Monitoring SONET/SDH Interfaces

You can monitor interface statistics and APS/MSP settings.

Note: The E120 router and E320 router output for monitor and show commands is identical to output from other E-series routers, except that the E120 and E320 router output also includes information about the adapter identifier in the interface specifier (slot/adapter/port).

Monitoring Interface Statistics

You can set statistics baselines for the section, line, and path layers using the baseline interface sonet commands.

To display statistics for SONET and SDH interfaces, use the show controllers sonet commands. Use the delta options to display statistics with the baseline subtracted.

baseline line interface sonet

Use to set a statistics baseline for the SONET/SDH line layer.
The router implements the baseline by reading and storing the MIB statistics at the time the baseline is set and then subtracting this baseline whenever baseline-relative statistics are retrieved.
Use the total [ delta ] keywords with the show controllers sonet line command to view the baseline statistics.
Example 1—Sets a baseline for SONET line layer interfaces on ERX-14xx models, ERX-7xx models, or the ERX-310 routerhost1#baseline line interface sonet 2/0
Example 2—Sets a baseline for SONET line layer interfaces on the E320 routerhost1#baseline line interface sonet 3/0/0
There is no no version.
See baseline line interface sonet.

baseline path interface sonet

Use to set a statistics baseline for the SONET/SDH path layer.
The router implements the baseline by reading and storing the MIB statistics at the time the baseline is set and then subtracting this baseline whenever baseline-relative statistics are retrieved.
Use the total [ delta ] keywords with the show controllers sonet path command to view the baseline statistics.
Example 1—Sets a baseline for SONET path layer interfaces on ERX-14xx models, ERX-7xx models, or the ERX-310 routerhost1#baseline path interface sonet 2/0
Example 2—Sets a baseline for SONET path layer interfaces on the E320 routerhost1#baseline path interface sonet 3/0/0
There is no no version.
See baseline path interface sonet.

baseline section interface sonet

Use to set a statistics baseline for the SONET/SDH section layer.
The router implements the baseline by reading and storing the MIB statistics at the time the baseline is set and then subtracting this baseline whenever baseline-relative statistics are retrieved.
Use the total [ delta ] keywords with the show controllers sonet section commands to view the baseline statistics.
Example 1—Sets a baseline for SONET section layer interfaces on ERX-14xx models, ERX-7xx models, or the ERX-310 routerhost1#baseline section interface sonet 2/0
Example 2—Sets a baseline for SONET section layer interfaces on the E320 routerhost1#baseline section interface sonet 3/0/0

Monitoring APS/MSP

You can use the show aps commands to monitor APS/MSP.

show aps

Use to display information about interfaces on which APS/MSP is configured.
Use the all keyword to display information from all APS/MSP groups. In the output, partially configured controllers are displayed with none and include only the group name.
Field descriptions
- sonet x/y—Location of the SONET/SDH interface
- protect group—Name of the APS group that contains the working interface and the corresponding protect interface
- channel—Number of the APS channel; 0 identifies the protect interface, 1 identifies the working interface
- ~—Interface is not currently active
- Selected—Interface is active
- ~Selected—Interface is not active
- Bidirectional—Router switches to the protect interface using the bidirectional switching mechanism
- Unidirectional—Router switches to the protect interface using the unidirectional mode switching mechanism
- Nonrevertive—Router does not revert to the working interface when it recovers
- Revertive—Router reverts to the working interface when it recovers
- Disabled—APS/MSP is disabled on the interface
- Enabled—APS/MSP is enabled on the interface

Example 1

host1#show aps
sonet 5/1 protect group one channel 0  ~Selected Unidirectional Nonrevertive
sonet 5/0 working group one channel 1   Selected Enabled

Example 2

host1#show aps all
aps events: disabled
sonet 4/0 working group group-4 channel 1   Selected Enabled 
sonet 4/1 protect group group-4 channel 0  ~Selected Unidirectional Nonrevertive 
sonet 2/0 working group group-2 channel 1   Selected Enabled 
sonet 2/1 protect group group-2 channel 0  ~Selected Unidirectional Nonrevertive 
sonet 12/0
sonet 12/1
sonet 12/2 none    group partial-group
sonet 12/3
sonet 12/4
sonet 12/5
sonet 12/6
sonet 12/7

See show aps.

show aps group

Use to display information about all APS/MSP groups or a specified APS/MSP group.
Field descriptions
- Aps group—Name of the APS group for which information is displayed
- Current Conditions—Current state of the group
- Rx (K1/K2)—Value, meaning, and channel number of the received K1 and K2 bytes (see Table 8 and Table 9)
- Tx (K1/K2)—Value, meaning, and channel number of the transmitted K1 and K2 bytes (see Table 8 and Table 9)
- Counters—Statistics for APS group
  - ModeMismatch—Number of differences detected in the local and remote switching mechanisms (unidirectional or bidirectional modes)
  - ChanMismatch—Number of differences detected between the number of the channel in the transmitted K1 byte and the number of the channel in the received K2 byte
  - PSBF—Number of protection switching byte failures detected (no 3 consecutive SONET/SDH frames out of the last 12 contain identical K1 bytes)
  - FEPLF—Number of far-end protection line failures (signal failures detected on protect interface)
- Aps channel—Number, interface specifier (in slot/port format), and protect/working designation of the APS channel for which information is displayed
  - aps-protect—Identifies the protect interface
  - aps-working—Identifies the working interface
- Current Conditions—Current state of the interface for this channel
  - lockedOut—Indicates that the router is configured to prevent the protect interface from taking over if the primary interface fails
  - SD—Indicates that signal degradation is detected
  - SF—Indicates that signal failure is detected
  - switched—Indicates that the router has switched from the working interface to the protect interface
- Counters—Statistics for APS channel
  - SignalDegrades—Number of degraded signals detected
  - SignalFailures—Number of failed signals detected
  - Switchovers—Number of times the router has switched from the working interface to the protect interface
  - LastSwitchover—Length of time that the working interface was active when the router last switched from the working interface to the protect interface; a value of Not Applicable indicates that no switchovers have occurred
