Configuring the E1 Frame Checksum
By default, the E1 interface supports a 16-bit checksum. You can configure a 32-bit checksum, which provides more reliable packet verification. However, some older equipment might not support 32-bit checksums.
To configure a 32-bit checksum, include the fcs 32 statement at the [edit interfaces interface-name e1-options] hierarchy level:
- [edit interfaces interface-name e1-options]
- fcs 32;
To return to the default 16-bit frame checksum, delete the fcs 32 statement from the configuration:
To explicitly configure a 16-bit checksum, include the fcs 16 statement at the [edit interfaces interface-name e1-options] hierarchy level:
- [edit interfaces interface-name e1-options]
- fcs 16;
