Hi guys
Have a cisco 2811 with 2 serail point to point t1 one to ISP other one
to remote location

the remote location has a 1700 router. the connectivity is very flaky
it keeps going up and down every few days and comes up and then goes
down.
2811 does NAT to get the remote location on internet.

I checked on 2811 and did a show interface serial0/1/0:0

I see that every 15 seconds this what is happening

serial is up line protocol is up
15 seconds later
serial is down line protocol is down
15 seconds later
serial is up line protocol is down
15 seconds later
serial is up line protocol is up
15 seconds later
serial is down line protocol is down
This cycle keeps going on and on.

checked with the provider they are saying circuit is fine.

here is a output of sh interface command

down)

Check clocking with your provider for remote location.

Seems to me to that is a layer 1 issue. your interface is restarting because
is lossing keepalives (after lossing 3 keepalives in a row the interface
will restart itself). Have you noticed that the carrier transitions are to
the roof? What Delija said may be true, check all parameters agains your
telco, make sure you have same encapsulation on both sides, if still failing
do a loop test (follow this document
http://cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk713/tk...800a754b.shtml
make sure that you perform it creating the cable and not using the loopback
command) if the test goes sucessfull on both sides there's no doubt is your
telco.

Hi guys,

I have done a loopback test using the loopback cable, i even tested the
cable that is going to the demarc on both locations.
No errors pings 100% and no input errors and no crc , on 1 side i got 1
input error.
Did the extended ping about 30- 50 time on both ends No errors at all.

You guys mention about clocking, on one side the clocking is set to
internal as this has a built in CSU/DSU. (Cisco2811)

"Framing is ESF, Line Code is B8ZS, Clock Source is Internal."

on the other side (cisco 1700) clocking is not set, I have run sh
controller serila0 in order to see clocking.

I am talking to the provider but they are trying to figure out what
could be the problem on their side.
what do u guys think.

RTR

Verify with your loop provider that it is configured for clear-channel
T1 and that framing and line code are set to ESF and B8ZS.

We've had problems where the telco accidently re-provisioned links into
the wrong framing or line code.

Also, set both ends to take clocking from the network, otherwise you'll
slowly accumulate framing errors.

guys,

if you check with "invert tx clock" command on serial if it is more than 2 mb link.
