Possible Problem
Troubleshooting the Serial SPAs
Solution
1 Put the line in local loopback
mode and use the show
interfaces serial command to
determine whether the line
protocol comes up.
Note
If the line protocol
comes up, a failed
remote device is the
likely problem.This
solution will only work
with High-Level Data
Link Control (HDLC)
encapsulation. For
Frame Relay (FR) and
Point-to-Point Protocol
(PPP) encapsulation, a
looped interface will
always have the line
protocol down. In
addition, you may need
to change the
encapsulation to
HDLC to debug this
issue.
2 If the problem appears to be on
the remote end, repeat Step 1
on the remote interface.
3 Verify all cabling. Make certain
that the cable is attached to the
correct interface, the correct
CSU/DSU, and the correct
remote termination point.
4 Enable the debug serial
interface EXEC command.
5 If the line protocol does not
come up in local loopback
mode, and if the output of the
debug serial interface EXEC
command shows that the
keepalive counter is not
incrementing, a router hardware
problem is likely. Swap router
interface hardware.
6 If the line protocol comes up
and the keepalive counter
increments, the problem is not
