Active-Standby Peer Link Test (#888)
The Active-Standby Peer Link Test is only run in a system equipped with the High
Reliability or Critical Reliability Configuration. It verifies that the Peer Link can be
set up between the active and standby SPEs. The Peer Link is a link set up
across the Packet Bus between the Packet Interface circuit pack on the active
and standby SPEs. It is used for forwarding data and control messages between
the active and standby SPE in preparation for a planned SPE interchange. This
test not only checks the operation of setting up a Peer Link but it also verifies that
the active and standby Packet Interface circuit packs can communicate over the
Packet Bus.
This test is run against the standby Packet Interface circuit pack although it
checks functionality on both the active and standby Packet Interface Circuit
Packs.
1024-
1096
FAIL The Packet Interface circuit pack on the standby SPE has bad Translation RAM
locations. A MINOR alarm is generated when the number of bad locations is
from 1 and 4. A MAJOR alarm is generated if the number of bad locations is 5
or more. The MAJOR alarm prevents a planned SPE interchange. (A planned
interchange may be administered to occur automatically every 24 hours or it
may be requested by using the reset system interchange command.)
1. If a MAJOR alarm is associated with this error, replace the alarmed Packet
Interface circuit pack.
2. If a MINOR alarm is associated with this error, replace the alarmed Packet
Interface circuit pack at a time that would cause the least disruption to
service.
PASS The SPE is able to communicate with the Packet Interface circuit pack. If
problems are still reported on the circuit pack, check for failures using the
Private Looparound test (#885) and Maintenance Looparound test (#886).
