Step 2: Verify That the Interface Is Up

Purpose

Display the status of a DS-1 or DS-3 interface to determine whether the physical link is up or down.

Action

To verify that the status of the Multichannel DS-3 interface is up, use one of the following JUNOS command-line interface (CLI) operational mode commands:

user@host> show interfaces (ds-fpc/pic/port:channel:channel | 
t1-fpc/pic/port:channel )

Sample Output

The following sample output is for a channelized DS-3 to DS-0 interface:

user@host> show interfaces ds-2/1/0:5:1              

Physical interface: ds-2/1/0:5:1, Enabled, Physical link is Up

  Interface index: 36, SNMP ifIndex: 133

        Destination: 192.168.140.196/30, Local: 192.168.140.197

The following sample output is for a channelized DS-3 to DS-1interface:

user@host> show interfaces t1-2/1/0:19

Physical interface: t1-2/1/0:19, Enabled, Physical link is Up

  Interface index: 50, SNMP ifIndex: 59

  Description: Customer

  Link-level type: Cisco-HDLC, MTU: 1504, Clocking: Internal, Speed: T1, 
Loopback: None, FCS: 16,

  Device flags   : Present Running

  Interface flags: Point-To-Point SNMP-Traps

  Link flags     : Keepalives

  Keepalive settings: Interval 10 seconds, Up-count 1, Down-count 3

  Keepalive: Input: 11 (00:00:06 ago), Output: 13 (00:00:04 ago)

  Input rate     : 741512 bps (224 pps)

  Output rate    : 1266528 bps (224 pps)

  DS1   alarms   : None

  DS3   alarms   : None

  DS1   defects  : None

  DS3   defects  : None

  Logical interface t1-2/1/0:19.0 (Index 27) (SNMP ifIndex 125) 

    Flags: Point-To-Point SNMP-Traps Encapsulation: Cisco-HDLC

    Protocol inet, MTU: 1500, Flags: None

      Addresses, Flags: Is-Preferred Is-Primary

        Destination: 192.168.140.196/30, Local: 192.168.140.197

What It Means

The sample output shows that the physical link is up and there are no DS-1 or DS-3 alarms or defects. You should not see any DS-1or DS-3 alarms. You can check any interface on the Multichannel DS-3 port.
