If there are no standby packet interface circuit packs, or if the standby is
inaccessible (due to handshake failure, incomplete memory refresh, or locking of
the SPEs) the standby packet-interface circuit packs will be in the uninstalled
state.
When a packet-interface circuit pack is out-of-service or uninstalled, it is not used
to establish and maintain links. When the circuit pack returns to in-service status,
new links are again assigned to it.
For simplex SPE systems, information for only the A carrier packet-interface is
displayed. For duplicated SPE systems, if the standby is inaccessible because of
handshake failure or locking of carriers, the standby packet-interface circuit
packs will be in the uninstalled state.
Output
Separate columns identify each packet interface circuit pack slot. Service state is
displayed for both active and standby packet-interface circuit packs. Dashes in
output fields for the standby SPE indicate that link information is not applicable to
standby packet-interface circuit packs.
Location
The packet-interface cabinet, carrier and circuit pack position number.
Service
State
One of the following states is displayed: "in-service", "out-of-service" or
"uninstalled". The "standby" state is used in place of "in-service" for
standby packet-interface circuit packs.
Total links
The total number of links.
Active
links
The number of links that are in use.
Failed
links
The number of links that failed to be established. These links are in a
recovery state and not active. The failures can arise from problems in
the packet-interface, EI or center stage hardware. The number of failed
links is the number of total links minus the number of active links.
