Step 2: Verify Interfaces
 |
NOTE: Before you proceed with this step, check the physical layer to ensure that the problem is not in the physical layer. |
Purpose
From your network topology, determine the adjacent interfaces through which the LSP is meant to traverse, and examine the output for the encapsulation type, PPP options, FCS size, and whether keepalive frames are enabled or disabled.
Action
To verify the functioning of adjacent interfaces, enter the following commands from the relevant routers:
user@host>show interfacestype-fpc/pic/portextensive
user@host>show interfacestype-fpc/pic/port
Sample Output 1

What It Means
Sample Output 1 from egress router R6 shows that there are no SONET alarms or defects (none), the states are all OK, and the path trace shows the distant end (R3 so-0.0.0), indicating that the physical link is up. However, the logical link is down, and the link-level type is Cisco HDLC.
Sample Output 2 from transit router R3 shows that the link-level type is PPP, indicating that the encapsulation types are mismatched, resulting in the LSP going down.
