Release Information
Statement introduced before JUNOS Release 7.4.
Description
Configure the bit error rate to use in a BERT procedure. Applies to E1, E3, T1, or T3 interfaces, and to the channelized interfaces (DS3, OC3, OC12, STM1).
![]() |
Note: When configuring CE1 interfaces on the 10-port Channelized E1/T1 IQE PIC, bert-error-rate must be set at the [edit interface ce1-fpc/pic/port] hierarchy level. When configuring CT1 interfaces on the 10-port Channelized E1/T1 IQE PIC, bert-error-rate must be set at the [edit interface ct1-fpc/pic/port] hierarchy level. |
Options
-
rate—Bit error rate.
- Range: 0 through 7, which corresponds to 10–1 (1 error per bit) to 10 –7 (1 error per 10 million bits)
- Default: 0
