status of both the physical and logical interfaces. In this example, all of the channelized OC12 IQ interfaces are up.
Sample output 1 shows the channelized interfaces that are configured, but not the channels for those channelized interfaces.
Sample output 2 shows the channels for the channelized interfaces that are configured and the hierarchy, but not the interface address information. At the top, the hierarchy includes the controller interface coc12-0/0/0.
Sample output 3 shows all channelized interfaces and their configured channels and the address information.
When only one or some individual channels are down, you must troubleshoot the channel by checking the configuration, transmission network, and equipment. If all of the physical layers for the channels are down, you must work with this as a T1, T3, DS0, or OC12 SONET link or PIC problem. For more information on monitoring these types of interfaces, see the respective sections in this guide.
The interface configuration of the OC12 IQ interface used for all show commands in this section is shown in Figure 22.
Figure 22: Sample Configuration of Channelized OC12 IQ Interface

In addition, the configuration is shown in the following output:
The above configuration shows the OC12 IQ interface configured into eight channels or slices as shown in Figure 22. A summary of the channels follows:
- Channels 1 through 3 are for SONET interfaces
- Channel 4 is for T1 interfaces
- Channel 5 is for T3 interfaces
- Channel 6 is for DS0 interfaces
- Channels 7 is for T1 interfaces
- Channel 8 is for DS0 interfaces
Display the Status of the Controller Channelized OC12 IQ Interface
Purpose
To display the status of the controller OC12 IQ interface, use one or all of the following Junos OS CLI operational mode commands, depending on the level of channelization:
Action

Meaning
The first line of the output shows the status of the link. If this line shows that the physical link is up, the physical link is healthy and can pass packets. If this line shows that the physical link is down, the physical link is unhealthy and cannot pass packets.
The controller interface is partitioned into other interface types and appears at the top of a specific level of channelization. For a visual representation of the controller interface at different levels of channelization, see Figure 23.
Figure 23: Controller Interfaces at Different Levels of Channelization

Each of the four examples of controller output is for a different level of channelization.
Sample output 1 for interface coc12-0/0/0 shows Parent: None, which indicates the top-most level of channelization.
Sample output 2 for interface coc1-0/0/0:2 shows Parent: coc12-0/0/0,which indicates that this interface is one level down from the top-most level, and is the OC1 controller for a first level of channelization.
Sample output 3 for interface ct3-0/0/0:5 shows Parent: coc1-0/0/0:5, which indicates that this interface is at the second level of channelization, and is a CT3 controller.
Sample output 4 for interface ct1-0/0/0:4:1 shows Parent: coc1-0/0/0:4:1,which indicates that this interface is at the third level of channelization, and is a CT1 controller.

Meaning
The first line of the output shows the status of the link. If this line shows that the physical link is up, the physical link is healthy and can pass packets. If this line shows that the physical link is down, the physical link is unhealthy and cannot pass packets. All four examples of output show the link is up and can pass packets.
Sample output 1 shows an OC3 SONET interface. Sample output 2 shows a T1 interface that is the result of a partitioned OC1 interface, and sample output 3 shows a DS0 interface that is the result of an OC1 interface partitioned into a T1 interface, which is further partitioned into the DS0 interface.
Figure 24 shows a visual representation of the different channel levels.
Figure 24: Specific Channels of a Channelized OC12 IQ Interface

When only one or some individual channels are down, you must troubleshoot the channel by checking the configuration, transmission network, and equipment. If all of the physical layers for the channels are down, you must work with this as a T1, T3, DS0, or OC12 SONET link or PIC problem. For more information on monitoring these types of interfaces, see the respective sections in this guide.
