The selected clock will be marked with an asterisk. Example: ASR901# show network-clocks synchronization Symbols: En - Enable, Dis - Disable, Adis - Admin Disable NA - Not Applicable * - Synchronization source selected # - Synchronization source force selected & - Synchronization source manually switched Automatic selection process : Enable Equipment Clock : 2048 (EEC-Option1) Clock Mode : QL-Disable ESMC : Disabled SSM Option : 1 T0 : Internal Hold-off (global) : 300 ms Wait-to-restore (global) : 300 sec Tsm Delay : 180 ms Revertive : No Nominated Interfaces Interface *Internal Step 10 SigType NA Mode/QL NA/Dis Prio 251 QL_IN ESMC Tx QL-SEC NA ESMC Rx NA Configure the router to use the controller T1 0/4 as the network clock. Example: ASR901# config t Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. ASR901(config)# network-clock input-source 2 controller T1 0/4 %NETCLK-6-SEL_CLOCK_SRC: Synchronization source T1 0/4 is selected by selection process(T0) to synchronize the system and generate T0 output. %NETCLK-6-SRC_ADD: Synchronization source T1 0/4 is added to T0 selection process. Step 11 Once again use the show network-clocks synchronization command. This will initiate a change of the selected clock to T1 0/4. It may take up to 5 minutes or so for the clock to synchronize to the T1 0/4 interface. In the meantime the clock will stay synchronized to the internal clock while the T1 0/4 interface will read as QL-FAILED. Activity Verification You have completed this task once you have verified that controller T1 0/4 and 0/5 are up and controller T1 0/4 is selected as the network clock.

Activity Procedure Complete these steps: Step 1 Open a terminal session into your asr-x (where x is your pod number) router and enter enable mode if you have not already done so. Step 2 Configure controller T1 0/4 and 0/5 for channel-group 0 and timeslots 1-24. Example: config t controller T1 0/4 channel-group 0 timeslots 1-24 ! controller T1 0/5 channel-group 0 timeslots 1-24 end _____________________________ Note _________________________ Assuming your T1 ports are physically cabled correctly, you should immediately see link UP/DOWN messages on newly created serial ports 0/4:0 and 0/5:0. _________________________________________________________________ Step 3 Configure a multilink PPP interface to be used as a backhaul interface. Example: config t interface Multilinkxx description Dual T1s towards LEC ip address xx.0.0.0 255.255.255.254 ppp multilink ppp multilink group xx Step 4 Configure interface serial 0/4 and 0/5 for multilink PPP and place them into multilink group xx.

Lab 5–2 A901E v1.0 - 41 1.0 A901E Lab Guide High-Touch Delivery Learning Services Task 1: Configuring TDM Local Switching Task 1: Configuring TDM Local Switching The purpose of this task is to configure TDM local switching on the Cisco ASR 901 router. Activity Procedure Complete these steps: Step 1 Open a terminal session into your asr-x (where x is your pod number) router and enter enable mode if you have not already done so. Step 2 Specify a series of timeslots on controller T1 0/0 and 0/8 to be part of circuit emulation (CEM) groups 6 and 5 respectively. Example: config t controller cem-group ! controller cem-group end T1 0/0 6 timeslots 1-4,9-10 T1 0/8 5 timeslots 1-4,9-10 _____________________________ Note _________________________ As soon as you specify a circuit emulation group, the router creates an CEM interface corresponding to the T1 controller. For example, T1 controller 0/0 will form CEM 0/0 and T1 controller will form CEM 0/8. _________________________________________________________________ Step 3 Configure TDM local switching between the two circuit emulation groups. Remember that you must specify the CEM interface and cemgroup as part of the connect statement. Example: config t connect ConnPort_0_to_8 CEM0/0 6 CEM0/8 5 end Step 4 Use the show connection command to verify proper configuration of TDM local switching. Make a note of the connection ID. Example: ASR901# show connection ID Name Segment 1 Segment 2 State =================================================================== 1 ConnPort_0_to_8 CE0/0 CESP 6 CE0/8 CESP 5 OPER DOWN © 2012 Cisco Systems, Inc. 1.0 Lab 5–3 Lab 5: Configuring TDM Local Switching and Performing Loopback Testing High-Touch Delivery Learning Services _____________________________ Note _________________________ Even though in the above example the T1 ports are down, the TDM local switching has been correctly configured. _________________________________________________________________ Step 5 Use the show connection id command with the ID number obtained in the previous step to see additional information about TDM local switching. Example: ASR901# show connection id 1 Connection: 1 - ConnPort_0_to_8 Current State: OPER DOWN Segment 1: CEM0/0 CESoPSN Basic 6 down Segment 2: CEM0/8 CESoPSN Basic 5 down Activity Verification You have completed this task when you have successfully configured TDM local switching. Lab 5–4 1.0 A901E Lab Guide High-Touch Delivery Learning Services Task 2: Performing Loopback Testing Task 2: Performing Loopback Testing The purpose of this task is to perform a loopback test on a T1 port on the Cisco ASR 901 router. Activity Procedure Complete these steps: Step 1 Open a terminal session into your asr-x (where x is your pod number) router and enter enable mode if you have not already done so. Step 2 Use the show controller t1 0/4 command to confirm that T1 0/4 is up and no loopbacks are present on the line. Example: ASR901# show controller t1 0/4 T1 0/4 is up. Applique type is Channelized T1 Cablelength is long gain36 0db No alarms detected. alarm-trigger is not set Soaking time: 3, Clearance time: 10 AIS State:Clear LOS State:Clear LOF State:Clear ---output omitted--- _____________________________ Note _________________________ If the line is currently in loopback, there will be a loopback status directly to the right of where it shows that T1 0/4 is up. _________________________________________________________________ Step 3 Use the show interface serial 0/4:0 command to confirm that the serial interface is also up/up. Example: ASR901# show interface serial 0/4:0 Serial0/4:0 is up, line protocol is up Hardware is TDM E1T1 IM Description: T1 bundle towards LEC MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1536 Kbit/sec, DLY 20000 usec, reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255 Encapsulation PPP, LCP Open, multilink Open -output omitted--- Step 4 Configure a local line loopback test on controller T1 0/4. Example: config t controller t1 0/4 loopback local line end © 2012 Cisco Systems, Inc. 1.0 Lab 5–5 Lab 5: Configuring TDM Local Switching and Performing Loopback Testing High-Touch Delivery Learning Services _____________________________ Note _________________________ A few seconds after you enable the loopback on the T1, the line protocol on interface serial 0/4:0 will change to state down. This is to be expected during a loopback test. Be careful if you do this on a production network. _________________________________________________________________ Step 5 Once again use the show controller t1 0/4 command. This time you are confirming the presence of a loopback test on the line. Example: ASR901# show controller t1 0/4 T1 0/4 is up. (Local Line Loopback) Applique type is Channelized T1 Cablelength is long gain36 0db No alarms detected. alarm-trigger is not set Soaking time: 3, Clearance time: 10 AIS State:Clear LOS State:Clear LOF State:Clear ---output omitted--- Step 6 Use the show interface serial 0/4:0 command to confirm that the serial interface is also up/down. Example: ASR901# show interface serial 0/4:0 Serial0/4:0 is up, line protocol is down Hardware is TDM E1T1 IM Description: T1 bundle towards LEC MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1536 Kbit/sec, DLY 20000 usec, reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255 Encapsulation PPP, LCP ACKsent, multilink Closed, loopback not set ---output omitted--- _____________________________ Note _________________________ Notice that this command will show that loopback is not set. This is normal and refers to the serial loopback capability. _________________________________________________________________ Lab 5–6 1.0 A901E Lab Guide High-Touch Delivery Learning Services Step 7 Task 2: Performing Loopback Testing From your ASR-x router, telnet to xx.0.0.1 and login with password cisco. Use the command show interface serial 0/y:0 (where y is found in the table below) and confirm that the remote end line protocol is down and shows that the line is looped back.

Open User Access Verification Password: cisco TDM1> show interface serial 0/y:0 Serial0/10:0 is up, line protocol is down (looped) Hardware is TDM E1T1 IM Description: T1 bundle to ASR-6 MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1536 Kbit/sec, DLY 20000 usec, reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255 Encapsulation PPP, LCP REQsent, multilink Closed, loopback not set Keepalive set (10 sec) _____________________________ Note _________________________ Use the exit command immediately following this step to allow others to connect to the TDM aggregation point. _________________________________________________________________ Step 8 Disconnect from the TDM aggregation router and disable the loopback command on your ASR-x router. Example: config t controller t1 0/4 no loopback end _____________________________ Note _________________________ The line protocol on interface serial 0/4:0 should immediately transition back to the up state. _________________________________________________________________ © 2012 Cisco Systems, Inc. 1.0 Lab 5–7 Lab 5: Configuring TDM Local Switching and Performing Loopback Testing High-Touch Delivery Learning Services Activity Verification You have completed this task when you have successfully performed a local line loopback on a T1 port. Lab 5–8 1.0 A901E Lab Guide High-Touch Delivery Learning Services Task 3: Performing Bit Error Rate Testing Task 3: Performing Bit Error Rate Testing The purpose of this task is to perform a bit error rate test (BERT) on a T1 port on the Cisco ASR 901 router. Activity Procedure Complete these steps: Step 1 Open a terminal session into your asr-x (where x is your pod number) router and enter enable mode if you have not already done so. Step 2 Ask your instructor to enable a local line loopback test on the TDM-1 aggregation router at the remote end of each of the following ports: _____________________________ Note _________________________ DO NOT configure the below on your pod ASR router. These commands are for the instructor only to perform on the TDM-1 router. They are shown for your information only. _________________________________________________________________ Step 3 Once your instructor has successfully looped back your T1 0/4 port you should see the interface serial 0/4:0 change to state down. Use the show interface serial 0/4:0 command to confirm that the port is indeed looped. Example: ASR901# show interface serial 0/4:0 Serial0/4:0 is up, line protocol is down (looped) Hardware is TDM E1T1 IM Description: T1 bundle towards LEC MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1536 Kbit/sec, DLY 20000 usec, reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255 ---output omitted--- © 2012 Cisco Systems, Inc. 1.0 Lab 5–9 Lab 5: Configuring TDM Local Switching and Performing Loopback Testing High-Touch Delivery Learning Services Step 4 Perform a O.151 loopback test pattern for 1 minute on T1 port 0/4. Example: config t controller t1 0/4 bert pattern 2^15 interval 1 end Step 5 Use the command show controller t1 0/4 several times in a row to see the results of the BERT test. Example: ASR901# show controller t1 0/4 T1 0/4 is up. Applique type is Channelized T1 Cablelength is long gain36 0db DSX1 BERT pattern : 2^15 DSX1 BERT sync : sync DSX1 BERT sync count : 1 DSX1 BERT interval : 1 DSX1 BERT time remain : 39 DSX1 BERT total errs : 0 DSX1 BERT total k bits: 30896 DSX1 BERT errors (last): 0 DSX1 BERT k bits (last): 30896 Last clearing of BERT counters never No alarms detected. alarm-trigger is not set ---output omitted--- _____________________________ Note _________________________ Notice that the output of the above show controllers indicates that the BERT test is in sync, has 39 seconds remaining and has received 30896 kbits back from the test. If the remote end were not looped back during the test, you would not see sync nor any BERT total k bits. _________________________________________________________________ Step 6 Lab 5–10 Once the 1 minute test is complete, you should see a message stating that the BERT test is completed. At this point you do not need to return to the configuration and remove the BERT test as the system automatically does this for you. 1.0 A901E Lab Guide High-Touch Delivery Learning Services Step 7 Task 3: Performing Bit Error Rate Testing Notify your instructor that your BERT test is complete and that they may disable the loopback test from the TDM-1 router. _____________________________ Note _________________________ DO NOT configure the below on your pod ASR router. These commands are for the instructor only to perform on the TDM-1 router. They are shown for your information only. _________________________________________________________________ Example: config t controller t1 no loopback controller t1 no loopback controller t1 no loopback controller t1 no loopback controller t1 no loopback controller t1 no loopback end 0/0 0/2 0/4 0/6 0/8 0/10 Activity Verification You have completed this task once you have performed a successful BERT test on your T1 port.
