Electrical Equipment Guidelines

Follow these basic guidelines when working with any electrical equipment:

Before beginning any procedures requiring access to the chassis interior, locate the emergency power-off switch for the room in which you are working.
Disconnect all power and external cables before moving a chassis.
Do not work alone when potentially hazardous conditions exist and never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit; always check.
Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe. Carefully examine your work area for possible hazards such as moist floors, ungrounded power extension cables, and missing safety grounds.

Telephone Wiring Guidelines

Use the following guidelines when working with any equipment that is connected to telephone wiring or to other network cabling:

Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.
Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when electronic cards or components are improperly handled, results in complete or intermittent failures. Port adapters and processor modules comprise printed circuit boards that are fixed in metal carriers. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and connectors are integral components of the carrier. Although the metal carrier helps to protect the board from ESD, use a preventive antistatic strap during handling.

Following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:

Always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact.
Connect the equipment end of the strap to an unfinished chassis surface.
When installing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to properly seat the bus connectors in the backplane or midplane. These devices prevent accidental removal, provide proper grounding for the system, and help to ensure that bus connectors are properly seated.
When removing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to release the bus connectors from the backplane or midplane.
Handle carriers by available handles or edges only; avoid touching the printed circuit boards or connectors.
Place a removed component board-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding container. If you plan to return the component to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding container.
Avoid contact between the printed circuit boards and clothing. The wrist strap only protects components from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.
Never attempt to remove the printed circuit board from the metal carrier.

Caution
For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohm).

What Are the 2CE1 Port Adapters?

The following sections discuss information specific to the 2CE1 port adapter locations, LEDs, and cables:

The 2CE1 port adapters, shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3, provide up to two channelized E1 (unbalanced 75-ohm or balanced 120-ohm) or ISDN PRI interfaces for connecting Cisco 7000 series routers to channel service units (CSUs). Each 2CE1 interface can transmit and receive data bidirectionally at the E1 rate of 2.048 megabits-per-second (Mbps).

Each 2CE1 interface connects to external networks through a single port that has a 15-pin, D-shell receptacle. You must use G.703 serial interface cables to connect unbalanced 75-ohm or balanced 120-ohm 2CE1 interfaces to a CSU. 2CE1 interfaces are configurable for balanced and unbalanced connections by setting jumpers on the 2CE1 printed circuit board. See the ""Configuring 2CE1 Port Adapter Jumpers" section" for balanced and unbalanced 2CE1 jumper settings.

Note While the VIP2 supports online insertion and removal (OIR), individual port adapters do not. To replace port adapters, you must first remove the VIP2 from the chassis, then replace port adapters as required.

The Cisco 7200 series routers support the OIR of all port adapter types.

Figure 2: 2CE1 Port Adapter, Faceplate View (PA-2CE1/PRI-75 Shown)

Figure 3: 2CE1 Port Adapter, Faceplate View (PA-2CE1/PRI-120 Shown)

When running channelized E1, each 2CE1 interface provides up to 31 E1 channel groups, which are numbered from 0 to 30. Each channel group provides up to 31, 64 kilobit-per-second (kbps) timeslots (DS0 channels), which are numbered 1 to 31. Multiple DS0 channels can be mapped to a single channel group. Each channel group is presented to the system as a serial interface that can be configured individually. Usable bandwidth for each channel group is calculated as n x 64 kbps, where n is a number of DS0 channels (1 to 31).

When running ISDN PRI, each 2CE1 interface provides 30 bearer (B) channels that can transmit and receive data at the rate of 64 kbps, full duplex, and one data (D) channel that can transmit and receive data at the rate of 16 kbps, full duplex. The B channels are used for transmitting user data. The D channel is used for call setup control and network connection teardown, and provides the communication from the router to the ISDN switch. The B and D channels are presented to the system as serial interfaces that support High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) and Point-to-Point protocol (PPP) encapsulation. The 2CE1 port adapter supports dial-on-demand routing (DDR) when running ISDN PRI.

Port Adapter Locations on the VIP2 and in Cisco 7200 Series Routers

This section provides information about where you can install the 2CE1 port adapters on the VIP2 and in Cisco 7200 series routers.

Note Port adapters have handles that allow for easy installation and removal; however, they are occasionally not shown in this publication to highlight port adapter faceplate detail.

Figure 4 shows a VIP2-15 or VIP2-40 with two installed port adapters. Figure 5 shows a VIP2-50 with two installed port adapters. With the VIP2 oriented as shown, the left port adapter is in port adapter slot 0, and the right port adapter is in port adapter slot 1.

Figure 4: Two Port Adapters on the VIP2-15 or VIP2-40 (Horizontal Orientation Shown)

Figure 5: Two Port Adapters on a VIP2-50 (Horizontal Orientation Shown)

Note In the Cisco 7000, Cisco 7507, and Cisco 7513 chassis, the VIP2 is installed vertically. In the Cisco 7010 and Cisco 7505 chassis, the VIP2 is installed horizontally.

In Cisco 7200 series routers, port adapter slots are numbered from the lower left to the upper right, beginning with port adapter slot 1 and continuing through port adapter slot 2 for the Cisco 7202, slot 4 for the Cisco 7204 and Cisco 7204VXR, and slot 6 for the Cisco 7206 and Cisco 7206VXR. Port adapter slot 0 is reserved for the optional Fast Ethernet port on the I/O controller---if present.

Note The I/O controller is available with or without a Fast Ethernet port. You can install both I/O controller types in all Cisco 7200 series routers; however, when you install an I/O controller with a Fast Ethernet port in a Cisco 7202, the system software automatically disables the port.

Figure 6 shows a Cisco 7206 with installed port adapters and an I/O controller with a Fast Ethernet port. Not shown are the Cisco 7202, which has two port adapter slots, the Cisco 7204 and Cisco 7204VXR, which have four port adapter slots, and the Cisco 7206VXR, which has six port adapter slots. The 2CE1 port adapters can be installed in any available port adapter slot in Cisco 7200 series routers.

Figure 6: Cisco 7200 Series Port Adapters---Cisco 7206 Shown

2CE1 Port Adapter LEDs

The 2CE1 port adapters have an enabled LED, standard on all port adapters, and three status LEDs for each port. (See Figure 7.)

Figure 7: LEDs on the 2CE1 Port Adapters (Horizontal Orientation Shown)

After system initialization, the enabled LED goes on to indicate that the port adapter has been enabled for operation.

The following conditions must be met before a 2CE1 port adapter is enabled:

The port adapter is correctly connected to the backplane or midplane and receiving power.
A valid system software image for the port adapter has been downloaded successfully.
The system software recognizes the port adapter or 2CE1-equipped VIP2.

If any of the above conditions are not met, or if the initialization fails for other reasons, the enabled LED will not go on.

Table 2 lists port LED status indications.

Port LED	Status
LB (loopback)	This green LED comes on when the port is in loopback mode (line or local). The LED remains off during normal operation of the port adapter.
LA (local alarm)	This green LED comes on when the incoming signal from a remote source has one of the following alarms: loss of frame (LOF), loss of signal (LOS), alarm indication signal (AIS). The LED remains off during normal operation of the port adapter.
RA (remote alarm)	This green LED comes on when the remote source's incoming signal is contains a remote alarm (a yellow alarm). The LED remains off during normal operation of the port adapter.

2CE1 Port Adapter Cables and Pinouts

Three G.703 serial interface cables are available for use with the 2CE1 port adapters; two cables for balanced 120-ohm 2CE1 interface connections, and one cable for an unbalanced 75-ohm 2CE1 interface connection.

Note The 2CE1 port adapters leave the factory configured for balanced 120-ohm or unbalanced 75-ohm connections. Depending on the circumstances, you might need to change the configuration of both 2CE1 port adapter interfaces. See the ""Configuring 2CE1 Port Adapter Jumpers" section for instructions that explain how to change the configuration of both 2CE1 port adapter interfaces.

All three cables have a 15-pin, D-shell (DB-15) connector at the router (VIP2 or Cisco 7200 series) end and either twinaxial, RJ-45, or BNC connectors at the network end. Figure 8, Figure 9, and Figure 10 show the 2CE1 interface cables.

Note Port adapters have a handle attached, but this handle is not shown to allow a full view of detail on each port adapter's faceplate.

Figure 13 shows two 2CE1 port adapters installed in port adapter slots 0 and 1, on a VIP2-50.

Figure 13: VIP2-50 with Two 2CE1 Port Adapters in Port Adapter Slots 0 and 1

Installing or Replacing a Port Adapter on a VIP2

This section provides the standard procedures for installing or replacing a port adapter on the VIP2.

Depending on the circumstances, you might need to install a new port adapter on a VIP2 motherboard or replace a failed port adapter in the field. In either case, you need a number 1 Phillips screwdriver, an antistatic mat onto which you can place the removed interface processor, and an antistatic container into which you can place a failed port adapter for shipment back to the factory.

Caution
To prevent system problems, do not remove port adapters from the VIP2 motherboard, or attempt to install other port adapters on the VIP2 motherboard, while the system is operating. To install or replace port adapters, first remove the VIP2 from its interface processor slot.

Note Each port adapter circuit board is mounted to a metal carrier and is sensitive to ESD damage. Each port adapter has one Phillips-head screw that secures it to its port adapter slot. We strongly recommend that the following procedures be performed by a Cisco-certified service provider; however, this is not a requirement.

While the VIP2 supports online insertion and removal (OIR), individual port adapters do not. To replace port adapters, you must first remove the VIP2 from the chassis, then install or replace port adapters as required. If a blank port adapter is installed on the VIP2 in which you want to install a new port adapter, you must first remove the VIP2 from the chassis, then remove the blank port adapter.

Caution
To prevent interface reconfiguration requirements, you should replace a port adapter with the same type of port adapter you removed, but this is not a requirement.

When only one port adapter is installed on a VIP2, a blank port adapter must fill the empty slot to allow the VIP2 and router chassis to conform to electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions requirements, and so that air flows through the chassis properly. If you plan to install a new port adapter, you must first remove the blank port adapter.

Use the following standard procedure to remove and replace any type of port adapter on a VIP2:

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and an unfinished chassis surface.

Note

Step 2 For a new port adapter installation or a port adapter replacement, disconnect any interface cables from the ports on the front of the port adapter, although, this is not required. You can remove VIP2s with cables attached; however, we do not recommend it.

Step 3 Remove the VIP2 from the system. (Follow the steps in the section "Removing a VIP2" in the configuration note Second-Generation Versatile Interface Processor (VIP2) Installation and Configuration, which shipped with your VIP2.)

Step 4 Place the removed VIP2 on an antistatic mat.

Step 5 Locate the screw at the rear of the port adapter (or blank port adapter) to be replaced. (See Figure 14.) This screw secures the port adapter (or blank port adapter) to its slot.

Figure 14: Location of Port Adapter Screw (Partial Port Adapter View)

Step 6 Remove the screw that secures the port adapter (or blank port adapter).

Step 7 With the screw removed, grasp the handle on the front of the port adapter (or blank port adapter) and carefully pull it out of its slot, away from the edge connector at the rear of the slot. (See Figure 15.)

Figure 15: Pulling a Port Adapter Out of a Slot (Partial Port Adapter View)

Step 8 If you removed a port adapter, place it in an antistatic container for safe storage or shipment back to the factory. If you removed a blank port adapter, no special handling is required; however, store the blank port adapter for potential future use.

Step 9 Remove the new port adapter from its antistatic container and position it at the opening of the slot. (See Figure 15.)

Step 10 Carefully align the port adapter carrier between the upper and lower edges of the port adapter slot, as shown in Figure 15.

Caution
To prevent jamming the carrier between the upper and lower edges of the port adapter slot, and to assure that the edge connector at the rear of the port adapter seats with the connector at the rear of the port adapter slot, make certain that the leading edges of the carrier are between the upper and lower slot edges, as shown in the cutaway in Figure 16.

Figure 16: Aligning a Port Adapter in a Port Adapter Slot

Step 11 Carefully slide the new port adapter into the port adapter slot until the connector on the port adapter is completely seated in the connector on the motherboard.

Figure 17: Port Adapter Installed in a Port Adapter Slot (Partial Port Adapter View)

Step 12 Replace the screw in the rear of the port adapter slot. (See Figure 14 for its location.) Do not overtighten this screw.

Step 13 Reinstall the VIP2 in the system. (Follow the steps in the section "Installing a VIP2" in the configuration note Second-Generation Versatile Interface Processor (VIP2) Installation and Configuration, which shipped with your VIP2.)

Step 14 If disconnected, reconnect the interface cables to the port adapters.

This completes the procedure for installing a new port adapter or replacing a port adapter on a VIP2.

Attaching a 2CE1 Interface Cable

On a single 2CE1 port adapter, you can use up to two G.703 serial connections.

Use the following procedure to connect a 2CE1 interface cable:

Step 1 Attach the cable directly to the receptacle on the 2CE1 port adapter and tighten the strain-relief screws. (See Figure 18.)

Note

Figure 18: Connecting a 2CE1 Interface Cable (2CE1 Port Adapter Front View---Shown without Handle)

Step 2 Attach the network end of the cable to your Primary Rate Interface (PRI) channel service unit (CSU) and tighten the strain-relief screws.

Step 3 Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 for additional cables you want to install.

This completes the procedure for attaching a 2CE1 interface cable.

Configuring 2CE1 Port Adapter Jumpers

Depending on the circumstances, you might need to change the configuration of both 2CE1 port adapter interfaces for balanced 120-ohm connections or unbalanced 75-ohm connections.

Configuring 2CE1 port adapter interfaces for balanced 120-ohm or unbalanced 75-ohm connections requires setting ten jumpers on the 2CE1 printed circuit board and attaching the appropriate interface cable (balanced or unbalanced) to both 2CE1 ports. See the ""2CE1 Port Adapter Cables and Pinouts" section," for 2CE1 interface cable types. The following steps explain how to set 2CE1 jumpers for balanced 120-ohm or unbalanced 75-ohm connections.

Note Both 2CE1 ports must be configured for balanced 120-ohm or unbalanced 75-ohm connections. The 2CE1 port adapters do not support a mixed connection configuration.

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and an unfinished chassis surface.

Step 2 Remove the VIP2 from the chassis. To do so, follow the steps in the section "Removing a VIP2" in the configuration note Second-Generation Versatile Interface Processor (VIP2) Installation and Configuration, which shipped with your VIP2.

Step 3 Remove the installed 2CE1 port adapter from the VIP2. See the earlier section ""Installing or Replacing a Port Adapter on a VIP2" section" for port adapter removal procedures.

Step 4 With the 2CE1 port adapter on an antistatic mat, use a number 1 Phillips screwdriver to remove the three screws that secure the plastic jumper cover to the 2CE1 printed circuit board. (See Figure 19.) Save the screws.

Figure 19: Removing the Jumper Cover (Bottom View of 2CE1 Port Adapter)

Step 5 Set the ten jumpers on the 2CE1 printed circuit board for balanced 120-ohm or unbalanced 75-ohm interface connections.

Jumper locations J2, J3, J5, J8, J9, J11, J12, and J14 have three pins, and jumper locations J4 and J10 have two pins. Each jumper location is configured by placing an insulated jumper over two pins (leaving the third pin of a three-pin jumper location exposed). In balanced 120-ohm configurations, the insulated jumper covers both pins of jumper locations J4 and J10. In unbalanced 75-ohm configurations, the insulated jumper is not present on jumper locations J4 and J10. Table 3 lists the 2CE1 jumper locations and their jumper settings. Figure 20 and Figure 21 show balanced 120-ohm and unbalanced 75-ohm 2CE1 jumper configurations, respectively.

Step 6 Replace the plastic jumper cover over the 2CE1 jumpers and secure it to the port adapter's printed circuit board using a number 1 Phillips screwdriver and the screws that you saved in Step 4.

Step 7 Replace the 2CE1 port adapter in the VIP2. See the "Installing or Replacing a Port Adapter on a VIP2" section for port adapter replacement procedures.

Step 8 Replace the VIP2 in the chassis. To do so, follow the steps in the section "Installing a VIP2" in the configuration note Second-Generation Versatile Interface Processor (VIP2) Installation and Configuration, which shipped with your VIP2.

This completes the procedure for configuring 2CE1 port adapter jumpers.

Use the show controllers cbus command to identify the E1 cable type (balanced or unbalanced) attached to the 2CE1. Following is an example of the show controllers cbus command that shows an E1 interface port (3/1/0) with an unbalanced cable attached:

Router# show controllers cbus

	rxlo 4, rxhi 99, rxcurr 0, maxrxcurr 0
[display text omitted]

Using the EXEC Command Interpreter

You modify the configuration of your router through the software command interpreter called the EXEC. You must enter the privileged level of the EXEC command interpreter with the enable command before you can use the configure command to configure a new interface or to change the existing configuration of an interface. The system prompts you for a password if one has been set.

The system prompt for the privileged level ends with a pound sign (#) instead of an angle bracket (>). At the console terminal, use the following procedure to enter the privileged level:

Step 1 At the user-level EXEC prompt, enter the enable command. The EXEC prompts you for privileged-level passwords:

Router> enable

Password:

Step 2 Enter the password (the password is case sensitive). For security purposes, the password is not displayed.

When you enter the correct password, the system displays the privileged-level system prompt (#):

Router#

Proceed to the following section to configure the new interfaces.

Configuring 2CE1 Interfaces

If you installed a new 2CE1-equipped VIP2 or if you want to change the configuration of an existing interface, you must use the privileged-level configure command. If you replaced a 2CE1 port adapter that was previously configured, the system will recognize the new 2CE1 port adapter interfaces and bring each of them up in their existing configuration.

After you verify that the new 2CE1 port adapter is installed correctly (the enabled LED goes on), use the configure command to configure the new interfaces. Be prepared with the information you will need, such as the following:

ISDN switch type, when configuring ISDN PRI (Table 4 lists ISDN service provider
switch types)
E1 information, for example, line code, framing type, and so on
Channel group and PRI group information and timeslot mapping
Protocols and encapsulations you plan to use on the new interfaces
Protocol specific information, such as internet protocol (IP) addresses, if you plan to configure the interfaces for IP routing
Whether the new interface will use bridging

Note Configuration commands are executed from the privileged level of the EXEC command interpreter, which usually requires password access. See "Using the EXEC Command Interpreter" and contact your system administrator, if necessary, to obtain access.

Selecting Chassis Slot, Port Adapter, and Port Adapter Port Numbers

This section describes how to identify chassis slot, port adapter, and 2CE1 port adapter interface numbers.

Note Although the processor slots in the 7-slot Cisco 7000, Cisco 7507, and 13-slot Cisco 7513 are vertically oriented and those in the 5-slot Cisco 7010 and Cisco 7505 are horizontally oriented, all models use the same method for slot and port numbering.

In the router, physical port addresses specify the actual physical location of each interface port on the port adapter end. (See Figure 22.) This address is composed of a three-part number in the format chassis slot number/port adapter number/interface port number.

The first number identifies the chassis slot in which the VIP2 is installed (as shown in the sample system in Figure 22).
The second number identifies the physical port adapter number on the VIP2, and is either 0 or 1.
The third number identifies the interface ports on each 2CE1 port adapter, which are always numbered in sequence as interface 0 through 1.

Interface ports on 2CE1 port adapters maintain the same address regardless of whether other interface processors are installed or removed. However, when you move a VIP2 to a different slot, the first number in the address changes to reflect the new slot number.

Figure 22 shows some of the port adapter slots and interface ports of a sample Cisco 7505 system. For example, on the 2CE1-equipped VIP2 in chassis slot 3, the addresses for the interface ports are 3/1/0 through 3/1/1 (chassis slot 3, port adapter slot 1, and interface ports 0 through 1). If the port adapter was in port adapter slot 0, these same interface ports would be numbered 3/0/0 through 3/0/1.

The first port adapter slot number is always 0; the second port adapter slot number is always 1. The individual interface port numbers always begin with 0. The number of additional ports depends on the number of ports on a port adapter. Port adapters can occupy either port adapter slot; there are no restrictions.

Note If you remove the 2CE1-equipped VIP2 (shown in Figure 22) from chassis slot 3 and install it in chassis slot 2, the addresses of those same ports become 2/1/0 through 2/1/1.

Figure 22: 2CE1 Interface Port Number Example (Cisco 7505 Shown)

You can identify interface ports by physically checking the slot/port-adapter/interface port location on the back of the router or by using show commands to display information about a specific interface or all interfaces in the router.

Shutting Down an Interface

Before you replace an interface cable, replace port adapters, or remove an interface that you will not replace, use the shutdown command to shut down (disable) the interfaces. Doing so prevents anomalies from occurring when you reinstall the new or reconfigured VIP2. You can shut down all 30 interfaces of a controller by specifying the controller before issuing the shutdown command. You can shut down individual interfaces of a controller by specifying the channel group or PRI group assigned to each controller (channel groups and PRI groups are treated as serial interfaces by the system). When you shut down an interface, it is designated administratively down in the show command displays.

Follow these steps to shut down an interface:

Step 1 Enter the privileged level of the EXEC command interpreter. (See the ""Using the EXEC Command Interpreter" section" for instructions.)

Step 2 At the privileged-level prompt, enter configuration mode and specify that the console terminal will be the source of the configuration commands as follows:

Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#

Step 3 Specify the slot/port address of the controller that you want shut down by entering the command controller, followed by the type (e1) and chassis slot number/port adapter number/interface port number. The example that follows is for a 2CE1 in chassis slot 3:

Router(config)# controller e1 3/1/0

Step 4 Enter the shutdown command as follows:

Router(config-cont)# shutdown

Step 5 To shut down existing individual controller interfaces, enter the slot/port:channel-group or pri-group address of each interface followed by the shutdown command. When you have entered all the interfaces to be shut down, press Ctrl-Z (hold down the Control key while you press Z) or enter end to exit configuration mode and return to the EXEC command interpreter prompt as follows:

Router(config)# interface serial 3/1/0:0
Router(config-if)# shutdown
Ctrl-Z
Router#

Step 6 Write the new configuration to memory as follows:

Router# copy running-config startup-config
[OK]
Router#

The system displays an OK message when the configuration has been stored.

Step 7 To verify that new interfaces are now in the correct state (shutdown), use the show interfaces serial chassis slot number/port adapter number/interface port number:channel-group or pri-group command to display the specific interface, or use the show controller command, followed by the type (e1) and chassis slot number/port adapter number/interface port number, to display the status of all interfaces of the controller.

Router# show interfaces serial 3/1/0:0
 
Serial3/1/0:0 is down, line protocol is down
  Hardware is cxBus E1
[display text omitted]

Step 8 To reenable the interfaces, repeat the above steps, but use the no shutdown command in Step 4; then write the new configuration to memory as follows:

Router(config)# interfaces serial 3/1/0:0
Router(config-if)# no shutdown
Ctrl-Z
Router#
 
Router# copy running-config startup-config
[OK]
Router# show interfaces serial 3/1/0:0
 
Serial3/1/0:0 is up, line protocol is up
  Hardware is cxBus E1
[display text omitted]

For complete descriptions of software configuration commands, refer to the publications listed in the section ""Related Documentation" section".

Configuring Channelized E1 Interfaces

Following are instructions for a basic channelized E1 configuration: enabling a controller and specifying IP routing. You might also need to enter other configuration commands depending on the requirements for your system configuration and the protocols you plan to route on the interface. For complete descriptions of configuration commands and the configuration options available, refer to the publications listed in the section "Related Documentation" on page 2.

The channel groups must be mapped before the 2CE1 controller can be configured. Following are controller commands used to map the channel group (the default variable is listed first):

controller e1 chassis slot number/port adapter number/interface port number
linecode [ami | hdb3]
framing [crc4 | no -crc4]
loopback
shutdown
channel-group number timeslots list [speed {48 | 56 | 64}]

: number is the channel group 0 to 30.
: timeslots is a number between 1 to 31. You can enter timeslots individually and separate them by commas or enter them as a range separated by a hyphen (for example, 1-3, 8, 9-18). Timeslot 0 is an illegal configuration.
: speed specifies the DS0 speed of the channel group; 64 kbps is the default.

Note Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series routers identify channel groups as serial interfaces by chassis slot number, port adapter (0 or 1), interface port number (0 or 1), and channel-group number (0 to 30). For example, the address of the 2CE1 installed in chassis slot 4, port adapter slot 1, interface port 1, and channel group 5 would be serial 4/1/1:5.

In the following procedure, press the Return key after each configuration step:

Step 1 At the privileged-level prompt, enter configuration mode and specify that the console terminal will be the source of the configuration commands as follows:

Router# configure terminal
 
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#

Step 2 At the prompt, specify the controller to configure by entering the command controller, followed by e1, and chassis slot number/port adapter number/interface port number. The following example is for the 2CE1 in chassis slot 3, port adapter slot 1, interface port 1.

Router(config)# controller e1 3/1/1

Step 3 Specify the controller's framing type by entering the framing command:

Router(config-controller)# framing crc4

Step 4 Specify the controller's linecode format by entering the linecode command:

Router(config-controller)# linecode hdb3

Step 5 Specify a channel group and map timeslots to the channel group by entering the channel-group command. The following example specifies channel group 0 and maps timeslots 1, 3 through 5, and 7 to channel group 0:

Router(config-controller)# channel-group 0 timeslots 1,3-5,7 
Router(config-controller)#
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Serial3/1/1:0,
changed state to down
%LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface Serial3/1/1:0, changed state to up

Note

Step 6 If IP routing is enabled on the system, assign an IP address and subnet mask to the channel group with the interface and ip address commands as follows:

Router(config-controller)# interface serial 3/1/1:0 
Router(config-if)# ip address 10.1.15.1 255.255.255.0 
Router(config-if)#

Step 7 Add any additional configuration commands required to enable routing protocols and adjust the interface characteristics.

Step 8 Use the no shutdown and exit commands respectively to reenable the interface and return to configuration mode as follows:

Router(config-if)# no shutdown
Router(config-if)# exit
Router(config)#
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Serial3/1/1:0,
changed state to up
%LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface Serial3/1/1:0, changed state to up

Step 9 Repeat Step 5 through Step 8 for additional channel groups and timeslots.

Step 10 After configuring additional channel groups and timeslots, map all unused timeslots to an unused channel group and shut down the unused channel group by entering the channel-group and shutdown commands, respectively.

In the following example, unused timeslots 2, 6, and 8 through 31 are mapped to unused channel group 1, and channel group 1 is shut down:

Router(config)# controller e1 3/1/1
Router(config-controller)# channel-group 1 timeslots 2,6,8-31 
Router(config-controller)#
Router(config-controller)# int serial 3/1/1:1
Router(config-if)# shutdown
Router(config-if)# exit
Router(config)#
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Serial3/1/1:1,
changed state to down
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Interface Serial3/1/1:1, changed state to
administratively down

Step 11 After including all of the configuration commands, to complete the configuration, press Ctrl-Z (hold down the Control key while you press Z) or enter end to exit configuration mode and return to the EXEC command interpreter prompt as follows:

Router(config)#
Ctrl-Z
Router#

Step 12 Write the new configuration to memory as follows:

Router# copy running-config startup-config
[OK]
Router#

The system displays an OK message when the configuration is stored.

Step 13 Exit the privileged level and return to the user level by entering disable at the prompt as follows:

Router# disable
 
Router>

This completes the procedure for creating a basic channelized E1 configuration. Proceed to the section "Checking the Configuration" to check the interface configuration using show commands. For additional information about configuring channelized E1 interfaces, refer to the publications Wide-Area Networking Configuration Guide and Wide-Area Networking Command Reference.

Configuring Channelized E1 ISDN PRI Interfaces

Following are instructions for a basic channelized E1 ISDN PRI configuration: enabling a controller and specifying IP routing. You might also need to enter other configuration commands depending on the requirements for your system configuration and the protocols you plan to route on the interface. For complete descriptions of configuration commands and the configuration options available, refer to the publications listed in the section ""Related Documentation" section".

The PRI group must be mapped before the 2CE1 controller can be configured (there is only one PRI group for each controller). The following are controller commands used to map the PRI group:

isdn switch-type switch-type
controller e1 chassis slot number/port adapter number/interface port number
linecode hdb3
framing crc4
loopback
shutdown
pri-group [timeslots list]

: pri-group timeslots is a number between 1 to 31. (Timeslots 1 to 15 and 17 to 31 represent the B channels, and timeslot 16 represents the D channel. While the numbering scheme for entering timeslots is 1 to 31, the system recognizes the numbering of timeslots as 0 to 30. The PRI group is configured by using timeslot 16 [the D channel], which is recognized by the system as timeslot 15.) You can enter timeslots individually and separate them by commas or enter them as a range separated by a hyphen (for example, 1-3, 8, 9-18). The default DS0 speed of the PRI group is 64 kbps.

Note If you do not specify the timeslots, the controller is configured for 30 B channels (timeslots 1 to 15 and 17 to 31) and one D channel (timeslot 16).

Note Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series routers identify the PRI group as a serial interface by chassis slot number, port adapter slot (0 or 1), interface port number (0 or 1), and timeslot 16. For example, the address of the 2CE1 installed in chassis slot 3, port adapter slot 1, interface port 1, and timeslot 16 would be recognized by the system as serial 3/1/1:15.

In the following procedure, press the Return key after each configuration step:

Step 1 At the privileged-level prompt, enter configuration mode and specify that the console terminal will be the source of the configuration commands as follows:

Router# configure t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Router(config)#

Step 2 Identify the ISDN switch type. In the following example, the switch primary-net5 (a switch for the European Community) is identified as the switch type:

Router(config)# isdn switch-type primary-net5

Note

Step 3 Specify the controller to configure by entering the command controller followed by e1, and chassis slot number/port adapter number/interface port number. The example that follows is for the 2CE1 in chassis slot 3, port adapter slot 1, interface port 1:

Router(config)# controller e1 3/1/1

Step 4 Specify the controller's framing type by entering the framing command as follows:

Router(config-controller)# framing crc4

Step 5 Specify the controller's linecode format by entering the linecode command as follows:

Router(config-controller)# linecode hdb3

Step 6 Map timeslots to the controller's PRI group by entering the pri-group command. The following example shows PRI-group timeslots 1, 3 through 5, and 7 (the B channels) selected and mapped to timeslot 16 (the D channel), which is recognized by the system as timeslot 15:

Router(config-controller)# pri-group timeslots 1,3-5,7 
Router(config-controller)#
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Serial3/1/1:15,
changed state to down
%LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface Serial3/1/1:15, changed state to up

Note

Step 7 If IP routing is enabled on the system, assign an IP address and subnet mask to the PRI group with the interface and ip address commands as follows.

Note

Router(config-controller)# interface serial 3/1/1:15
Router(config-if)# ip address 10.1.15.1 255.255.255.0 
Router(config-if)#

Step 8 Add any additional configuration commands required to enable routing protocols and adjust the interface characteristics.

Step 9 Use the no shutdown and exit commands respectively to reenable the interface and return to configuration mode as follows:

Router(config-if)# no shutdown
Router(config-if)# exit
Router(config)#
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Serial3/1/1:15,
changed state to up
%LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface Serial3/1/1:15, changed state to up

Step 10 After configuring the PRI group and timeslots, map all unused timeslots to an unused channel group and shut down the unused channel group by entering the channel-group and shutdown commands, respectively.

Note

In the following example, unused timeslots 2, 6, 8 through 15, and 17 through 31 are mapped to unused channel group 2, and channel group 2 is shut down:

Router(config)# controller e1 3/1/1
Router(config-controller)# channel-group 2 timeslots 2,6,8-15,17-31 
Router(config-controller)#
Router(config-controller)# interface serial 3/1/1:2
Router(config-if)# shutdown
Router(config-if)# exit
Router(config)#
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Serial3/1/1:2,
changed state to down
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Interface Serial3/1/1:2, changed state to
administratively down

Router(config)#
Ctrl-Z
Router#

Step 12 Write the new configuration to memory as follows:

Router# copy running-config startup-config
[OK]
Router#

The system displays an OK message when the configuration is stored.

Step 13 Exit the privileged level and return to the user level by entering disable at the prompt as follows:

Router# disable
 
Router>

This completes the procedure for creating a basic channelized E1 ISDN PRI configuration. Proceed to the next section "Checking the Configuration" to check the interface configuration using show commands. For dialer interface configuration and additional channelized E1 ISDN PRI interface configuration information, refer to the publications Wide-Area Networking Configuration Guide and Wide-Area Networking Command Reference.

Checking the Configuration

After configuring the new interface, use the show commands to display the status of the new interface or all interfaces, and use the ping and loopback commands to check connectivity.

Using show Commands to Verify the VIP2 Status

The following steps use show commands to verify that the new interfaces are configured and operating correctly:

Step 1 Display the system hardware configuration with the show version command. Ensure that the list includes the new serial interfaces.

Step 2 Display all the current interface processors and their interfaces with the show controllers cbus command. Verify that the new VIP2 appears in the correct slot.

Step 3 Specify one of the new E1 interfaces with the show interfaces type slot/port adapter/interface:channel-group or pri-group command and verify that the first line of the display specifies the interface with the correct slot number. Also verify that the interface and line protocol are in the correct state: up or down.

Step 4 Display the protocols configured for the entire system and specific interfaces with the show protocols command. If necessary, return to configuration mode to add or remove protocol routing on the system or specific interfaces.

Step 5 Display the running configuration file with the show running-config command. Display the configuration stored in NVRAM using the show startup-config command. Verify that the configuration is accurate for the system and each interface.

If the interface is down and you configured it as up, or if the displays indicate that the hardware is not functioning properly, ensure that the network interface is properly connected and terminated. If you still have problems bringing up the interface, contact a customer service representative for assistance.

To display information about a specific interface, use the show interfaces command with the interface type, port adapter, interface, and channel group or PRI group address in the format show interfaces [type slot/port adapter/interface:channel-group or pri-group].

The following example of the show interfaces serial slot/port adapter/port:channel-group command shows all of the information specific to the second 2CE1 interface port (interface port 1) in chassis slot 3, port adapter slot 1, channel group 2:

Router# show interface serial 3/1/1:2
Serial3/1/1:2 is up, line protocol is up
  Hardware is cxBus E1
  Internet address is 10.1.15.1
  MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1536 Kbit, DLY 20000 usec, rely 255/255, load 1/255

The following example of the show interfaces serial slot/port adapter/port:pri-group command shows all of the information specific to the same interface port (interface port 1 in chassis slot 3, port adapter slot 1) when the port is configured for ISDN PRI:

Router# show interfaces serial 3/1/1:15
Serial3/1/1:15 is up, line protocol is up (spoofing)

Use the show controllers cbus [type slot/port adapter/interface] command to display the internal status of each installed interface processor and VIP2, including slot locations, hardware versions, and the currently running microcode versions. The show controllers cbus command also lists each interface (port), including logical interface numbers, interface types, physical (slot/port) addresses, and hardware (station address) of each interface, and cable types attached to each interface.

The following example shows a 2CE1 port adapter installed in chassis slot 3:

Router# show controllers cbus

Using the ping and loopback Commands

The packet internet groper (ping) and loopback commands allow you to verify that an interface port is functioning properly and to check the path between a specific port and connected devices at various locations on the network after the system has booted successfully and is operational. This section provides brief descriptions of these commands. Refer to the publications listed in the "Related Documentation" section for detailed command descriptions and examples.

The ping command sends echo request packets out to a remote device at an IP address that you specify. After sending an echo request, the command waits a specified time for the remote device to reply. Each echo reply is displayed as an exclamation point (!) on the console terminal; each request that is not returned before the specified timeout is displayed as a period (.). A series of exclamation points (!!!!!) indicates a good connection; a series of periods (.....) or the messages [timed out] or [failed] indicate that the connection failed.

Following is an example of a successful ping command to a remote server with the address 10.1.1.10:

Router# ping 10.1.1.10 <Return>
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echoes to 10.1.1.10, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/15/64 ms
Router#

If the connection fails, verify that you have the correct IP address for the destination and that the device is active (powered on), and repeat the ping command.

The loopback test allows you to detect and isolate equipment malfunctions by testing the connection between the 2CE1 port adapter interface and a remote device such as a modem or a CSU. The loopback command places an interface in loopback mode, which enables test packets that are generated from the ping command to loop through a remote device or interface cable. If the packets complete the loop, the connection is good. If not, you can isolate a fault to the remote device or interface cable in the path of the loopback test.

Note The 2CE1 supports only the controller loopback test.

When no interface cable is attached to a 2CE1 port adapter interface, issuing the loopback controller command tests the path between the VIP2 and the interface port only (without leaving the VIP2 and port adapter).

Cisco 7200 Series and 2CE1 Port Adapters

The 2CE1 port adapters are used in the Cisco 7200 series routers and can be installed in any of the available port adapter slots. Figure 23 shows a 2CE1 port adapter installed in port adapter slot 1 of a Cisco 7206.

Figure 23: Cisco 7206 with a 2CE1 Port Adapter in Port Adapter Slot 1

The following sections include information that is specific to 2CE1 port adapters and their use in the Cisco 7200 series routers:

Installing or Replacing a Port Adapter in Cisco 7200 Series Routers

Depending on your circumstances, you might need to install a new port adapter in a Cisco 7200 series router or replace a failed port adapter in the field. In either case, no tools are necessary; all port adapters available for the Cisco 7200 series connect directly to the router midplane and are locked into position by a port adapter lever. When removing and replacing a port adapter, you will need an antistatic mat onto which you can place a removed port adapter and an antistatic container into which you can place a failed port adapter for shipment back to the factory.

Note Cisco 7200 series routers support OIR; therefore, you do not have to power down Cisco 7200 series routers when removing and replacing a 2CE1 port adapter.

When a port adapter slot is not in use, a blank port adapter must fill the empty slot to allow the router to conform to EMI emissions requirements and to allow proper air flow across the port adapters. If you plan to install a new port adapter in a slot that is not in use, you must first remove a blank port adapter.

Removing a Port Adapter

Use the following procedure to remove a port adapter from a Cisco 7200 series router:

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventative wrist strap between you and an unfinished chassis surface.

Step 2 Place the port adapter lever for the desired port adapter slot in the unlocked position. The port adapter lever remains in the unlocked position. (See Figure 24.)

Figure 24: Placing the Port Adapter Lever in the Unlocked Position (Cisco 7206 Shown)

Step 3 Grasp the handle on the port adapter and pull the port adapter from the midplane, about halfway out of its slot. If you are removing a blank port adapter, pull the blank port adapter completely out of the chassis slot.

Note

Step 4 With the port adapter halfway out of the slot, disconnect all cables from the port adapter.

Step 5 After disconnecting the cables, pull the port adapter from its chassis slot.

Caution
Always handle the port adapter by the carrier edges and handle; never touch the port adapter's components or connector pins. (See Figure 25.)

Figure 25: Handling a Port Adapter

Step 6 Place the port adapter on an antistatic surface with its components facing upward, or in a static shielding bag. If the port adapter will be returned to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding bag.

This completes the procedure for removing a port adapter from a Cisco 7200 series router.

Replacing a Port Adapter

Use the following procedure to install a new port adapter in a Cisco 7200 series router:

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventative wrist strap between you and an unfinished chassis surface.

Step 2 Use both hands to grasp the port adapter by its metal carrier edges and position the port adapter so that its components are downward. (See Figure 25).

Step 3 Align the left and right edge of the port adapter metal carrier between the guides in the port adapter slot. (See Figure 26.)

Figure 26: Aligning the Port Adapter Metal Carrier Between the Slot Guides
(Cisco 7206 Shown)

Step 4 With the metal carrier aligned in the slot guides, gently slide the port adapter halfway into the slot.

Caution
Do not slide the port adapter all the way into the slot until you have connected all required cables. Trying to do so will disrupt normal operation of the router.

Step 5 With the port adapter halfway in the slot, connect all required cables to the port adapter.

Step 6 After connecting all required cables, carefully slide the port adapter all the way into the slot until you feel the port adapter's make contact with the midplane.

Step 7 After feeling the connectors make contact, move the port adapter lever to the locked position. Figure 27 shows the port adapter lever in the locked position.

Note

Figure 27: Placing the Port Adapter Lever in the Locked Position---Cisco 7206 Shown

This completes the procedure for installing a new port adapter in a Cisco 7200 series router.

Attaching a 2CE1 Interface Cable

On a single 2CE1 port adapter, you can use up to two G.703 serial connections.

Connect a 2CE1 interface cable as follows:

Step 1 Attach the cable directly to the receptacle on the 2CE1 port adapter and tighten the strain-relief screws. (See Figure 28.)

Note

Figure 28: Connecting a 2CE1 Interface Cable (2CE1 Port Adapter Front View---Shown Without Handle)

Step 2 Attach the network end of the cable to your Primary Rate Interface (PRI) channel service unit (CSU) and tighten the strain-relief screws.

This completes the procedure for attaching a 2CE1 interface cable.

Configuring 2CE1 Port Adapter Jumpers

Depending on the circumstances, you might need to change the configuration of both 2CE1 port adapter interfaces for balanced 120-ohm connections or unbalanced 75-ohm connections.

Configuring 2CE1 port adapter interfaces for balanced 120-ohm or unbalanced 75-ohm connections requires setting ten jumpers on the 2CE1 printed circuit board and attaching the appropriate interface cable (balanced or unbalanced) to both 2CE1 ports. See the "2CE1 Port Adapter Cables and Pinouts" section," for 2CE1 interface cable types.

The following steps explain how to set 2CE1 jumpers for balanced 120-ohm or unbalanced 75-ohm connections.

Both 2CE1 ports must be configured for balanced 120-ohm or unbalanced 75-ohm connections. The 2CE1 port adapters do not support a mixed connection configuration.

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and an unfinished chassis surface.

Step 2 Remove the installed 2CE1 port adapter from the chassis. See the "Installing or Replacing a Port Adapter in Cisco 7200 Series Routers" for port adapter removal procedures.

Step 3 With the 2CE1 port adapter on an antistatic mat, use a number 1 Phillips screwdriver to remove the three screws that secure the plastic jumper cover to the 2CE1 printed circuit board. (See Figure 29.) Save the screws.

Figure 29: Removing the Jumper Cover (Bottom View of 2CE1 Port Adapter)

Step 4 Set the ten jumpers on the 2CE1 printed circuit board for balanced 120-ohm or unbalanced 75-ohm interface connections.

Jumper locations J2, J3, J5, J8, J9, J11, J12, and J14 have three pins, and jumper locations J4 and J10 have two pins. Each jumper location is configured by placing an insulated jumper over two pins (leaving the third pin of a three-pin jumper location exposed). In balanced 120-ohm configurations, the insulated jumper covers both pins of jumper locations J4 and J10. In unbalanced 75-ohm configurations, the insulated jumper is not present on jumper locations J4 and J10. Table 5 lists the 2CE1 jumper locations and their settings. Figure 30 and Figure 31 show balanced 120-ohm and unbalanced 75-ohm 2CE1 jumper configurations, respectively.

Step 5 Replace the plastic jumper cover over the 2CE1 jumpers and secure it to the port adapter's printed circuit board using a number 1 Phillips screwdriver and the screws you saved in Step 3.

Step 6 Replace the 2CE1 port adapter in the chassis. See the "Installing or Replacing a Port Adapter in Cisco 7200 Series Routers" section for port adapter replacement procedures.

This completes the procedure for configuring 2CE1 port adapter jumpers. Use the show controllers e1 [port adapter slot number/interface port number] command to identify the E1 cable type (balanced or unbalanced) attached to the 2CE1. Following is an example of the show controllers e1 command that shows an E1 interface port (1/0) with an unbalanced cable attached:

Router# show controllers e1 1/0

[display text omitted]

Using the EXEC Command Interpreter

You can modify the configuration of your router through the software command interpreter called the EXEC. You must enter the privileged level of the EXEC command interpreter with the enable command before you can use the configure command to configure a new interface or to change the existing configuration of an interface. The system will prompt you for a password if one has been set.

The system prompt for the privileged level ends with a pound sign (#) instead of an angle bracket (>). At the console terminal, enter the privileged level as follows:

Step 1 At the user-level EXEC prompt, enter the enable command. The EXEC prompts you for a privileged-level password, as follows:

Router> enable

Password:

Step 2 Enter the password (the password is case sensitive). For security purposes, the password is not displayed.

When you enter the correct password, the system displays the privileged-mode system prompt (#) as follows:

Router#

Proceed to the following section to configure the new interfaces.

Configuring 2CE1 Interfaces

If you installed a new 2CE1 port adapter or if you want to change the configuration of an existing interface, you must use the privileged-level configure command. If you replaced a 2CE1 port adapter that was previously configured, the system will recognize the new 2CE1 port adapter interfaces and bring each of them up in their existing configuration.

ISDN switch type, when configuring ISDN PRI (Table 6 lists ISDN service provider
switch types)
E1 information, for example, line code, and framing type, and so on
Channel group and PRI group information and timeslot mapping
Protocols and encapsulations you plan to use on the new interfaces
Protocol specific information, such as IP addresses if you plan to configure the interfaces for IP routing
Whether the new interface will use bridging

Note Configuration commands are executed from the privileged level of the EXEC command interpreter, which usually requires password access. See the previous section "Using the EXEC Command Interpreter" and contact your system administrator, if necessary, to obtain access.

Selecting Port Adapter Slot and Serial Interface Port Numbers

This section describes how to identify port adapter slot and 2CE1 port adapter interface numbers.

Physical port addresses specify the actual physical location of each interface port on the router. (See Figure 32.) This address is composed of a two-part number in the format port adapter slot number/interface port number, as follows:

The first number identifies the chassis slot in which the 2CE1 port adapter is installed.
The second number identifies the interface ports on each 2CE1 port adapter, which are always numbered in sequence as interface 0 and 1.

Interface ports on 2CE1 port adapters maintain the same address regardless of whether other port adapters are installed or removed. However, when you move a port adapter to a different slot, the first number in the address changes to reflect the new slot number.

Figure 32 shows the interface ports of a 2CE1 port adapter in slot 1 of a Cisco 7206 router. The individual interface port numbers always begin with 0. The number of additional ports depends on the number of ports on a port adapter. Port adapters can occupy any port adapter slot. There are no restrictions.

For example, the addresses of the interface ports on the 2CE1 port adapter in chassis slot 1 are 1/0 and 1/1 (chassis slot 1 and interface ports 0 and 1). If the 2CE1 port adapter was in port adapter slot 4, these same interface ports would be numbered 4/0 and 4/1.

Figure 32: 2CE1 Interface Port Number Example

You can identify interface ports by physically checking the port adapter slot/interface port location on the front of the router or by using software commands to display information about a specific interface or all interfaces in the router.

Before you replace an interface cable, replace port adapters, or remove an interface that you will not replace, use the shutdown command to shut down (disable) the interfaces to prevent anomalies when you reinstall the new or reconfigured port adapters. You can shut down all 30 interfaces of a controller by specifying the controller before issuing the shutdown command.You can shut down individual interfaces of a controller by specifying the channel group or PRI group assigned to each controller (channel groups and PRI groups are treated as serial interfaces by the system). When you shut down an interface, it is designated administratively down in the show command displays.

Follow these steps to shut down an interface:

Step 1 Enter the privileged level of the EXEC command interpreter. (See the "Using the EXEC Command Interpreter" section for instructions.)

Step 2 At the privileged-level prompt, enter configuration mode and specify that the console terminal will be the source of the configuration commands as follows:

Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#

Step 3 Specify the slot/port address of the controller that you want shut down by entering the command controller, followed by the type (e1) and port adapter slot number/interface port number. The example that follows is for a 2CE1 in chassis slot 1:

Router(config)# controller e1 1/0

Step 4 Enter the shutdown command as follows:

Router(config-cont)# shutdown

Step 5 To shut down existing individual controller interfaces, enter the slot/port:channel-group or pri-group address of each interface followed by the shutdown command. When you have entered all the interfaces to be shut down, press Ctrl-Z (hold down the Control key while you press Z) to exit configuration mode and return to the EXEC command interpreter prompt as follows:

Router(config)# interfaces serial 1/0:0
Router(config-if)# shutdown
Ctrl-Z
Router#

Step 6 Write the new configuration to memory as follows:

Router# copy running-config startup-config
[OK]
Router#

The system displays an OK message when the configuration has been stored.

Step 7 To verify that new interfaces are now in the correct state (shutdown), use the show interfaces serial port adapter slot number/interface port number:channel-group or pri-group command to display the specific interface, or use the show controllers command, followed by the type (e1) and port adapter slot number/interface port number, to display the status of all interfaces of the controller.

Router# show interfaces serial 1/0:0
 
Serial1/0:0 is down, line protocol is down
  Hardware is MPA-E1
[display text omitted]

Step 8 To reenable the interfaces, repeat the above steps, but use the no shutdown command in Step 4; then write the new configuration to memory as follows:

Router(config)# interfaces serial 1/0:0
Router(config-if)# no shutdown
Ctrl-Z
Router#
 
Router# copy running-config startup-config
[OK]
Router# show interfaces serial 1/0:0
 
Serial1/0:0 is up, line protocol is up
  Hardware is MPA-E1
[display text omitted]

For complete descriptions of software configuration commands, refer to the publications listed in the section "Related Documentation" section.

Configuring Channelized E1 Interfaces

The channel groups must be mapped before the 2CE1 controller can be configured. The following are controller commands used to map the channel group (the default variable is listed first):

controller e1 chassis slot number/interface port number
linecode [ami | hdb3]
framing [crc4 | no -crc4]
loopback
shutdown
channel-group number timeslots list [speed {48 | 56 | 64}]

: number is the channel group 0 to 30.
: timeslots list is a number between 1 to 31. You can enter timeslots individually and separate them by commas or enter them as a range separated by a hyphen (for example, 1-3, 8, 9-18). Timeslot 0 is an illegal configuration.
: speed specifies the DS0 speed of the channel group; 64 kbps is the default.

Note Cisco 7200 series routers identify channel groups as serial interfaces by port adapter slot number, port adapter (0 or 1), interface port number (0 or 1), and channel-group number (0 to 30). For example, the address of the 2CE1 installed in port adapter slot 1, interface port 1, and channel group 5 would be serial 1/1:5.

In the following procedure, press the Return key after each configuration step.

Step 1 At the privileged-mode prompt, enter configuration mode and specify that the console terminal will be the source of the configuration commands as follows:

Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Router(config)#

Step 2 At the prompt, specify the controller to configure by entering the command controller, followed by e1, and port adapter slot number/interface port number. The example that follows is for the 2CE1 in port adapter slot 1, interface port 1:

Router(config)# controller e1 1/1

Step 3 Specify the controller's framing type by entering the framing command as follows:

Router(config-controller)# framing crc4

Step 4 Specify the controller's linecode format by entering the linecode command as follows:

Router(config-controller)# linecode hdb3

Router(config-controller)# channel-group 0 timeslots 1,3-5,7 
Router(config-controller)#
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Serial1/1:0,
changed state to down
%LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface Serial1/1:0, changed state to up

Note

Step 6 If IP routing is enabled on the system, assign an IP address and subnet mask to the channel group with the interface and ip address commands as follows:

Router(config-controller)# interfaces serial 1/1:0 
Router(config-if)# ip address 10.1.15.1 255.255.255.0 
Router(config-if)#

Step 7 Add any additional configuration commands required to enable routing protocols and adjust the interface characteristics.

Step 8 Use the no shutdown and exit commands respectively to reenable the interface and return to configuration mode as follows:

Router(config-if)# no shutdown
Router(config-if)# exit
Router(config)#
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Serial1/1:0,
changed state to up
%LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface Serial1/1:0, changed state to up

Step 9 Repeat Step 5 through Step 8 for additional channel groups and timeslots.

In the following example, unused timeslots 2, 6, and 8 through 31 are mapped to unused channel group 1, and channel group 1 is shut down:

Router(config)# controller e1 1/1
Router(config-controller)# channel-group 1 timeslots 2,6,8-31 
Router(config-controller)#
Router(config-controller)# interfaces serial 1/1:1
Router(config-if)# shutdown
Router(config-if)# exit
Router(config)#
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Serial1/1:1,
changed state to down
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Interface Serial1/1:1, changed state to
administratively down

Router(config)#
Ctrl-Z
Router#

Step 12 Write the new configuration to memory as follows:

Router# copy running-config startup-config
[OK]
Router#

The system displays an OK message when the configuration is stored.

Step 13 Exit the privileged level and return to the user level by entering disable at the prompt as follows:

Router# disable
 
Router>

This completes the procedure for creating a basic channelized E1 configuration. Proceed to the "Checking the Configuration" section" to check the interface configuration using show commands. For additional information about configuring channelized E1 interfaces, refer to the publications Wide-Area Networking Configuration Guide and Wide-Area Networking Command Reference.

Configuring Channelized E1 ISDN PRI Interfaces

The PRI group must be mapped before the 2CE1 controller can be configured (there is only one PRI group for each controller). The following are controller commands used to map the PRI group:

isdn switch-type switch-type
controller e1 chassis slot number/interface port number
linecode hdb3
framing crc4
loopback
shutdown
pri-group [timeslots list]

: pri-group timeslots is a number between 1 to 31. (Timeslots 1 to 15 and 17 to 31 represent the B channels, and timeslot 16 represents the D channel. While the numbering scheme for entering timeslots is 1 to 31, the system recognizes the numbering of timeslots as 0 to 30. The PRI group is configured by using timeslot 16 [the D channel], which is recognized by the system as timeslot 15.) You can enter timeslots individually and separate them by commas or enter them as a range separated by a hyphen (for example, 1-3, 8, 9-18). The default DS0 speed of the PRI group is 64 kbps.

Note If you do not specify the timeslots, the controller is configured for 30 B channels (timeslots1 to 15 and 17 to 31) and one D channel (timeslot 16).

Note Cisco 7200 series routers identify the PRI group as a serial interface by port adapter slot number, port adapter (0 or 1), interface port number (0 or 1), and timeslot 16. For example, the address of the 2CE1 installed in port adapter slot 1, interface port 1, and timeslot 16 would be recognized by the system as serial 1/1:15.

In the following procedure, press the Return key after each configuration step.

Step 1 At the privileged-mode prompt, enter configuration mode and specify that the console terminal will be the source of the configuration commands as follows:

Router# configure t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Router(config)#

Step 2 Identify the ISDN switch type. In the following example, the switch primary-net5 (a switch for the European Community) is identified as the switch type:

Router(config)# isdn switch-type primary-net5

Note

Step 3 Specify the controller to configure by entering the command controller, followed by e1, and port adapter slot number/interface port number. The example that follows is for the 2CE1 in port adapter slot 1, interface port 1:

Router(config)# controller e1 1/1

Step 4 Specify the controller's framing type by entering the framing command as follows:

Router(config-controller)# framing crc4

Step 5 Specify the controller's linecode format by entering the linecode command as follows:

Router(config-controller)# linecode hdb3

Step 6 Map timeslots to the controller's PRI group by entering the pri-group command. The following example shows PRI-group timeslots 1, 3 through 5, and 7 (the B channels) selected for mapped to timeslot 16 (the D channel), which is recognized by the system as timeslot 15.

Router(config-controller)# pri-group 0 timeslots 1,3-5,7 
Router(config-controller)#
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Serial1/1:15,
changed state to down
%LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface Serial1/1:15, changed state to up

Note

Step 7 If IP routing is enabled on the system, assign an IP address and subnet mask to the PRI group with the interface and ip address commands as follows.

Note

Router(config-controller)# interface serial 1/1:15
Router(config-if)# ip address 10.1.15.1 255.255.255.0 
Router(config-if)#

Step 8 Add any additional configuration commands required to enable routing protocols and adjust the interface characteristics.

Step 9 Use the no shutdown and exit commands respectively to reenable the interface and return to configuration mode as follows:

Router(config-if)# no shutdown
Router(config-if)# exit
Router(config)#
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Serial1/1:15,
changed state to up
%LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface Serial1/1:15, changed state to up

Note

In the following example, unused timeslots 2, 6, 8 through 15, and 17 through 31 are mapped to unused channel group 2, and channel group 2 is shut down:

Router(config)# controller e1 1/1
Router(config-controller)# channel-group 2 timeslots 2,6,8-15,17-31 
Router(config-controller)#
Router(config-controller)# interface serial 1/1:2
Router(config-if)# shutdown
Router(config-if)# exit
Router(config)#
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Serial1/1:2,
changed state to down
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Interface Serial1/1:2, changed state to
administratively down

Router(config)#
Ctrl-Z
Router#

Step 12 Write the new configuration to memory as follows:

Router# copy running-config startup-config
[OK]
Router#

The system displays an OK message when the configuration is stored.

Step 13 Exit the privileged level and return to the user level by entering disable at the prompt as follows:

Router# disable
 
Router>

Checking the Configuration

After configuring the new interface, use the show commands to display the status of the new interface or all interfaces, and use the ping and loopback commands to check connectivity.

Using show Commands to Verify the New Interface Status

The following steps use show commands to verify that the new interfaces are configured and operating correctly:

Step 1 Display the system hardware configuration with the show version command. Ensure that the list includes the new serial interfaces.

Step 2 Display all the current interface processors and their interfaces with the show controllers command.

Step 3 Specify one of the new E1 interfaces with the show interfaces type port adapter slot/interface port number:channel-group or pri-group command and verify that the first line of the display specifies the interface with the correct slot number. Also verify that the interface and line protocol are in the correct state: up or down.

To display information about a specific interface, use the show interfaces command with the interface type, port adapter slot, interface port, and channel group or PRI group address in the format show interfaces [type port adapter slot/interface port:channel-group or pri-group].

The following example of the show interfaces serial port adapter slot number/interface port number:channel-group command shows all of the information specific to the second 2CE1 interface port (interface port 1) in port adapter slot 1, channel group 0:

Router# show interfaces serial 1/1:0

The following example of the show interfaces serial port adapter slot number/interface port number:pri-group command shows all of the information specific to the same interface (interface port 1 in port adapter slot 1) when the interface is configured for ISDN PRI:

Router# show interfaces serial 1/1:15

Use the show controllers e1 [port adapter slot number/interface port number] command to identify the E1 cable type (balanced or unbalanced) attached to a 2CE1 port adapter that is configured for channelized E1. Following is an example of the show controllers e1 command that shows a channelized E1 interface port (1/0) with an unbalanced cable attached:

Router# show controllers e1 1/0
E1 1/0 is up.
  Applique type is Channelized E1 - unbalanced
	No far end block errors detected
  No alarms detected.
  Framing is CRC4, Line Code is HDB3, Clock Source is Line.
  Data in current interval (710 seconds elapsed):
     0 Line Code Violations, 0 Path Code Violations
     0 Slip Secs, 0 Fr Loss Secs, 0 Line Err Secs, 0 Degraded Mins
     0 Errored Secs, 0 Bursty Err Secs, 0 Severely Err Secs, 0 Unavail Secs
  Data in Interval 1:

     0 Errored Secs, 0 Bursty Err Secs, 0 Severely Err Secs, 0 Unavail Secs
[display text omitted]

Following is an example of the show controllers e1 command that shows an E1 interface port (1/0) that is configured for ISDN PRI:

Router# show controllers e1 1/0
E1 1/0 is up.
  No alarms detected.
	No far end block errors detected
  Framing is CRC4, Line Code is HDB3, Clock Source is Line.
  Data in current interval (710 seconds elapsed):
     0 Line Code Violations, 0 Path Code Violations
     0 Slip Secs, 0 Fr Loss Secs, 0 Line Err Secs, 0 Degraded Mins
     0 Errored Secs, 0 Bursty Err Secs, 0 Severely Err Secs, 0 Unavail Secs

     0 Errored Secs, 0 Bursty Err Secs, 0 Severely Err Secs, 0 Unavail Secs
[display text omitted]

To display all the ISDN interfaces installed in the router and the ISDN switch type for the interfaces, use the show isdn status command. The following example is for an 2CE1 port adapter in port adapter slot 1, with the ISDN switch type primary-net5:

Router# show isdn status
The current ISDN Switchtype = primary-net5
ISDN Serial1/0:15 interface
    Layer 1 Status:
        ACTIVE
    Layer 2 Status:
        TEI = 0, State = MULTIPLE_FRAME_ESTABLISHED

Using the ping and loopback Commands

Following is an example of a successful ping command to a remote server with the address 10.1.1.10:

Router# ping 1.1.1.10 <Return>
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echoes to 10.1.1.10, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/15/64 ms
Router#

If the connection fails, verify that you have the correct IP address for the destination and that the device is active (powered on), and repeat the ping command.

The loopback test allows you to detect and isolate equipment malfunctions by testing the connection between a 2CE1 port adapter interface and a remote device such as a modem or a CSU. The loopback command places an interface in loopback mode, which enables test packets that are generated from the ping command to loop through a remote device or interface cable. If the packets complete the loop, the connection is good. If not, you can isolate a fault to the remote device or interface cable in the path of the loopback test.

Note The 2CE1 supports only the controller loopback test.

When no interface cable is attached to a 2CE1 port adapter interface, issuing the loopback controller command tests the path between the network processing engine and the interface port only (without leaving the network processing engine and port adapter).

For complete descriptions of interface commands and the configuration options available for Cisco 7200 series-related interfaces, refer to the publications listed in the section "Related Documentation" on page 2.
